Hey guys,
This all started when last month I realized Airtable allows for their spreadsheets to be embedded anywhere, which is great - because Airtable is the most user-friendly spreadsheet app of them all.
So yesterday I launched: https://ecommerceranker.com/
It is an interactive database of the Top 100 Shopify stores, with 19+ data points available.
Now, the website is built on Carrd, and the database is Airtable (both for the desktop and mobile viewing experience).
I used 2 different Airtable database "views" to make it easier for people on mobile devices - so we now have the regular database for Desktop users, and 2nd "gallery view" for mobile users.
I also use ConvertKit forms that Carrd natively has for the e-mail part of my product.
All in all, it was an easy and fun experience, but beware having large Airtable databases embedded on Carrd - the builder has become a bit laggy and unreliable. I also feel the website is a bit slower (but still very fast compared to other services).
What do you think?
First impressions from new users have been great!
is it view only?
Super love this dude :)
I've been thinking of building something like this!
Cool idea. Are you hoping to sell access to the DB like Nathan Latka does with SaaS companies?
Hey there,
Not necessarily, even though I've seen similar products doing that profitably.
I'm just currently building a personal audience for my digital marketing newsletter - and I'm doing so through micro-products like this.
Love this, can't wait to use Cardd in 2020
