Is there anything similar with nodejs backend ? Having ruby is a big downside since you need extra engineer with ruby knowledge in the team.

Wow! Building this in 7 weeks is an incredible feat. I am the cofounder of Budibase - an open source alt to Retool, Mendix, Outsystems - and have been building it for around 2 years now. It's an incredible space and solves a burning problem for engineers, IT teams and business users. We're seeing major benefits of being open source, with the like of the NHS, Amazon, Deloitte and other major orgs choosing Budibase ove…
Thanks :) Sure, would love to talk. Please send me an email so that we can schedule a call. ( navaneeth@tooljet.io )
Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.
I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).
Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.
Best of luck to you both!

> Wow! Building this in 7 weeks is an incredible feat. Here is an analysis of Tooljet development in the last 90 days https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... I also did one for budibase as well https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... Disclaimer: I'm the creator of GitSense
Nice! GitSense is really cool. I recently enjoyed this dashboard [0], which is more basic and focused on tracking project popularity. Is there a way for me to add Lowdefy [1] to GitSense? [0] - https://osschott.metabaseapp.com/public/dashboard/ece8baa7-7... [1] - https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy
I've added lowdefy to GitSense and depending on how big the repository is, indexing can take minutes to hours to complete. Having said that, the public version of GitSense is scrubbed from time to time since it is still in Beta, so I can't guarantee that it will be there after the next scrubbing.
You can install GitSense on your own infrastructure like your laptop if you want, but the license file will time out after 30 days. Once GitSense is out of Beta and I'm properly funded, I want to make GitSense free to use forever for small instances and opensource.

#74I've used Retool at my old job and it's one awesome platform. Does Tooljet support also MySQL?
