(Cofounder of Superblocks, an Airplane alternative) Congrats to the Airplane team for joining forces with Airtable, both teams and products are stellar and know people on both side…

Yes, you can use our postgres integration since Supabase is postgres compatible. Shoot me a note if i can help! brad at superblockshq.com

Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the founders of Superblocks, a programmable cloud IDE for internal tools. This week we launched a deep integration with OpenAI, giving developers a tightly…

Series A

Brad here, one of the cofounders of Superblocks! Last week we launched on Hacker News and we’re incredibly thankful for all of the constructive feedback and excitement we received:…

interesting point. It would be interesting that at scale these platforms look more like salesforce in that there are viable businesses / consultancies built around it, time will te…

Not from statements and surveys, but from paying customers :) We think our market area is wildly similar to the early days of gaming engines, echoing what pbardea commented earlier…

This matches exactly how we saw the market before we built Superblocks - which is why we never refer to Superblocks as low-code/no-code solution, but rather a programmable develope…

It's a great point, one interesting thing we've found is that backend developers are welcoming of using a drag and drop frontend builder, as long as it is extensible with code. For…

Since we focused on developers we had to do both those things early as users didn't want to adopt without it. In terms of version control, we have a native version control that all…

Note that Our agent (which is what executes code) is on GitHub here and source available: https://github.com/superblocksteam/agent Our approach is somewhat akin to say Datadog wher…

We're a broader approach to building different types of internal tools (UI, workflows, Cron). We get compared to stuff like Retool, Zapier, BI tools and other low-code tools quite …

Good catch, we're fixing this right now!

Because Superblocks is quite broad in nature we end up being compared to a wide variety of tools but we at the same time integrate with them. For example you mentioned Retool which…

There are some very good features of Django Admin we can learn from like their onboarding - the major reason some users have replaced Django Admin with Superblocks is that Superblo…

Are you looking for specifically to write code in say your own IDE like VSCode and we build a VScode extension?

We aren't yet HIPAA compliant (yet), we recently got SOC2 compliance working with a compliance vendor to do more certifications. One thing is that with our on-prem agent your custo…

This is a really good idea and something that is on our roadmap to add templates to accelerate tooling development. We're learning about the most common use cases and going to buil…

We've seen a mix of small startups building their first admin tool, for example to replace a Django Admin. We've also seen larger enterprises with 1000+ operations people building …

We've seen the most pull from more operations-heavy businesses like Fintech (building KYC, AML, Fraud, Credit Card Admin tools), Insurance (claims management and support admins), E…

Hey HN, I’m Brad, one of the creators of Superblocks and a YC alum, excited to share our internal tooling IDE. As developers ourselves, we faced the problem of building tons of int…

We built this tool while prepping for the YC interview, hope it helps other startups too! Best of luck everyone!
