goksan··on Show HN: I built developer tooling for the Airtable API that I needed
A name that I couldn't forget!

Hope everything is going great out there :)

It's built using Go and html/template from the standard library.

For interactivity I wrote some custom JS, I think it's similar to libraries like https://htmx.org or https://turbo.hotwired.dev, this stuff is inside the application though.

Let me know if there's anything you were particularly interested in knowing.

Thanks for sharing

Hey, thanks for commenting.

The API still a subset of the Airtable API for the moment to avoid requiring rewrites of existing integrations. I do plan to expand the API in the future to enable novel features.

Most of my research is in talking to other engineers using Airtable, admittedly none used Airtable as widely as we did at my last job.

I want to deliver the best possible experience for Airtable API integrations, and I believe pricing in the speculated range is necessary to sustain that focus. It's something I'm still thinking about.

Moving out of Airtable and replicating all of it's goodies is a tricky and expensive task, I'd like to help customers avoid that where possible, or delay it at the very least.

Thanks so much for letting me know about this.

I'm not able to reproduce this currently, maybe it's fine on your end now too?

Thanks for sharing, I've heard similar gripes before. Airwalker doesn't do anything to ease that pain yet, one for consideration

Interesting to hear how you're using Airtable, thanks for sharing.

Happy to talk more about your workflows if you'd like, but I appreciate you might already be able to tell whether Airwalker would be a fit or not.

Hah we both had the idea of prefixing it with Air

Thank you for sharing, feel free to reach out if I can help out.

I've also thought about additional an additional layer of validation & type transformation, one for roadmap.

I like the Superinverse logo too!
