Cellfig

After three months of working on Cellfig, knowing that many users wanted a tool as simple as Airtable or Notion, but with the ability to handle massive amounts of data, I had the first iteration ready to launch. I thought I'd start by collecting feedback from the first users before launching the product, so I made a landing page and starting collecting emails of potential users and following up with them.

I started working on Cellfig with the goal of building a modern web-based spreadsheet tool. As I was working on the product, I ended up implementing something more similar to a visual Snowflake database. I don't the first product I built was something I was interested in, so I took some time away to figure out what exactly I wanted to build.

Starting in January, I decided to built a scalable Airtable alternative. This allowed me to skip much of the brainstorming of how the final app would look like or work, and I was able to focus on implementing the custom database for handling massive user data.
