Why Softr?

Chez was already into no-code when he started looking for a suitable no-code platform for his project. Thus, he started researching the best directory website builders to explore the functionality of each tool and see which one fitted his requirements best. After trying out a few competitor tools, Chez learned about Softr on Product Hunt, and that's when his journey with Softr started.

"I realized that Softr suited my needs the best, jumped over, and never looked back."

According to Chez, Softr is well-equipped as an online directory creator, allowing to handle really large Airtable databases and present them through a nice user interface that incorporates search and filtering capabilities that are easy to set up and customize based on your needs.

We also asked Chez to list some of the key advantages of Softr from his point of view. He emphasized the good balance between advanced functionality and simplicity, which is exactly what the Softr team has been trying to achieve from the very start.

"Softr is the goldilocks of no-code — not too difficult, not too simple. It’s powerful in that you can build a dynamic app that reacts to user inputs, yet is simple enough to build quickly."

Chez also mentioned the easy learning process and the built-in templates and styles that allow non-designers to make stuff that simply works.

"As a non-designer, I need a system that forces me to ship and not get stuck forever on pixel sizing."

He's also had a really good experience with the customer support team that has been able to assist with all the inquiries. Another thing Chez mentioned is the big number of educational videos that different members of the Softr community have created on their YouTube channels. He really likes the quality of content and thinks it provides a good basis for getting started with Softr.
