Founder here :)<p>While working at Google years ago, I co-founded a nonprofit for math enrichment classes. I ran it in my spare time, using Google Sheets, until the spreadsheet setup grew too unwieldy, time-consuming, and frustrating. Back then, I bit the bullet, and rebuilt it using Django. It took months of my evenings and weekends — just to recreate a database version of what I <i>almost</i> had with a spreadsheet.<p>That got me thinking what made spreadsheets my tool of choice to start with, and what made me switch to a database, and if we can have the best of both worlds. So we built Grist to be a “relational spreadsheet” — most of what a spreadsheet has, but with more structure, linking between records, and a flexible UI on top.<p>I’ve been using Grist daily, it’s now my tool of choice. I’d love to know what uses you put it to as well!
Great tool guys. I've been dreaming of such a flexible but convenient tool. The existing tools like Airtable, Coda or Notion are good up to certain point, but allowing Python functions really open up a higher level.
>> Grist tables are literally SQLite tables.<p>So whenever a new form/table is created, is it getting stored within a sqlite table on your backend ?
Hey guys, Instead of me trying to put together Jupyter and this can I just use Python in Grist like use the Pandas and everything else? Combining this plus the magic of Jupyter seems like my dream environment now :). No need to worry about anything else :).
