I've started playing with it but definitely haven't gotten far - behaves very much like Airtable with more focus on the less "tabular" layouts. Like if Airtable Blocks were first-class citizens.
This just launched the other day but I thought it was pretty up there: https://fibery.io

We use https://retool.com

Honorable mention to my own startup https://flatfile.io if you're trying to skip past the data import problem.

Thanks man, and I absolutely agree. Hopefully this can help serve as some inspiration for other things!
Thanks man! Lots of love went into it.
Thanks! Yeah, we pitch and expect another system to catch. I would probably think of something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/tableify for converting the output into a table
Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of Flatfile. At the core, it's a simple drop-in, browser-based component (React) that focuses on making the process of uploading CSV / XLS files into any web app nearly effortless. Has a column matching and error resolution experience, and a backend dashboard for supporting customers through import issues.

You can basically just drop this into your app, and with a little configuration get 100% valid and structured JSON data instead of messy, weirdly encoded, and difficult to parse CSV and XLS files.

This is my first time posting a Show HN - But don't go easy. I'd love to hear your thoughts / answer any questions! I wrote a blog post yesterday about my experience launching this as a side project the last couple years https://medium.com/flatfile-io/flatfile-io-the-new-standard-...

Also, there's a developer playground + some docs here: https://flatfile.io/developers
