Hey there! I'm the Tables PM and your comment caught my eye.

I really appreciate that feedback for us, and we're really hoping to make it as useful as possible for you and others! :) As prlambert@ mentioned in another comment, we're kinda like a startup and if things go well, the goal is graduate into larger parts of Google.

A point of clarification on the free tier: we're offering 1000 rows per table--an individual tab within a workspace--which we hope offers a lot of flexibility in mixing and matching data in a workspace to track your work together. If there's particular use cases you have that involve over a 1000 rows, we'd love to hear more about it. Thanks for taking a look at the product!

Cool. I would migrate my personal bookmarks to Table, and you how it can grow through the time, actually I have 6k records. Another real use case is tracking compliance recommendations for simple teams operating in 300 locations around the world, I would assign 200 tasks per office that staff must follow up each 6 months for 4 periods, just need to use a couple of process flow triggers in order to make it operative. To me this kind of tools like Table, Airtable, MS Lists, are way more than project management, may fit any low-no-code mvp where you just need to crud, use fast filters, identify records visually easy, automate approval mechanism and archive records when completed for future audits. IMO there are more hacker user cases where you just need to store gathered/enritched information that you want to access human friendly (even from an app) without having to build a frontend client, 100k free records would be acceptable if Google decides to go very generous with the ordinary Maker, anyways how much cost store 1000 records? This is something you can measure in money at Google?

Congrats, I hope this product comes to life and be the next must-have tool, I think they will be super cheap in the future anyways because lack of unfair advantage, it's a platform that just need to be ready to be integrable with all existing apis and that have the ability to execute lambdas. But has to be secured otherwise not recommended to be used with sensitive info, I would trust in Google since I use Gmail for my personal things.

I wouldn't surprise when Soho comes with something similar.

That's really helpful to hear, thanks for the examples. I definitely agree that there's potential for supporting use cases beyond just simple work tracking, and into more advanced workflows, and I'm hoping that we'll be able to make Tables useful for some of those use cases in the future too.

Thanks for the kind words, and I hope Tables will help people and businesses in positive ways as well! From my perspective, we just want to offer a decent option for users who want to track team work within the Google ecosystem, especially during this time with covid forcing many businesses to digitize and work remotely.

Thanks for sharing those use cases and we'll take that feedback on the limits back to the team.

Could you enable it for Mexico? Don't see the point in limiting the product. I need something just like this.

Hey there! I'll point you to a similar comment and response I gave for a fellow non-American who asked the same question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24556244.

tl;dr is we'd love to and we're working on it! I'm glad to hear you're interested in Tables, we'll try to get it to you as soon as we can.

What was the experience using Nuxt.js like?
