I look forward to building a dependency upon this and having it be abandoned.
David Arnedo
I've been using it since launch. We track our feature dev pipeline, run our standups with the Kanban boards, automate emails to our team members with bots. It runs like a dream! Thanks for the Tables team for making an awesome product!

@david_arnedo1 Hey David cool to hear from an actual user - curious did it replace any productivity tools you were using before?
David Arnedo
@ejsnowdon yeah, we left behind our Trello board and skipped spending money on any mini-CRM solutions
Stephen Campbell
@ejsnowdon @david_arnedo1 this legitimately replaced a CRM for you?
David Arnedo
@ejsnowdon @stephenalan I tried to emphasize mini-CRM... like the 500 prospect list that a small small startup might be running, or my list of 2,000 beta testers that I might need feedback from. I wouldn't say it replaces CRM needs at the enterprise level.

@ejsnowdon @stephenalan @david_arnedo1 I think it would be more than sufficient for a small size B2B play.
Guillermo Perez
Why is only available in US?😔
Ross Currie
@guillermo_perez Because Americans know how to build great tables - nobody builds tables better than Americans.
Shubham Aggarwal
Lol
Bill French
@rossdcurrie That’s funny, and true. Where was the rest of the world when we built VisiCalc?
Artur Mkrtchyan
Is this the Airtable competitor :) ?
Emily Hodgins
@arturmkrtchyan Yes, its drawing comparisons to Airtable's Marketplace that launched last week along with Airtable's funding news.
Tomi Gelo
@arturmkrtchyan has also a bit of a Notion vibe

Why would you give up your privacy for this when there are a lot of good alternatives that are also free and don’t sell your data?
Jim Canto
@coenvanmourik can you link me to a couple good, free alternatives with better privacy?
Nick Walker
@coenvanmourik Yeah which would you recommend?
Juan Magaña Tejeira
When can we Europeans use it?
Aaron Levi Yahalom
Please give an access today also for 🇪🇺 European Union. Seems like a great tool. But I need to check. Today! ))
Anthony Lee
Oh google... I will support @airtable over this any time of the day.
Gabe Perez
I'm excited about this. I already spend the majority of my time using the Google Suite, definitely going to start transitioning some of my Project Management here. Hopefully it integrates well with Data Studio and the other G-Suite apps!
Juan José
@gabe__perez hey, we build connectors for Data Studio (Facebook and Instagram). if you're curious (portermetrics.com). We love Data Studio, too!
Gabe Perez
@porter_metrics_bi_para_retail that actually sounds super interesting, going to check it out. Thanks!
Bill French
@gabe__perez I have successfully integrated Tables with GAS and to many platforms including Airtable and Data Studio.
Anton Pronkin
it's not available to check outside US
Gabe Perez
@pronkin_ dang, hopefully they open it up...or...VPN 😅
Jérémy Chevallier
Lol, been waiting for google to catch up to Airtable. This is why you raise VC!!! Next up in the failed Google product lineup: Blank Slates, a Notion competitor.
Amit Sarda
Why limit it to only the US during the launch? I manage systems for companies based in the US, UK, AU, but can't use it because I am based in India. And I am actively looking for a platform exactly like this to help me build an order management system, TODAY.
Bill French
@amit_sarda Soon. I predict it’s just a soft beta launch. I anticipate broad access shortly as they validate scale.
This looks really great. I personally love Sortd for Gmail as it offer what Tables by Google does but is fully integrated into Gmail, which enables our team to manage both internal and external projects and teamwork.
Rodney Kuhn
@jenny_fairmann Yes, Sortd for Gmail https://www.producthunt.com/post... has many of these Tables by Google features ... but what makes it different is that is it baked into the fabric of email and makes managing customer-facing work a breeze.
Lasse Soininen
Exciting, however disappointing that it won't be part of the G Suite package as it seems. Also beta restricted to US only is a shame. Yet, pricing seems competitive to Airtable. Hopefully API and integrations will be widely available.
Jay Robah
Why is it only available for People in the US? It is that only people from the US can Beta test apps and give valuable feedback?
Kevin Cunningham
@exit_friendzone I'm guessing data protection.
Bill French
@exit_friendzone they are validating scale under a soft launch. Until those tests are complete, they’d rather not create issues.
Devo
About time... I wonder how many months this will be out until they kill it too...
Bill French
@devonfrohne if they kill it, it will be because it is blended into G-Suite as a 3$/month upgrade. The no-code segment is simply too vast and flush with an abundance of cash for this particular “experiment” to fall to the wayside. If Airtable is worth $2.685b, an integrated competitor like gTables - which is already woven into all 210 Google SDKs and APIs, is worth maybe $4b. It’s easily in the category of Waze in terms of the capacity to save businesses money through automation and deep integration. No-code is a “killer” market segment right now with all the big players investing billions. Feel free to bet against it. :-)

They once had fussion tables. And after some time they stopped it. I had some application build with that and then I had to move everything out and redo my entire apps. If you are going to jump start on with Tables by Google, beware. These people do shit when come to product service.
Can't comment on the product as I'm Australian and we're not allowed to play with it. I'm sorry to say this, but I am a little old school and I am getting increasingly concerned about the concentration of technologies within a very small number of very large, and powerful, companies. I'll go with the innovative underdog every time, not the big bully who copies everyone else's ideas. We'll all pay for this one day. Sorry for the downer. I'm actually very positive normally.
Steve Yang
Google copied from Airtable. Shame !!!!
