GridlessDB
Say goodbye to spreadsheets!
Create editors for items, characters, worlds, storylines, and anything else your project needs, using simple building blocks called Properties.
Create a familiar tree-like structure of your categories and items by simply dragging and dropping ui elements. Use an inheritance system to manage your items’ properties and propagate changes through whole sets of items. Changing something at the top of the tree will update all descendant items automatically. No more need for micromanaging.
Use a wide array of inputs to edit your data: from simple text/number boxes to file paths with image previews and dynamic drop-down lists or create your own, custom inputs. Design the layout of each category using an intuitive drag and drop ui.
Export your databases to easy-to-read file formats (JSON, INI, CSV) or export directly to Unity’s Scriptable Objects – with one click of a button create all the needed C# classes and objects, then simply drag and drop them into the inspector. Text files can be imported into Unity, Unreal, Godot, Game Maker, Construct, and many more (including custom frameworks). There are many options to set the structure of the final file.
Features list:
- Create any databases from scratch.
- Lightweight and beautiful dark interface.
- Drag-and-drop workflow makes it easy to design and edit your content.
- Organize using an inheritance tree.
- Supports many languages (including those with special characters).
- Change your content language with a click of a button.
- Export to an easy-to-read file and import it into any game engine or framework.
- Export to Unity’s Scriptable Objects.
- Visualize your data with images and colors. Attach any kind of files.
- Easily create custom input types.
- Make your data interconnected with references to other databases.
- Enable relative paths for easier multi-user editing.
All future updates will be free for owners of the tool.

It's a fairly neat product to create jsons and similar files fast. While it feels fairly superfluous if you have sufficient knowledge in coding with the likes of VSC, it does fulfill its nieche for people that just want to create data.

Gridless has a lot of quality-of-life issues. The duplicate feature doesn't seem to do anything. If you click off fields instead of pressing enter, what you've typed wont actually be saved, moving an item between folders with the same property name will clear the property anyways.
However, it is making creating and editing the databases for my game a heck of a lot simpler, and I can't imagine making them without it anymore. At least, me as a newbie game dev.

This is a very good tool, it's helped me create all sorts of mechanics using Resources in the Godot Engine. The only gripe I have with this, is that it's too expensive. At maximum, this should be $9.99. Other than that, this is useful.

Amazing tool to visualize JSON for making a database of items or just about anything you want

Could be amazing but for some reason it randomly re-orders the order of items in your JSON on export. Why would it do that?
