About each tool
Airtable
Spreadsheet-database hybrid for everything
Airtable is what spreadsheets should have been. Part spreadsheet, part database, all flexible. Founded by Howie Liu who noticed 90% of spreadsheets don’t even use formulas — people just organize stuff. Great for tracking anything from content calendars to customer lists to inventory.
SavvyCal
Scheduling links that don't feel pushy
SavvyCal makes scheduling collaborative instead of “here’s my link, pick a slot.” Built by Derrick Reimer (who co-founded Drip), it lets people overlay their own calendar when booking — feels way less one-sided than traditional scheduling links. Bootstrapped to over $1M ARR.
