I don't know if this counts but I really enjoy Notion [0]. We use it at work for developer guides but I also have a personal workspace where I keep notes and bookmarks, track my progress on goals and projects, and upload files for quick access across devices. Notion isn't perfect - I'd love recurring calendar events and overall performance could be improved - but for me it's so useful. I can open it from any device a…

Love it! It's so powerful. Just recently built and entire agency website there: http://optemization.com/home

Great question! It really depends on what you need: Webflow, Zapier, Retool and Human Lambdas (disclaimer: what I'm working on) are my favorites.

What is human lambdas? Like goluminal.com?

We build highly customisable software for human in the loop operations. Our focus is on the software. We are completely agnostic to the human layer of the operation.

Hasura by far, lets you point-and-click build your database and table relationships with a web dashboard and autogenerates a full GraphQL CRUD API with permissions you can configure and JWT/webhook auth baked-in. https://hasura.io/ I've been able to build in a weekend no-code what would've taken my team weeks or months to build by hand, even with something as productive as Rails. It automates the boring stuff and you…

What about Strapi https://strapi.io/ ? I see strapi has everything hasura has but with more user friendly UI. Am I missing something?

I am using strapi ,it is good!

I would like to add Nhost to the list (https://nhost.io). You get GraphQL API (hasura), PostgreSQL, authentication, and storage. Everything managed for you.

We started just a few months ago, but are already getting very good feedback from our customers.

BTW, we just released a CLI to make local development easier, check out the companion blog post here https://nhost.io/blog/announcing-nhosts-cli.

Shameless plug: https://github.com/rmpr/atbswp , is a mouse and keyboard macro recording and playback tool, think about it as some kind of frontend for pyautogui.

Any plans to support MacOS?

While it's not tested yet (mainly because I don't have a Mac), atbswp should work on MacOS, feel free to fill an issue https://github.com/RMPR/atbswp/issues if you have any problem, additionally we also have a Telegram channel were we make our announcements https://t.me/atbswp and you can reach me on Twitter https://twitter.com/Mairo_P_Rufus, where I occasionally post important announcements about atbswp.

Just tried to figure out why Hasura has lambda on it's logo, and hey, it's written in Haskell!
