24 alternatives to Set up internal tools directly in G sheets, Airtable and Notion
Hey HN! Vinesh, Ian, and Kunal here. We’re building Bracket (YC W22), a bidirectional ETL platform — software that syncs data two ways between your data stack and the spreadsheet tools that your business teams rely on (e.g. Google Sheets, Airtable, and Notion databases), with the ability to add transformation logic (like SQL statements or MongoDB aggregation statements) in between. (https://www.usebracket.com/) In other words, if you want to join columns from two Postgres tables, sync the result to an Airtable table, and allow your Airtable users to edit certain fields from…

Airbook 2.0▲917hey hn — we’re hoshang & vishal, co-founders of airbook. it’s an ai-native workspace to build notebooks, dashboards, or even lightweight data apps — all from one place (https://www.airbook.io) we used to run ops and analytics at saas startups and constantly found ourselves juggling 10 tools just to get one thing done - exploration in a notebook, kpis in a dashboard, and re-usable scripts or apps hacked together elsewhere. it was slow, fragmented, and repetitive. with Airbook, you can connect to your database, warehouse, or even directly to saas tools if you don’t have an etl in…

Hi HN! I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (https://sourcetable.com). Sourcetable is an AI-native spreadsheet that syncs with all your data. Users pair with an AI copilot that helps them do their spreadsheet work, as well as more database-centric analysis and SQL. Soucetable syncs with databases including Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB, and over 100+ business applications including Stripe, Zendesk, Hubspot, Quickbooks and Google Analytics. That data is available in a spreadsheet, and any models you build automatically update in near-real-time as new data flows in. The core primitives…

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hi HN! We just released the public alpha version of Mathesar (https://mathesar.org/, code: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar). Mathesar is an open source tool that provides a spreadsheet-like interface to a PostgreSQL database. I was originally inspired by wanting to build something like Dabble DB. I was in awe of their user experience for working with relational data. There’s plenty of “relational spreadsheet” software out there, but I haven’t been able to find anything with a comparable UX since Twitter shut Dabble DB down. We're a non-profit…

Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…
