    Hey HN, 1 year ago I shared the project I'd build, Shareables. A tool to connect Airtable to visual templates Over the last year, I've been inspired by the use cases people have for Airtable. I've seen food truck directories, pet medical logs, you name it. I'm excited to share the new Shareables designer mode, where you can create completely custom micro-sites (powered by your Airtable data) with a simple drag-and-drop editor, which lets you style to create unique designs and layouts for any use-case, business or personal I would love for you to give it a go. 1.

    Hello HN, It has been a while since I contributed to the web, so I decided to get back in shape and publish "something". This app is a POC of "what if diagrams were more dynamic". I'm a software engineer by trade, and with conventional tools, I often times struggle to explain flows of data in complex software systems. I got inspired by video games like The Incredible Machine and Factorio, as in some ways, software systems tend to become Rube Goldberg-esque machines ;) As a side quest, I also wanted to craft diagrams faster than text-based tools (ex: mermaid), as I am always forgetting their…
