Two weeks ago I published SwiftUIAirtableDemo, an open source repo on how to build an SwiftUI app that’s powered by an Airtable backend. Since then it’s done quite well, sitting at the top of Hacker News’s Show HN for more than a day and racking up 120 stars and 10 forks on GitHub!

From the repo:

This is a small, functional example app that demonstrates how you can use Airtable as a lightweight backend. I wouldn’t recommend using Airtable to store fast-moving data but as a means of storing strings, images, positions of views, and general data that won’t get updated very often, Airtable could be a potential option for you.

And uses the data to render these views:

Pretty cool right?
