yeah I love stuff like that. Airtable’s API usable from public places would be so cool

podviaznikov19:01:41

just started using Airtable myself. Looks so cool. Started thinking that it’s interesting exercise to develop something like airtable using datascript and/or datomic

pesterhazy19:01:33

@podviaznikov I've been thinking that as well

pesterhazy19:01:48

airtable based on datomic is totally doable

pesterhazy19:01:20

a word of caution: airtable is not fit for largish data sets (think >10.000 rows)

podviaznikov19:01:21

that is interesting, do you know why is that? I don’t have a use case for 10K rows, but still curios why they are not fit

pesterhazy19:01:22

airtable just breaks after a certain limit

pesterhazy19:01:32

i.e. their servers crash

pesterhazy19:01:05

from what I heard they use a proprietary (home-built?) experimental database in the background

pesterhazy19:01:18

that may be the cause of the instability, I don't know

podviaznikov21:01:30

just experienced my first airtable problem. Me and my teammate edited the same sheet but different rows and columsn and got conflict error. Don’t know how common is that

pesterhazy22:01:41

we didn't experience too many conflict errors afaik
