I like it! I feel like it's exposing the underlying capabilities of CloudKit a lot more directly to users, which is cool.

If you're interested in reading about the kinds of technology that make things like this possible, the CloudKit paper is a really excellent read: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p540-shraer.pdf

What makes CloudKit easier to implement these features? Why not a local db like sqlite?

Very nice idea, and nicely implemented. One of those things that seems like it should already have existed, especially with how many headless CMSs there are out there, having a personal CMS of sorts just makes sense.

Excellent app! Used to create tables in the Notes app but this is way more useful. Will be upgrading shortly. Thank you!
