Unclear what the .cool address adds here, the underlying airtable link is https://airtable.com/shrF23JdDHMQ3QDyw/tblzWFbZQv6bVjqqr



I'm Steven, the uploader of the Airtable shared view here! I created airtable.cool as a side project for better social media previews and showing view descriptions. Didn't realize when I posted it this morning (on linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stevenqzhang_analysis-of-goog...) that it would go viral! Anyways, I think I fixed the performance issue that was causing airtable.cool to go down earlier


Great idea! I did the same thing with ycombinator1.com


interesting! just sent you an email - curious to ask a few qs


> Airtable.cool is a tool that gives you link previews and analytics for your existing Airtable shared view links

Basically opengraph tags with a way to track the hit count.

https://airtable.cool/


I was curious too - so I checked out the airtable.cool site which says this:

> Airtable.cool is a tool that gives you link previews and analytics for your existing Airtable shared view links.

> Airtable.cool is purely just a wrapper/user interface addition to Airtable.com shared views. We wrap the airtable.com form in an iframe so that previews and link tracking works, but all the data is hosted on Airtable.


it makes it not work for me
