I miss MSAccess, but for the modern age. It has been replaced by basic CRUD using your platform of choice, but it's not as easy.

That would be similar to your solution, so either one would work.

I think that there might be some similar alternatives (maybe Airtable? probably using Lovable or Firebase counts) but nothing that is available for me for now.

The modern version of Access is something like APEX.

APEX is probably just as widely used now as Access was. Access likely had higher market share but of a much smaller market. There are gazillions of APEX apps out there.

Agree. Lack of something as accessible and useful as Access is a major hole. AppSheet comes close: https://about.appsheet.com/home/
