Today we are excited to announce a new data source integration in Softr: Google Sheets.
You can now turn your spreadsheets into powerful and beautiful custom software - portals, internal tools, and more, just like what you have been able to do with Airtable.
The Product Hunt launch of Softr, particularly its Google Sheets integration, is receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback. Users are excited about the new possibilities for no-code app development, especially for non-technical teams. Many congratulate the Softr team, including Mariam, on their achievement, rapid progress, and valuable features. Users building internal tools, fund websites, and directories with Softr praise its ease of use and transformative potential, even requesting additional integrations like PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch. Softr is seen as a game-changer and a strong contender in the no-code platform space.
Users expressed concerns regarding the reliance on Google Sheets, questioning its suitability and speed, especially with large datasets, compared to alternatives like Airtable. There's anticipation for more diverse data source integrations. One user cautioned against modifying column 'C' due to its critical function. Additionally, Softr's frequent updates were criticized for making workshop creation overly complex. There was also some apprehension about the product being late to the market.
