Inspiration

Entering the right type of data is really important for ensuring what gets stored is to the highest possible quality. Airtable Bases can be used by many different people within businesses, each with different knowledges of what data needs to be stored in the tables. What if we can make the process of entering data as simple and accurate as possible?

What we learned

The Airtable team has made creating Blocks a pretty straightforward, and dare I say it fun, experience. We were able to make pretty decent progress with the provided UI kit and documented APIs, so thanks!

Challenges we faced

The UI kit doesn't contain all of the ways of controlling all of the types of field available in an Airtable table. This has meant we've had to replicate some UI components required for managing things like linked records and rating for instance, and it's been tough to match the standard of the Airtable developers. We hope to continue to improve and iron out the differences in future releases.
