    The hello world example does not work. In fact, no website I've tried works. It's usually always panics. For the example in the readme, the errors are: ``` ./lightpanda-aarch64-mac…

    You should take a look at Superblocks. I think you'll find our building blocks both flexible and extensible to solve you use cases.

    Another way to maybe approach this is to consider programming constructs that are "hard" to understand. Imagine you want to "do n things in parallel". If your company uses Java (or…

    Perhaps. Those who want to do that can leverage our Javascript and Python blocks to write whatever code they'd like. Most of our platform is centered around "integrations". For exa…

    Superblocks can absolutely be used to build something to solve this use case.

    Each one of these "APIs" has a json/yaml DSL that could be constructed with any builder pattern. We just haven't released a public API for this yet.

    The UI executes APIs against this agent which talks to Superblocks to fetch API definitions to run. These definitions will be "signed" by a key that only the agent is the authority…

    We provide an agent deployment model that allows your data to never leave your network. We do not however offer an air-gapped solution. Superblocks, Retool, and Airflow provide dif…

    n8n AFAIK is a workflow builder whereas at Superblocks, we are an Application builder (in addition to a workflow builder). We enable developers to build user interfaces that "bind"…

    TIL! That syntax reminds me of Ruby a little bit.

    This is actually a completely separate feature! We're just iterating fast! Our AI launch introduced the ability to have AI generate and refactor code for you in our platform.

    This is great insight. Taking a more "technical" approach has its tradeoffs but so far, our customer discovery points to this being a tangible approach to try for enterprise use ca…

    I agree. Today we help IT teams solve this with our integration level RBAC but there's a lot of interesting ideas brewing internally for this very problem.

    I agree. We believe we've pulled off what hasn't been done before and solve the issues you mention. We're adding "step though debugging" (simple version is live today), version con…

    I'd love to hear your feedback after taking a few minutes to try it out! We think this will be easy enough for non-developers to grok while also flexible enough for engineers to do…

    I've used it a bit and find it to align more with the free form node approach where the lines between them define the "control". I think this approach where we introduce a visual p…

    Yep! You can use our agent to run it locally with Docker. Just go to "org settings -> agent" in our site and use the deployment instructions.
