No-code API helper
TableID
Solo SaaS/helper for the Airtable and no-code community.
Overview
I built TableID from scratch as a small tool around the Airtable API. I handled the API, auth, frontend, payments, usage tracking, docs, Make module, and landing page myself.
Problem
Airtable is useful as an operational database, but some API work is inconvenient: exporting views, counting records, removing duplicates, and integrating automations.
Product bet
A small, well-documented Airtable API can save time for people building automations in Make/Zapier and using Airtable as a backend.
What I built
- FastAPI backend with Airtable endpoints.
- Vue frontend, Firebase Auth, and API key generator.
- Usage tracking, payments, landing page, and GitBook documentation.
- Custom Make module for automations.
AI layer
This was not an AI-first project. The important part is different: building a complete product and integrations around a real Airtable user problem.
Architecture
FastAPI, Python, Vue, Firebase, Netlify Functions, Vercel, Webflow, Figma, GitBook, and Make.
Key decisions
- Small API with concrete endpoints instead of a large platform.
- Documentation and Make module as part of the product, not afterthoughts.
- API, auth, frontend, payments, docs, Make module, landing. Solo.
Outcome / evidence
Complete end-to-end product: backend, frontend, auth, payments, docs, Make module, and landing page.
What I would do next
A good future direction would be repositioning it around Airtable automations and AI assistants using tabular data.
