I have tried programs like Airtable and Stackby and while they are great programs — they are more than what I needed, so I had just settled for Google Sheets. GRIST checks off all the boxes for me and while I probably won't need the more advanced features, knowing that they exist with even more on the roadmap is very encouraging.
The CRM template is awesome, and easy to customize, and I am looking forward to more templates as the platform grows.
