For capturing text and urls from other apps (for example, to a table of bookmarks) it would be great to have the ability to share to some field of some table of some database in the standard android way.

I’d like a quick way to save my created pages as images! I’ve mocked this up and for some reason I can’t add pictures or links to my post

It would be great to see individual records as a grid of thumbnails, instead of just rows in a spreadsheet view. I envision a view similar to your “guide to airtable” webpage. https://guide.airtable.com/ (image below). It would offer a more graphic view of each record. The number of fields to be displayed on the thumbnail would be determined by the size of the thumbnail. You could assign background colors to thumbnails, too.

There needs to be a block created that allows for custom email notifications.
I am using this for Project Management and I need Airtable to send a list of items that are assigned to collaborators on a daily or weekly basis. Anyone who is assigned a task will get daily or weekly emails with a list of the titles of each task.
There are a ton of similar requests for this already. Maybe making it a block would bump people up to the paid plan as this is a very sought after feature that would allow you to compete with a project management tool such as Basecamp.
Thank you!

I update some fields dynamically using the API. I would like those fields to be uneditable or locked except via the API.
For example, I manage a base called Trips. One of the fields is called “participant count”. Using a cron-driven script, I update that field regularly via the API. I would prefer that no other users could then modify that field.

The schemes could be use to open a view, a specific record, toggle a check box on a specific record.
This would be great once combined with QR sticker for inventories a red QR code would be scanned to “take out” an item and a different green QR to “return the item”.
airtable:basename?open=tablename&view=gridview&record=123
airtable:basename?toggle=on&record=123
airtable:basename?toggle=off&record=123

The updated CSV Import Block as announced in What’s New is terrific — great work, Airtablers! (Rather than simply add records, import via the Block can be used to update existing records, as well.) It would be nice to have some way to indicate which records are new, updated, or unchanged following an import, but that’s a medium-minor quibble.

Forms are great for entering data in a single row, but it would be great to have an option on creating a form that would reload a blank version of the form after it is submitted so that multiple rows of data could be entered via a nice UI.
