## About

Built by [Tyler Berggren](https://tylerberggren.com), Claude Code jockey and former Airtable consultant/power user.

I started using Airtable in 2020 to build the backend for my business. I got pretty good at it. I later became an Airtable consultant for Fortune 500 companies, building some pretty massive systems with Airtable as the foundation.

When Claude Code + vibecoding took off in 2025, I found myself using Airtable less and less (through no fault of its own). I started relying on local SQLite databases that could travel with my code projects, but missed the frontend I grew up with. I tried a handful of SQLite viewer extensions, but they couldn't hold a candle to Airtable.

When Airtable was acquired in 2026, it was high time I did something to honor my fallen friend. Instead of writing an in memoriam thinkpost with AI, I built a VS Code extension with AI — one that pays tribute to the beautiful data grid that I and so many others loved for years before AI ran its course.

I've enjoyed having a simple, tactile interface to work with data again, and I hope you do too.
