Dominik Hudzik

Three roles in one

  • Salesperson - I listen, offer suggestions, and ask a lot of questions.
  • Developer - I build the application myself. If I say in a meeting that I'll do something, it means it's actually feasible.
  • Business-process expert - I spent many years working in production, including as a production manager and a production-optimization specialist.

Why this works

  • No hand-offs - same person specs it and builds it.
  • Faster demos - working system in days, not weeks.
  • Lower cost - one person instead of four.
  • Higher adoption - built by someone who's run the floor.

Systems I build

DOCUMENTS

Document workflow

1-minute demo on sample data

Paper documents slow a company down: letters waiting for the CEO's signature, invoices still to issue, documents spread across folders.

I built a document workflow system for a geodetic services company with 100+ staff that puts all of it in one place.

  • Upload a scan: the text is read, and the company, contact and project fill in by themselves
  • Every document has a status, an owner and comments
  • Every change is logged and can be undone
  • The dashboard shows what needs attention today
  • It can run in the cloud or on a company server.
PRODUCTION, SALES & RENTALS

Machines & Changeovers

1-minute demo on sample data

Documentation, serial numbers, breakdowns, servicing, inspections.

Defining the changeover standard for switching a machine to another product • standard verification • forecasting changeover time for new products.

Download PDF demo (5 pages)

  • Availability calendar - GanttⓘA horizontal bar timeline - each bar shows when a booking starts and ends, so overlaps are obvious at a glance./timeline view with machine bookings - prevents double-booking the same unit.
  • Service reminders - Email / SMS / Slack notifications calculated from engine hours or calendar dates.
  • Handover protocol - Mobile pickup/return form with damage photos and the client's digital signature.
  • Breakdown reports - Client-facing form linked to a serial number or a QR code on the machine.
  • Total cost of ownership (TCO)i - Servicing, parts, and downtime set against rental revenue - profitability per serial number.
  • Standards library - Per-product checklists with a reference time and version history of standard changes.
  • SMEDⓘSingle-Minute Exchange of Die - a lean-manufacturing method for changing a machine over to a new job in under 10 minutes. breakdown - Activities tagged as internal (machine stopped) or external (prepared while running) - shows what can still be shifted.
  • Shop-floor time tracking - Start/stop scanned by the operator at the station, automatically compared to the standard - plan vs. actual.
  • Deviation analysis - Flags which changeover step systematically exceeds the norm, and on which machine/shift.
  • Forecasting for new products - Estimating changeover time based on tooling/component similarity to already-measured products, used for quoting lead times on new products.
  • Link to planning - Changeover time feeds into order sequencing - grouping production to minimize the number and length of changeovers.
COMPLIANCE

Compliance training

3-minute demo on sample data

In a cooperative bank, every employee has to know close to 30 regulations.

I built an app that makes it easy to check that employees meet this obligation.

  • One view for the manager - who passed, who did not, whose deadline is running out. A list or an employee × regulation matrix.
  • A ready audit trail - who created a regulation, who assigned a test, every attempt with a date and result. For an inspection, showing the screen is enough.
  • Knowledge, not guessing - everyone gets random questions in random order, and the correct answers never reach the browser before the test is submitted.
  • You see what people do not understand - each question shows the share of wrong answers, so training improves where it is really needed.
  • Quick start - the question base is uploaded from CSV or Excel, and a ready prompt for AI helps prepare questions from the text of a regulation.
  • Employees learn from mistakes - after the test they see where they went wrong and what the correct answer was.
  • Low cost - one run per action, so the cloud bill stays small.
SERVICE

Training

Grants, trainees, installments, trainer availability, settlements with institutions.

  • Resource scheduling - Rooms and training equipment in the same calendar as trainers, with automatic conflict detection.
  • Trainee portal - Document uploads (certificates, grant data), plus a view of the class schedule and installments.
  • Installment collection - Reminders before and after each installment's due date, with a quick-payment link.
  • Attendance & certificates - Automatic completion certificate generation once the attendance threshold is met.
  • Trainer evaluation - Post-training satisfaction surveys and a trainer ranking built from the results.
RECEIVING & LOGISTICS

Warehouse

Storage location, batch/delivery numbers, FIFO, mobile support.

