This looks super promising. We've been looking for a good all in one internal tool builder, gonna invesitage this now. Anyone have any other alt's they found useful?

You should try ILLA. It's also an open-source low-code platform, and it's very stable. We are developing new features and iterating very fast. Try ILLA and let me know if you experience any inconvenience, and we will put all the advice into our next version plan. (https://github.com/illa-family/illa-builder)

Looks promising for sure! I know its hard to fund etc. but it'd be nice if truly 100% open-source options existed! Even the ones that are open-source, then have pricing for SSO etc. which is disappointing. I see the same in the headless CMS space where tools like Strapi, make it very hard to adopt without paying $$$.

I use Retool extensively at work for internal tooling (A.K.A Backoffice). It's really good in that I don't have to think about it much. There seems to be a new open-source competitor popping up every month, which is great, but I really wish people would get behind one or two of them and make them much stronger contenders.

Is it stable? I really want to ditch appsmith, tried ToolJet but didn't hook me. Yours look promising, i hope you continue the development of it.

Let's try out ILLA! I am one of the team members of ILLA. It's very stable and easy to use. (https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder) let me know if you have any concerns or questions!

Tooljet IMO is the most promising of the open-source Retool competitors. It has a great UI, is easy to use, plugs into everything, and is super flexible. If you haven't checked out out lately, I highly recommend it.

Out of curiosity, have you tried Budibase? I'm the co-founder and would be interested to hear your feedback if you've tried it.
