Semi-OT: Spreadsheet as Database - and "main view" suggestions

[Mat]

[semi Off-Topic]

I agree with this CSS-tricks article that using spreadsheets as databases is a really cool idea. The article provides, as prime example, the service Airtable which seems nice per se but I particularly found their "presentational formats" interesting from a TW perspective. My take on it is that they were pretty much in a situation that TW is in, i.e "we have the data and can present it in any way people want... so what are those ways?" Seems they decided on these:

• Grid (presumably the typical spreadsheet view?)
• Calendar
• Gallery
• Kanban
• Form

I must assume they see these as the most important "editions" for their customer base.

In addition, they have something called templates. I don't know how these differ from the afore mentioned list tho...but there seem to be hundreds of different ones for special applications.

There are also blocks, maybe comparable to widgets.

<:-)

P.S For anyone thinking "Wow! Why should I bother with TW when this exists?"... you're forgetting things like "100% open source", "total customization", "You own your data", "Your notes will still be available in X decades when most commercial services... poof!" etc.
