One of the creators of Very Good Table here - I used MS Access a ton in the late 90's and early 2000's and have yet to see the equivalent on the web, even with solutions like Airtable out there. It was a big inspiration for building VGT. :)


This has (not so secretly) been a startup I've wanted to build for a while (Access, just in 2022)...our backgrounds sound similar in regard to Access usage. We should stay in touch if you're open to it.


Thanks! I’d say the main differentiator over something like Airtable is being able to customize the record details page through our interface builder. We just launched today, but there will be more to come :)


Nice! Ill check it out soon as well


Sure! Our backend is Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL. API layer is GraphQL, and React/Apollo on the frontend.


Thanks for the feedback! I'm one of the creators of Very Good Table.

We've seen a similar trend ourselves and most of the time, Salesforce is far more complex than what SMBs actually need. Plus it's a nightmare to customize and maintain without hiring specialists.

The rest of your points make sense as well - we'll be sure to elaborate on the specifics of what you can accomplish with the integrations as well as how SMBs are using Very Good Table.

Thanks again for checking it out!