  • Zoning & ABCⓘA stock-classification method - items are ranked A/B/C by turnover, so the fastest-moving ones get the closest, easiest-to-reach slots. - Zone/rack layout with a suggested storage location based on stock turnover.
  • FIFOⓘFirst In, First Out - the oldest stock or batch is always picked and shipped first. - Picking rule chosen automatically when creating a dispatch note, depending on the item.
  • Offline work - Warehouse-staff interface that works with no signal, syncing once back online.
  • Discrepancy control - Ordered-vs-delivered comparison and a quality-complaint log per batch number.
  • Minimum-stock alerts - Notification when stock drops below a threshold, plus recurring spot-checks instead of only an annual inventory count.
  • Location & parts - Current machine location linked to spare-parts stock in the warehouse.
SHARED ACROSS ALL

Horizontal Modules

Client portal: download PDF demo (5 pages)

  • Automations - Eliminating repetitive tasks - the person operating the system makes no mistakes and gains time.
  • AI document assistant - Analysis of contracts, invoices, and scans.
  • Event log / audit trail - Full change history - who changed what, and when.
  • Client portal - Your clients log in and see their own reports, orders and invoices.

Industries I've worked in

I build systems that people actually enjoy using.

How I work

A few notes on the approach I take on projects:

Double-checking is the highest level of trust ;)

My AI projects

EMAIL AUTOMATION

Inbox to AI replies

Reads incoming email over IMAP, AI drafts a reply, a human reviews and sends it, and it goes back out over SMTP.

SALES OFFERS

Offer drafting

Reads a company's files - emails, calendars, chats, drives, cloud storage - then AI drafts an offer. AI-supported OCR is available as an option.

CRM & TASKS

CRM in Claude

Customers, projects and tasks in one PostgreSQL database that Claude Code works on directly. I ask in plain language: who should I contact today, who is waiting for an answer. A follow-up date can stay empty: the task waits until the customer gets back in touch.

  • Priority computed from importance, days untouched and due date
  • Daily digest opens by itself when I start work
  • Automatic follow-up dates: 3–7 working days, or none when there's nothing to chase
  • Quick notes first, turned into tasks later
  • Connected to email
SELF-HOSTED AI · BANK

Local AI assistant for a bank

Design of an internal AI assistant that runs entirely inside the bank's network: no cloud, no external AI, no internet connection. An employee uploads customer files, the model extracts the fields into a fixed structure, a Word template is filled and a PDF is created for the employee to approve. Status: proposed design for review.

  • Customer data never leaves the bank network; telemetry and update checks switched off
  • Unknown values stay empty, never invented; the source quote sits next to each extracted value
  • A human approves every PDF; every action goes to an append-only audit log
  • Each employee sees only their own history and their assigned customers
  • Firewall default deny in both directions; a test request to the internet must fail

Compliance training for a cooperative bankSzkolenia z regulacji dla banku spółdzielczego

In a cooperative bank, every employee has to know close to 30 regulations.

I built an app that makes it easy to check that employees meet this obligation.

What the bank gets:
- One view for the manager: who passed, who did not, whose deadline is running out. A list or an employee × regulation matrix.
- A ready audit trail: who created a regulation, who assigned a test, every attempt with a date and result. For an inspection, showing the screen is enough.
- Knowledge, not guessing: everyone gets random questions in random order, and the correct answers never reach the browser before the test is submitted.
- You see what people do not understand: each question shows the share of wrong answers, so training improves where it is really needed.
- Quick start: the question base is uploaded from CSV or Excel, and a ready prompt for AI helps prepare questions from the text of a regulation.
- Employees learn from mistakes: after the test they see where they went wrong and what the correct answer was.
- Low cost: one run per action, so the cloud bill stays small.

The video shows the whole thing on sample data.

W banku spółdzielczym każdy pracownik musi znać blisko 30 regulacji.

Zbudowałem aplikację, która ułatwia sprawdzenie, czy pracownicy wypełniają to zobowiązanie.

