Hi All,

We’ve been working on a very simple no-code backend called LightSwitch API ([www.lightswitchapi.com](http://www.lightswitchapi.com)).

If you current use Google Spreadsheets/Air Table/Firebase DB etc., this may be of interest to you.

It is:

- a REST API that’s very easily customizable
- you can use it to store/retrieve data
- do server-side filtering
- authenticate users
- control data access and much more.

It’s still in Beta, and we are **actively seeking beta testers**. If you’re interested, you can sign up via the website, or join the [discord](https://discord.gg/PfWh8sctJq), where I can give you full access.

Really keen to talk if you have experience with similar platforms and have ideas around how we can improve…
