When I saw the news I was literally like 'Thomas Frank is going to be SO HAPPY!'

[sheikhspeare]

niice. I was just facing an issue not being able to sync databases. This is great.
Edit: thanks for the bit at the end with dragging the simple table into the synced block. Realized I could have just done this with the old table but simple tables should be easier to use

[sabriilies]

Wow, I have been wanting to do simple tables instead of databases for everything. I didn't see this new feature yet. Thanks. I do wish I could create other blocks inside a cell. Hopefully that will come in time.

[nicolasfabjan]

Thank you for this easy to understand explanation. You have saved me a lot of time.

[gads_guy]

Thanks for the succinct overview of simple tables :-)

[dineshprasad]

Thank you Thomas for quickly binging this to notice, your videos are great as always. If you don't mind and can spare a little time, could you please compare Bulletproof Workspace Vs. Ultimate Tasks. Actually I am a little bit confused which one to go with. Your clear, candid & frank (as Frank as you are) answer will really help me in taking the step forward.