Co zyskuje bank:
- Jeden widok dla managera: kto zdał, kto nie, komu mija termin. Lista albo macierz pracownik × regulacja.
- Gotowy ślad audytowy: kto utworzył regulację, kto przydzielił test, każda próba z datą i wynikiem. Na kontrolę wystarczy pokazać ekran.
- Wiedza, nie zgadywanie: każdy dostaje losowe pytania w losowej kolejności, poprawne odpowiedzi nie trafiają do przeglądarki przed wysłaniem testu.
- Widać, czego ludzie nie rozumieją: przy każdym pytaniu odsetek błędnych odpowiedzi. Szkolenie poprawia się tam, gdzie naprawdę trzeba.
- Szybki start: bazę pytań wgrywa się z CSV lub Excela, a gotowe polecenie dla AI pomaga przygotować pytania z treści regulacji.
- Pracownik uczy się na błędach: po teście widzi, gdzie się pomylił i jaka była poprawna odpowiedź.
- Niski koszt: jedno uruchomienie na akcję, więc rachunek za chmurę pozostaje mały.

Na filmie pokazuję całość na przykładowych danych.

Papierowe dokumenty spowalniają firmę: pisma czekające na podpis prezesa, faktury do wystawienia, dokumenty rozrzucone po folderach.

Zbudowałem system obiegu dokumentów dla firmy geodezyjnej zatrudniającej ponad 100 osób, który zbiera to wszystko w jednym miejscu.

  • Wgrywasz skan: tekst się odczytuje, a firma, osoba kontaktowa i projekt uzupełniają się same
  • Każdy dokument ma status, osobę odpowiedzialną i komentarze
  • Każda zmiana jest zapisywana i można ją cofnąć
  • Pulpit pokazuje, co wymaga uwagi dziś

System może działać w chmurze albo na serwerze firmy.

From Notion to my own databaseZ Notion do własnej bazy danych

For a few days I kept my contacts and projects in Notion. It worked while there was little data. Unfortunately it started to fall short: duplicates, the same information in three tables. It was meant to be simple and cheap. I knew it wouldn't necessarily be quick :(

This week I moved everything to a plain database on my computer and connected Claude Code to it, which I work with every day.

What did that give me in practice? One database instead of several tables, so every company is stored once, with its contacts and projects attached to it. The database keeps itself in order: you can't add the same company twice, statuses update by themselves, and every change shows who made it and when. Every day at 21:00 a copy goes to the cloud. I don't pay for more licences, I don't hit the tool's limits, and the data is mine.

The biggest gain is time. Instead of clicking through tables, I ask Claude: who should I contact today, which companies are waiting for an answer, where has nobody replied yet. I get the answer in a few seconds.

If you also run sales, recruitment or projects in spreadsheets or Notion and feel it's starting to get in the way, I'm happy to tell you how I set it up.

Przez kilka dni prowadziłem swoje kontakty i projekty w Notion. Działało, dopóki danych było mało. Niestety zaczęło to być niewystarczające: duplikaty, te same informacje w trzech tabelach. Miało być prosto i tanio. Wiedziałem, że nie koniecznie szybko :(

W tym tygodniu przeniosłem wszystko do zwykłej bazy danych na moim komputerze i podłączyłem do niej Claude Code, z którym pracuję na co dzień.

Co to dało w praktyce? Jedna baza zamiast kilku tabel, więc każda firma jest zapisana raz, a kontakty i projekty są do niej przypięte. Baza sama pilnuje porządku: nie da się dodać tej samej firmy drugi raz, statusy aktualizują się same, a przy każdej zmianie widać, kto i kiedy ją zrobił. Codziennie o 21:00 robi się kopia w chmurze. Nie płacę za kolejne licencje, nie trafiam na limity narzędzia i dane są moje.

Największa korzyść to czas. Zamiast klikać po tabelach, pytam Claude: z kim mam się dziś skontaktować, które firmy czekają na odpowiedź, gdzie nikt jeszcze nie odpisał. Odpowiedź mam w kilka sekund.

Jeśli też prowadzisz sprzedaż, rekrutację albo projekty w arkuszach czy Notion i czujesz, że zaczyna to przeszkadzać, chętnie opowiem, jak to ułożyłem.

Email inbox connected to an AI agentSkrzynka mailowa podpięta do agenta AI

The email inbox is one of those places where companies lose the most time, and hardly anyone measures it. Sorting, answering repeated questions, catching invoices, filtering spam and phishing — all done by hand, every day, over and over.

