Airtable front-end builder release?

[Jamayne_Iseko]

Hi all,

I came across Airtable a few months ago and have been exploring this awesome tool since. I have been able to use Airtable to build some really handy tools for internal use in my business but I’m unsure how best I can leverage Airtable to build custom apps for my clients due to the lack of UI control.

I spoke to an Airtable expert a few weeks back and he told me Airtable are releasing a front-end UI builder that offers more or less what third party apps like Stacker and Softr offers. I was told this is something Airtable are testing internally and will be launched to users in August. I have asked him for an update but haven’t heard back.

Also heard the same thing in this podcast video, first 5 minutes.

I have a whole bunch of clients and projects I’d bring over to Airtable in a flash if such a feature is released. Does anyone on here know more about this?

Thanks
Jay

I saw the same functionality sneak peaked in a customer survey a few months ago(I neglected to screen cap). Sounds unlike airtable to quote you a date.

I know they just recently acquired a data visualization company a few weeks back. It could be that they tabled launch of this front end to leverage some the charts and graphs brought in by these new guys. I’m expecting some sort of drag drop data entry dashboard type thing. Null having a bespoke UI for various business needs, I hope this is the solution to our data validation woes. The spread sheet model doesn’t lend itself nicely to the aforementioned.

You should bug them about this on that new Youtube livestream they are hosting every Thursday(starting tomorrow)

Good idea!

I’ve heard the same thing. Anyone have this survey email they could share with us? It’s just that I’ve got a lot of projects that could use the proposed Airtable UI builder - which could be very handy! But not knowing how long to hold off going with something like Bubble is a little difficult.

Cheers!

Hi,

I’m just trying to merge both this thread and that one:

Airtable Front-End Speculations and Wish List Ask the community

Morning, Noon, Evening, There has been a bunch of chatter about a front-end interface to be released soon. I remember seeing this functionality sneak peaked on an Airtable survey they sent out about a month ago. I regret not screen capping. Any way, what would you all like to see from a front end interface? What tools have you used whose functionality would be well appropriated by Airtable? What does your magic 8 ball tell you about a drop date? What have you all heard about it in general? I’…

Airtable Front-End Speculations and Wish List

Any way, what would you all like to see from a front end interface?

• Something as a Custom-View SDK / API ;

• It would be declined in two UX:

• noCode ;
• more deeply creative SDK / API inspired by Custom-App UI (REACT) SDK !

• Result should at least be publishable as a sharable / embeddable View !
