    An impressive and ever developing app that gives you a host of ways to display, arrange and analyse your data. A desktop version is now available and so far as I can see it has no restrictions on the number of records. The free version on-line restricts you to 5000.

I am a contributor of this open-source product (paid by the French administration, not by Grist Labs), still I can tell that our users really love this tool!

The features that seem to be the most appreciated are the fine-grained access rules and the forms.

What a spreadsheet should be. It really helps organizing data, with many handy features packed in. And if you miss a feature, the custom plugins let you add it if you want!

In Grist I can arrange my screen by linking tables or cards, so that it feels more like an application.

I like that I can download my spreadsheet as a sqlite db. (I'm biased though, I'm a developer of Grist)