I recently connected my mailbox directly to an AI agent through MCP (Model Context Protocol) — a standard that lets AI work with real tools, not just answer questions in a chat. In this case through email-mcp, a bridge between the mailbox (IMAP/SMTP) and the agent.

Concrete business uses:

  • automatic sorting and prioritising of mail — the agent knows what's urgent, what's spam and what's a phishing attempt (I caught one right away — an email pretending to be Intuit, from a fake domain)
  • handling repeated customer questions without a person on every message
  • integration with the rest of the process — leads from email go straight into further automation, with no retyping
  • it runs on your own domain and hosting, so customer data and correspondence don't pass through yet another external SaaS — important for GDPR and B2B contracts

Set-up cost: practically zero, because it's open source, and the set-up takes minutes, not weeks of integration as with most paid "inbox automation" tools.

For a small company or a freelancer it's a real saving of hours every week, not just a tech curiosity.

I'm curious how others handle email automation in their companies 🙂

Skrzynka mailowa to jedno z tych miejsc gdzie firmy tracą najwięcej czasu, a mało kto to liczy. Segregacja, odpowiedzi na powtarzalne pytania, wyłapywanie faktur, filtrowanie spamu i phishingu — to wszystko robi się ręcznie, codziennie, w kółko.

Podpiąłem ostatnio pocztę bezpośrednio do agenta AI przez MCP (Model Context Protocol) — standard, który pozwala AI działać na realnych narzędziach, nie tylko odpowiadać na pytania w czacie. W tym przypadku przez email-mcp, czyli most między skrzynką (IMAP/SMTP) a agentem.

Konkretne zastosowania biznesowe:

  • automatyczna segregacja i priorytetyzacja poczty — agent wie co pilne, co spam, co próba phishingu (jeden przykład złapałem od razu — mail podszywający się pod Intuit, fałszywa domena)
  • obsługa powtarzalnych zapytań klientów bez angażowania człowieka do każdej wiadomości
  • integracja z resztą procesu — leady z maila trafiają od razu do dalszej automatyzacji, bez ręcznego przepisywania
  • działa na własnej domenie i hostingu, więc dane klientów i korespondencja nie przechodzą przez kolejny zewnętrzny SaaS — istotne przy RODO i kontraktach B2B

Koszt wdrożenia: praktycznie zero, bo to open source, a setup to kwestia minut, nie tygodni integracji jak przy większości płatnych narzędzi do "inbox automation".

Dla małej firmy czy freelancera to realna oszczędność godzin tygodniowo, nie tylko ciekawostka technologiczna.

Ciekaw jestem jak inni radzą sobie z automatyzacją poczty w swoich firmach 🙂

My AI flagged a prompt injection that never happened

Yesterday my AI coding assistant paused a task and said "I need to flag this, looks like a prompt injection attack." Great start to the day.

A few messages later: "Correction. There was no attack." Turns out its own auto-generated summary imagined a threat that never existed, and each next summary just repeated the fake alarm to itself, more sure each time. No hacker, just an AI spooked by its own notes.

Now I'm suspecting headroom, the tool I used to compress prompts and cut token cost (saved 20%), might be the reason behind it. Earlier in the same project I asked for a webpage with Bootstrap. Claude gave me plain HTML and CSS instead — page looks great, but no Bootstrap anywhere. My guess: the word "bootstrap" got compressed right out of my own prompt before it ever reached the model.

So maybe there was no ghost in the machine. Just a very enthusiastic compressor ;)

Friday confession: Claude Code built my site

Friday confession: I let Claude Code build my new site (hudzik.info) - then asked Claude to roast its own work. Best find: the "Send message" button pointed at a placeholder link. Not a typo, the actual placeholder. Anyone who tried to contact me this week shouted into the void. 😅

Second find: I specifically asked for Bootstrap. There isn't a single line of Bootstrap in the final page - Claude quietly built its own custom CSS instead (per-testimonial handwriting fonts, a typewriter-effect margin note, an EN/PL switcher, tooltip glossary for SMED/FIFO/ABC). Efficient, sure. Did what I asked? No.

To be fair, the parts that do work are solid: sales/warehouse/production case studies, a testimonials carousel, and copy that's self-aware enough to admit "sorry, but this part will be outdated tomorrow :)". The AI has better comedic timing than QA discipline.

