#1: A Better Way to Import Your Data
Don’t get me wrong—I love Knack.
Knack has allowed our software team to develop solutions and deliver real value to our users at a pace that could not be achieved otherwise.
With that being said, no love is perfect, and I do have my own few gripes with Knack – specifically their table view’s interface.
You can probably relate if you or your users have asked any of the following questions:
- Why can I only edit a single inline Knack cell at a time?
- Why does the Edit form pop up in a little window with a form?
- I’ve already got data in my excel spreadsheet. Why can’t I just import it without having to go to the backend?
- Knack is sooo slow to navigate… Why so many loading spinners?
These questions led us to develop TableToSpreadsheet an easy-to-use Knack plugin that replaces a regular Knack table with an excel-like spreadsheet.
