The backend is written in Node.js, TypeScript, PostgresQL, GraphQL and hosted on Heroku.

The frontend is React.js, TypeScript and Airtable's Blocks SDK.

Not sure how that is different from a 8600 mrr business running on postgres; seems putting airtable in the title is just for clicks? It would be very interesting to read about someone building a $$$$ mrr business on just airtable; no programming.

Not that it is not impressive getting up a 8600 mrr business, so congrats.

I also got tricked, but it seems that "on Airtable" doesn't mean it's built on top of Airtable and is a "no-code business". It means built to interface with Airtable, as in "a tool for Airtable", for other no-code users. This is a very-much-code business.

Apparently, you didn't read the article? The product, DataFetcher, imports data into Airtable because the customers are no-code users.

Thankyou. Yeah, thats what is means.

You haven't read the article! He has made a no-code tool to import data from anywhere into Airtable! The backend is written in Node.js, TypeScript, PostgresQL, GraphQL and hosted on Heroku. The frontend is React.js, TypeScript and Airtable's Blocks SDK.

Sorry. Not meant to trick. I mean to say 'around Airtable' niche. In anycase, its impressive.

It depends on what your definition of 'on' is.

OP here. Probably, my bad too - I meant 'around Airtable niche'