And since I'm here - I build small AI automations (inbox auto-replies, offer drafting, that kind of thing) with n8n/Claude/Python. If you'd like something similar wired up for your own workflow, get in touch.

I had an interesting conversation. Someone told me they were thinking about an IT system. After a first talk it was estimated at about 12,000 PLN net. Then the quote came in at 42,000 - 87,000. It included about 10% reserve for possible fixes. Nearly 15% was servers and licences.

I wrote back:

One idea is to split it into smaller parts - show something to users, see how they react and what matters to them. Start earning the first money, and then add more features. I think the users - the paying ones - are the main decision-makers on what the app should look like.

In startups this is called an MVP - there is plenty about it online. It would be a pity to put money into something that may turn out not to be quite what your paying users want.

The answer I got:

A valuable remark.

By the way, you really could calculate the value of that tip in PLN.

Miałem ciekawą rozmowę. Ktoś mi, że myśli o systemie informatycznym. Po wstępnej rozmowie został on oszacowany na ok. 12 000pln netto. Potem wycena przyszła na 42 000 - 87 000. Uwzględniono w niej ok. 10% zapasu na ewentualne poprawki. Blisko 15% to serwery i licencje.

Napisałem mu:


jakimś pomysłem jest podzielić na mniejsze - pokazać coś użytkownikom, zobaczyć jak reagują, co jest dla nich ważne.
Zacząć zarabiać pierwsze pieniądze. i wtedy dokładać kolejne funkcjonalności.
Myślę, że to użytkownicy - płacący - są głównym decydentem jak ma wyglądać aplikacja

w startupach to się nazywa mvp - jest sporo info o tym w sieci
szkoda wrzucić kasę w coś co może się okazać, że nie do końca jest takie jak chcą Ci płacący użytkownicy

Jako odpowiedź dostałem:

Backup of apps - Oppo watch using adbBusiness & techBiznes i technika

Oppo watch (OW19W8, belugaxl) - should work with different WearOS watches - but I did not test it.
backup using adb

  1. sudo apt install android-tools-adb
    android-tools-fastboot
  2. Enable Developer Options on your Wear OS watch: Go to Settings > System > About > Tap Build number 7 times.
    Enable USB Debugging: Go to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging.
  3. adb devices - to see if it is working. If not - read info at the bottom
  4. shell pm list packages -f > apk_list.txt
  5. mkdir -p ~/oppo_apks
  6. for apk in $(adb shell pm list packages -f | sed -n 's/package:\(.*apk\)=.*/\1/p'); do adb pull "$apk" ~/oppo_apks/; done

adb devices - no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?)

Check if Your User is in the plugdev Group
Run: groups $USER
If plugdev is missing, add your user to it: sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER
su - $USER


Create or Update Udev Rules for ADB
Open a terminal and create/edit the udev rules file: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Add the following rule (this grants permissions for all Android devices): SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22d9", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Replace 22d9 with your device’s Vendor ID
Find Your Device’s Vendor ID: lsusb
Example output: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22d9:276a OPPO
22d9 is the Vendor ID for Oppo.

Save & Apply the Rules:
sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

To DAG or not to DAG - AI answerAutomation & AIAutomatyzacja i AI

Florian answer from Taipy Discord

Just to let you compare and make story short ;)
To create your DAG in Taipy, you can use Python with functions or Taipy Studio to build it graphically. We try to create a simpler syntax even now as we think people could benefit from it to structure their code, add parallelism, store their pipeline execution, and have a preview (with tables, charts) of their data and the ability to modify it with Core-GUI visual elements and almost no code.

Nice, complex info from Bard:

Taipy, a Python-based data processing framework, offers two approaches for defining data processing pipelines: scripting and DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) workflows. Each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice for a particular project depends on its complexity, scale, and desired level of parallelism.

Scripting

Scripting is the simplest way to define data processing tasks in Taipy. It involves writing Python code that sequentially executes each task, with the output of one task becoming the input for the next. This approach is straightforward and easy to understand, making it suitable for small and straightforward data workflows.

