I went from hating Airtable to it becoming the backbone of many major projects. First, let me say hello and then I'll cover my initial plans. Airtable, has been a crucial part of many different projects over the years. From hard-cash lending companies, to simple invoice tracking, to high-end commercial animation projects for Amazon products. There's a lot I've learned building out Airtable systems for others and myself. My goal here is to start making this the #1 hub of Airtable builders and enthusiasts. Soooo, I haven't met most of you yet, but I'm hoping that this group will be a fantastic way to help you learn Airtable, network, and get your questions answered. Being the new owner of the community I'll start digging into why people have joined in the past, and take those things into consideration for the how I'll support this group. If you have ideas or insights, hit me up and I'd love to hear them. Simple plan now is: 1. Rapidly create a strong library of trainings covering Formulas. Not just "Here's a formula, fill this in and you're done" but I'll work to add in cool use cases and pro tips to have formulas do more work for you! 2. Start recording processes for working with Airtable and Ai. Utilizing ChatGPT Codex, MCP servers, and using the Airtable API to build rapidly. these will be adhock and probably a little messy at first, but they'll reveal real ways I'm working to knock projects out quickly. The goal is to talk through at a high level and then when questions start to pour in, I'll get a better look at what content people are needing. More to come soon... -Ryan
