Any improvements in this area will let us send higher fidelity prototypes with more representative data out for user feedback much earlier in the process.

Live data in design files has been historically difficult to achieve. We’re interested to see how autogenerated API data from tools like Wordpress or Airtable might be fed into design prototypes like Figma using the JSONtoFigma plugin.

Content Design API for Figma: we looked into using Airtable to create sample data for designers or Storybook prototypes.

Using the Airtable API, we connected the base to our Github repository & output a data-package.json file with all of the required data documentation fields from the Open Data handbook, the Frictionless data schema, an a few additional data sources we use. We used Airtable to export Google Sheets for individuals to fill in & re-import their responses using the CSV importer tool. Airtable let us wrangle data documentation from different team members.

COVID-19 state industry guidance PDF tracking & publishing system: we created a system of Airtable bases to help with inter-agency communication of a large set of PDF documents.

For covid19.ca.gov, we feed our API endpoints into Github actions and publish the resulting JSON to our static file server. While this is rate limited and might be expensive for high-volume sites, it’s incredibly useful for developing small applications. Any CSV you add automatically gets a simple REST API endpoint, even with free accounts.

It provides an API with excellent auto-generated documentation.

These include chart visualizations, CSV importers, and the ability to embed a webpage.

A system of Automations allows email notifications as well as integrations with other notifications services.

You can set up field level notifications easily.

Slack notifications are easy to configure & "no-code.

The powerful views let you store, name, and share your filtered results.

The filters provide a clean and beautiful interface for quickly searching and filtering data. Their framework supports a basic fetch request. A JavasScript-based “App Scripting” tool allows more powerful data processing.