Benefits of Scripting:

  1. Ease of Use: Scripting is simple and straightforward, making it easy to get started with Taipy.
  2. Flexibility: Scripting provides complete control over the data processing pipeline, allowing for ad-hoc modifications and experimentation.
  3. Fine-Grained Parallelism: Scripted pipelines can be parallelized using standard Python libraries, but this requires manual management of task dependencies and data synchronization.

Drawbacks of Scripting:

  1. Manual Dependency Management: Scripting requires manual tracking of task dependencies, which can become complex for larger workflows.
  2. Limited Parallelism: Manual parallelism can be inefficient and difficult to scale to large datasets.
  3. Limited Visualization: Scripting does not provide built-in visualization tools for monitoring and debugging data pipelines.

DAG Workflows

DAG workflows provide a more structured and organized approach to defining data processing pipelines in Taipy. They represent the workflow as a directed acyclic graph, where each node represents a task and the edges represent dependencies. This visual representation makes it easier to understand and manage complex workflows.

Benefits of DAG Workflows:

  1. Visualized Dependency Management: DAG workflows provide a clear visualization of task dependencies, making it easy to understand and modify the pipeline.
  2. Automatic Parallelism: Taipy automatically schedules and executes tasks in parallel, efficiently handling large datasets and complex dependencies.
  3. Integrated Visualization: Taipy provides built-in visualization tools for monitoring and debugging data pipelines within the DAG structure.

Drawbacks of DAG Workflows:

  1. Initial Learning Curve: DAG workflows require a slightly steeper learning curve compared to scripting.
  2. Limited Flexibility: DAG structures can be rigid and may not be suitable for every data processing scenario.
  3. Potential Overhead: For simple workflows, the overhead of managing DAG structures may outweigh the benefits.

Choosing Between Scripting and DAG Workflows

The choice between scripting and DAG workflows depends on the specific requirements of the data processing task. For small, straightforward workflows with limited dependencies, scripting may be sufficient. However, for larger and more complex workflows, DAG workflows provide a more structured and efficient approach.

In summary, scripting is a good choice for simple workflows that require flexibility and fine-grained control. DAG workflows are more suitable for complex workflows with many dependencies, where automatic parallelism and visualization are valuable.

The answer above was created by: bard.google.com

Below perplexity.ai answer:

Taipy is a Python library that allows developers to create web applications for data and AI algorithms. Taipy provides a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to model algorithms as an execution graph. The DAG allows developers to model simple as well as very complex pipelines. Taipy also provides an on_change callback function that is executed when some application variable is modified. The callback is used for implementing some behavior after the user performs an action, such as dragging a slider to define the value of some parameter or typing some text into an input box. Taipy's DAG allows developers to visualize the data pipeline and input their data. Taipy's pipeline orchestration is also very production-oriented for multi-user applications, providing visual elements for submitting pipelines, managing job executions, tracking successes and failures, historizing user changes, etc. Taipy's version management is also designed to easily operate application version upgrades, pipeline versions, and data versions in a single tool. Taipy's ease of use, language independence, and reproducible experiments make it a popular choice for various data-related tasks.

File transfer: Airtable to DropboxAutomation & AIAutomatyzacja i AI

https://youtu.be/TnTwJWU637s

This video demonstrates how to connect Airtable and Dropbox to automatically move files from Airtable to corresponding catalogs created on Dropbox. The process involves creating a view in Airtable based on a specific field, which triggers the automation when the field is modified, indicating a new invoice. The automation then attempts to create a folder on Dropbox using the invoice name and the specified folder structure. If the folder creation is successful, it proceeds to copy all files from Airtable with matching names to the newly created folder. If the folder already exists, the automation skips the folder creation step and directly copies the files to the existing folder.

This automation streamlines the process of organizing invoices and keeping them aligned with the respective catalogs on Dropbox. It eliminates the need for manual file management and ensures that invoices are promptly categorized and stored.

Key Takeaways:

Connect Airtable and Dropbox to automate file organization.
Create a view in Airtable to trigger the automation.
Utilize folder creation and file copying actions to manage invoices effectively.
Handle potential errors gracefully by skipping folder creation if already existing.

Overall, this automation demonstrates the power of integrating Airtable and Dropbox to enhance workflows and streamline file management.

AirTableLow-code

Airtable is a cloud-based collaboration and productivity tool that combines the functionalities of a spreadsheet and a database. It provides a flexible and user-friendly interface for organizing, managing, and sharing information.

