Yes you can modify SAP, but upgrading then becomes very hard. Many companies are stuck at old versions of SAP because upgrading it, including migrating all the customizations, is very expensive and takes a lot of time. I would consider Excel a no-code/low-code (pretty complex macros in there + vba) platform.

Wait until people have to upgrade "low-code" apps in 10 years time... will be the same problem.

$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…

What was the experience using Nuxt.js like?

Probably less problematic, as you dont have to merge your changes with a new release from SAP, it's justy your code that needs to be maintained.

It isn't at all. Salesforce and Netsuite for example don't offer you the option of getting left behind. They might break you, and you can postpone some upgrades/migrations, but not forever.

This looks a lot like a SmartSheet clone. The other comments about viability and long term support of Google's experimental products are very valid. But if it can help light up a fire under SmartSheet to improve their interface, that's not a bad outcome.

Especially interesting since Google now owns smart sheet.
