Meta-comment: it's hilarious how every other comment is about how Google is going to kill this project. Next time a VC asks you "what are you going to do if Google builds X too?" send them a link to this discussion!
“Wait.”

>I think we are crawling towards a future of low/no-code Friendly reminder that low/no-code is just newspeak for "COTS"
Other than the major ERP/CRMs there was very little COTS that was as extensible and programmable as these low-code solutions. I think low-code term may have some mileage as its easier to say than "extensible like an ERP, but without the ERP".

Google Maps was a 20% eons ago, wasn't it? So there is a chance that it becomes part of Google's corporate goals, e.g. making G Suite essential to businesses.
Why hasn't Google taken G suite seriously already? The only gem is Gmail. The rest feels like toys (i.e. 20% projects).
$10 a month! This does look really useful, and seems like a smart move: I like AirTable, but if they integrate this into gsuite then I'm way more likely to use it for random things. Interesting to see it being paid though! The free tier seems very limited for a google product: 1000 rows, 100 tables, 50 bot actions... paid version is $10 a month. 1000 rows won't be enough for anything serious - so they must be really…
Hey there! I'm the Tables PM and your comment caught my eye. I really appreciate that feedback for us, and we're really hoping to make it as useful as possible for you and others! :) As prlambert@ mentioned in another comment, we're kinda like a startup and if things go well, the goal is graduate into larger parts of Google. A point of clarification on the free tier: we're offering 1000 rows per table --an individual…

Congrats, I hope this product comes to life and be the next must-have tool, I think they will be super cheap in the future anyways because lack of unfair advantage, it's a platform that just need to be ready to be integrable with all existing apis and that have the ability to execute lambdas. But has to be secured otherwise not recommended to be used with sensitive info, I would trust in Google since I use Gmail for my personal things.
I wouldn't surprise when Soho comes with something similar.
As a product, this looks super-cool. However, I've got to be honest: while I'd play around with it while it's part of Area 120, there's no way I'd use it in a business until it officially became part of G Suite, as a core service . If Keep and Tasks are core services, then this needs to be too. That becomes a guarantee that it'll stick around basically forever. So it's very exciting to see Google launch something lik…

Adsense/Adwords spews tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. Google's political economy incentivizes groups to build new products not for their revenue streams but to claim larger bonuses of the ad-revenue pie. The users who buy into these "new" products are just cannon fodder in that game. Remember Google+? Vic Gundotra made off with probably tens of millions or more to launch a failed product.
Almost anything MSFT releases in response to Google or competitors is inferior but MSFT's products are preferable due to implied longevity. MSFT has inoculated themselves against this parasitic political economy while Google and its users are held hostage by it.
What I see so far seems decent, but to make this something I'm actually going to rely on and build on, it needs better placement in Google's portfolio.

Exactly. Until it's part of the suite it doesn't have Google's full backing and no guarantee that they won't kill it. I use Keep to share lists with my spouse but even that I don't put anything important into because it could go away as quickly as it showed up.
You don't need to worry about Keep. It's part of G Suite core services, which means corporations have long-term contracts with Google that basically guarantees it stays around. Not to mention that Keep is deeply integrated with Gmail, Cal, Docs, etc. No matter how lightweight of a tool it may seem, Keep isn't going away. G Suite is very conservative and careful with changes they make around their core services.
