Front end for Airtable recommendations

I am leaning towards Glide if anyone is interested. 

anyone have any experience with Glide?

@Andrew_Davies    Did Glide work out for you?  I am looking front end for apps that I built in airtable.  I would eventually like some of these to be open to our customers as a form of self servicing.  Budget isn't the most important thing for us, as most of the products you mention seem to be around $100/mo.  

Would love to hear what you chose and how its working for you and what limitations it has that you weren't aware about?

Hi

Sorry for the slow reply. Have you got anywhere yet?

Glide has worked out well for me but it’s not perfect. I guess that’s the nature of no-code - there is an inevitable compromise. 

One of my issues is there is so much choice!  I delve into one solution thinking it’s the bees knees, only to hit a road block after several wasted days. But that said, I have settled on Glide (for now at least)

it’s an ever changing market though and definitely worth keeping an eye on what is available. Thinks are l improving all the time. 

Likewise - would be interested to hear how you get on!

Hello

I’ve posted about this elsewhere on the forum (search for Noloco) but I’ve had really good success with Noloco. 

More info on the other post - but it’s working really well for me.

Checkout https://basefront.app looks interesting for this use case but you need to embed into your existing site plus you’ll definitely need some bespoke work to setup editing and webhooks etc to send / save data to a separate base. 

I'm really glad to hear you’ve explored Softr as your front end solution for Airtable. It's awesome that you've already had a positive experience building an app with our platform!

Here are a few more reasons why Softr is a great fit for you, just in case you're still weighing your options to build an Airtable frontend:

• Easy Data Management: Softr's CRUD functionality makes updating or deleting records a breeze. It's super intuitive.
• Always in Sync: With Softr, your data syncs in real-time with Airtable, so you never have to worry about things getting out of date.
• Secure and Simple User Management: Invite users to your platform securely, and set up access levels and visibility rules without any hassle. You can also define app-level restrictions to ensure restricted data cannot be viewed, updated, or deleted in your app.
• Grouping & Filtering: Our list and table blocks offer powerful grouping functionality. You can filter and group data effortlessly, saving you time and energy.
• Pricing: Softr offers a "free forever" plan, so you can try it out for as long as you want and upgrade only when you need. Softr’s paid plans include a higher number of users & collaborators, unlimited database records, and more building blocks compared to Noloco.

    • Ability to embed your app into other sites, or add custom code to your app
    • Live chat support
