I built developer tooling for the Airtable API that I needed

As a software engineer, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of working with the Airtable API. As more non-technical users began using the platform in our growing business, the need for engineering to automate processes and sync data into Airtable grew. However, keeping track of process failures and ensuring that no unresolved failures slipped by was difficult and required significant effort. That's why I created Airwalker, a toolkit that improves the reliability of processes using the Airtable API and helps you correct issues quickly and with minimal effort. Here are some of the…

In plain words

Airwalker is a developer toolkit designed to improve reliability when working with the Airtable API. It provides base schema timeline tracking, request and response logging, the ability to edit and replay failed requests, and automatically maintained TypeScript types. The tool helps engineering teams quickly identify and resolve integration failures without extensive manual effort, making it particularly useful for businesses automating processes and syncing data into Airtable as their operations scale.

    hey 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 a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
