#2FYI, we require that you oauth in via a Google account purely for authentication right now. We don't request permissions for your email, calendar, contacts, or other data--only your name, email, and profile picture (which is used in the UI). We're working on support for email/password based signup, as well as oauth support for other services.

#3This looks beautiful! Love the database model, which reminds me of Salesforce's flexibility with an AWESOME front end. Really excited to see how people use it.

#4Looks pretty great. I'm not sure if I have a use case personally, but seems quite well-executed. Any plans for an Android app?
Also, minor note. On the fifth step of the tour, the word "seperate" is misspelled.

Thanks for checking it out! Yes, an Android app is on the roadmap for the near future. Thanks for the heads up, will fix the typo in the next deploy. If you want some inspiration for uses cases, we do have a template gallery here: https://airtable.com/templates

#7For someone who has spent a lot of time in Excel hacking things together this looks very useful.

#8This looks great - actually it could be exactly what we need to manage our overbearing CRM spreadsheet. Looking forward to that account invite - would start using it today!

Should I be able to access the templates after I auth or do I need an invite?

#10This is the absolute best for structured data... been a beta user and hooked on the mobile app now. It's basically replaced evernote for me.
