This looks fantastic! I use Fieldbook to organize my life and it's great to see the pace at which new features are being added.

I would love to see a custom forms feature where I can build a form for myself or for others to enter rows. Collecting info is the one feature where I still turn to Google Spreadheets

Glad you're enjoying Fieldbook! Did you see our build-a-form example with Codelets, its one the features I hope people can get a lot of use from. Here is a direct link to that example: https://github.com/fieldbook/api-docs/blob/master/codelets/f...

Wow, fantastic! I just made a codelet form and it works beautifully! I'm now recommending this to everyone.

This is the best feature you could ever think about implementing. It solves tons of problems, real and potential, at the same time.

I'm using Fieldbook for running my non-tech physical business and it's awesome. Now I'm starting to introduce it to another small business in which I'm a partner.

Love this! Is there a way to trigger it to run when an event happens in my book?

Yeah, you could create a codelet and then configure a webhook to invoke the codelet: https://github.com/fieldbook/api-docs/blob/master/reference....

(In the future we'd like to have an even easier / more seamless way of handling webhooks with codelets.)
