Title: Google is Shutting Down Tables, Its Airtable Rival

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/09/12/0828...

Google Tables, a work-tracking tool and competitor to the popular spreadsheet-
database hybrid Airtable, is shutting down. TechCrunch: In an email sent to
Tables users this week, Google said the app will not be supported after
December 16, 2025, and advised that users export or migrate their data to
either Google Sheets or AppSheet instead, depending on their needs. Launched
in 2020, Tables focused on making project tracking more efficient with
automation. It was one of the many projects to emerge from Google's in-house
app incubator, Area 120, which at the time was devoted to cranking out a
number of experimental projects. Some of these projects later graduated to
become a part of Google's core offerings across Cloud, Search, Shopping, and
more. Tables was one of those early successes: Google said in 2021 that the
service was moving from a beta test to become an official Google Cloud
product. At the time, the company said it saw Tables as a potential solution
for a variety of use cases, including project management, IT operations,
customer service tracking, CRM, recruiting, product development and more.
