There's a lot of negativity on HN for tools like AirTable, but as someone that uses Coda regularly, I find it invaluable as a prototyping tool, if not a "production" internal app. There's nothing quite like having modeled and populated tables in such a flexible tool while everyone is trying to reach consensus.

Yeah it's a fantastic prototyping tool. Or if all you need is a basic database a couple of people will use with quite light usage.

I built a CMS for my wife's business and she's used it to manage all her clients accounts for the last 3 years.

Took me all of an afternoon to figure out. It's been pretty solid, and incredibly low maintenance for me.

It’s probably an enormous upgrade from the Excel ‘databases’ that plague enterprise.
