Comments and Reviews
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.
Open-source, efficient, customizable
Great versatile tool
Simply the best!
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.
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.
