I just tried using this, and I'm afraid I don't think it's as easy as a spreadsheet. I don't even understand it!

I started things off, just kept clicking "yes, yes", made a database called "shopping", and now...

I just seem to have an empty page? There is 'id' and 'created_at'.

I can "Add row", which just let's me specify "id", which has to be a number.

There is a button marked "fields", which tells me my fields are "id" and "created_at", but doesn't seem to have any way to add new fields.

I then, at my last guess, tried doing "import CSV". It asks me to choose a field for each column. I don't have any fields yet. I want to make some. Why can't I pick "this should be a new field"?

Anyway, import CSV just tells me 'Syntax error at or near ")"' when I try running it. There are no close brackets in my CSV, so no idea where that is coming from.
