Saltcorn [1] is worth a look. The back-end is Postgres, so integrations are simple. It seems to work how my mind works, it's fun to use, and I don't feel limited or locked in because the data and model are in Postgres. [1] https://saltcorn.com/
It's not NoCode, but it's "little UI" code, meant to create BI applications when Excel is a bit too little. It's based on the observable runtime. The website and onboarding is still pretty crude.

Slighlty offtopic: Having shipped an Odoo project this year, how is the developer experience for you? It seems like Odoo forces developers into time consuming and frustrating workflows (for example using xpath + upgrade modules + possibly reload the server) that make developing for it a pain. Or I might be missing something?
You are missing stuff. In development mode with inotify you get python hot code reloading. In development mode the XML (with a handful of exceptions regarding menus, and ir.actions) will be read from disk on refresh. At work we use Dockerized Odoo based on a [Doodba]( https://github.com/Tecnativa/doodba ). We use [click-odoo]( https://github.com/acsone/click-odoo ) to manage module upgrades (amongst other things). De…

How do you make an unit test with this platform ?
I'd be interested to know if anyone uses nodered for anything other than home automation or small deployments.
If you need fine grained control over the presentation and behaviour of a system then you have to specify those things in detail exhaustive detail using a suitably expressive platform which we typically refer to as a "programming language".
Bubble.io is fantastic for making business applications. We find performance can often be an issue and typically transfer processing activities to external infra (incl. serverless functions)
If you draw the line and add all efforts up, is it worthy? I mean, it might be great to quickly draw the frontend, but if for the backend you must jump through a bunch of proprietary hoops, can you still feel some advantage to the entire package?
scaling may be different but very efficient approach to getting to reasonable scale (perhaps 1000s of users)
Newsy takes an unused domain name and turn it into a content-aggregator (i.e. Reddit clone) with lots of features built in including membership, automated newsletters, HTTPS, using GMail for your domain etc.
I built Newsy because I had close to 50 unused domain names but had no time to develop them.
Newsy lets me quickly build sites for my domains and make use of them while waiting for (hopefully) one day that I turn them into a product.
I have some experience using Retool and UI Bakery. Both are quite similar and get the job done. The resulting UIs are never beautiful, but they are good enough to implement most requirements, and development is super-fast. I think I'd prefer Retool, but maybe that's just because I am more used to it.
