7 powerful alternatives to Microsoft Lists

Doing some background for my talk today opened me up to a product category that was sort of new to me (and is in many ways similar to some of what I'm building myself in gRSShopper). The category begins as the humble list, but quickly evolves into data tables, which in turn evolves into some sort of hybrid between spreadsheets and databases. It all sounds complicated - and it can be - but some of the platforms, like JotForm and AirTable, look relatively easy to use. There's also Microsoft Lists, as the title suggest, which is really built into Teams and/or OneNote (it's all so very unclear - and it's not just me; just try to get started using this documentation) and there's Google Tables, a beta project available in the U.S. only. Like all databases, though, while it's neat to put all your data into tables, the real change is how you get it there and how you use it. Still, these services start you thinking, and their existence tells me I'm on the right track with gRSShopper.
