Show HN: I built Gridfy – live website widgets from Airtable, Notion and Sheets

Hi HN!

I’m the creator of Gridfy. I built it because I was frustrated with what I call the "No-Code Tax."

Whenever I wanted to publish structured data from Airtable or Notion, I felt trapped between two bad options: spending hours writing custom frontend code, or paying for expensive subscriptions like Softr or Airtable’s premium embeds. Most of these platforms get pricey fast and the customization is often too limited to match a professional brand.

I wanted something in the middle: the speed of no-code but with the flexibility of a custom component. With Gridfy, you connect your data source and get a performant, embeddable widget with search and filtering that actually looks like part of your site.

Key points for fellow builders: - Customization: Fully tweakable via CSS variables to avoid that "generic widget" look. - Performance: Lightweight script optimized for Core Web Vitals (no slow-loading blocks). - Efficiency: Designed for indie hackers who need professional results without the enterprise price tag.

The builder is ready to use so you can see exactly how your data looks. It does require a signup to save your work, but you can get a widget live in under 2 minutes.

I’m curious: Have you felt limited by the pricing or design of current no-code tools? What’s the one feature that would make you switch your current stack to something like this?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