With Airtable, users can create and customize databases called "bases" that consist of tables, similar to a traditional spreadsheet. Each table can contain records (rows) and fields (columns) that store different types of data, such as text, numbers, dates, attachments, checkboxes, and more. Users have the ability to define relationships between tables, enabling the creation of complex data structures.

Airtable offers various features to enhance collaboration and productivity, including:

  1. Customization:
    Users can design their own data structure, add custom fields, and define field types to fit specific needs.
  2. Filtering and Sorting:
    Data can be filtered and sorted based on criteria to focus on specific information and gain insights.
  3. Collaboration:
    Multiple users can work on the same base simultaneously, making it easy to collaborate, share data, and track changes in real-time.
  4. Integration:
    Airtable integrates with popular third-party tools, such as Zapier, Slack, Google Drive, and more, allowing seamless data exchange and automation.
  5. Forms:
    Airtable enables the creation of forms to gather data from external sources or individuals, making it convenient for data collection.
  6. Visualization:
    Users can create various visualizations, including grids, calendars, galleries, and Kanban boards, to present and analyze data in different formats.

Airtable is widely used across various industries and use cases, including project management, content planning, customer relationship management (CRM), inventory tracking, event management, and more. Its flexibility and ease of use make it a popular choice for teams and individuals looking for a versatile tool to organize and collaborate on structured data.

Compare SmartSheet and AirTableLow-code

Smartsheet and Airtable are two popular project management tools that have some similarities but also significant differences. Both tools are spreadsheet-oriented software platforms [2]. However, Smartsheet is more suitable for those who want advanced project management features, while Airtable is a complete customizable solution for managing any type of data, not just project work [1][2].

Smartsheet offers traditional project management tools and various collaboration tools. It has integration and customization options to enhance project management [1]. Smartsheet is great for tracking progress on multiple projects and has automation capabilities, Gantt charts, and Kanban-style boards. It also offers dynamic portfolio management, program planning, and delivery, real-time visibility, and automating repetitive processes [3]. Smartsheet is trusted by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies [3].

Airtable, on the other hand, is a more powerful, database-style platform with customizability to manage any type of data [2]. It can be used for project planning, budget reporting, resource management, and bug tracking. However, it has a steep learning curve [2].

In summary, if you are looking for advanced project management features, Smartsheet is the way to go. However, if you prefer a customizable solution to manage any type of data, Airtable might be a better fit for you.

My notes from testing.

  • MX Linux: the KDE version wouldn't install for me. The basic one installs fine. Xfce: works well. KDE: when I added it, MX Linux crashed. Fluxbox: no menu (do I need one?), there is a dock.
  • MATE: the button that opens the system menu doesn't work, global search doesn't see keyboard shortcuts, it didn't detect the second monitor. Pretty. Fast enough.
  • Pop!_OS: I had trouble making the ISO during installation. I couldn't get switching between workspaces to work. The on-screen keyboard kept showing up and I couldn't turn it off. Ugly. When I wanted to switch the language in Firefox, it showed every language in the world.
  • i3: https://i3wm.org/. And it turns out you can use it to start Firefox :)

Moje notatki z testów.

  • MX Linux: nie działa mi instalacja wersji z KDE. Działa instalacja podstawowej. Xfce: działa dobrze. KDE: jak dodałem, to wywalił MX Linux. Fluxbox: nie ma menu (nie potrzebuję?), jest dock.
  • MATE: nie działa guzik do otwierania menu systemowego, globalne wyszukiwanie nie widzi skrótów klawiszowych, nie widziało drugiego monitora. Ładne. Działa wystarczająco szybko.
  • Pop!_OS: przy instalacji miałem problem ze zrobieniem ISO. Przełączania pomiędzy workspaces nie potrafiłem zrobić. Wyświetlała mi się klawiatura ekranowa i nie potrafiłem jej wyłączyć. Brzydkie. Jak chciałem przełączać język w FF, to wyświetlały się wszystkie na świecie.
  • i3: https://i3wm.org/. I wychodzi na to, że można go używać do odpalenia Firefoxa :)
  • Bateria: https://fosspost.org/7-tips-to-reduce-battery-usage-on-linux/
