Re: Show HN: Illa – An open-source alternative to Retool
#22Congrats! Contributing to an open-source ecosystem with alternative tools is a great approach. Having a built-in support for other open source tools is the best practice ever.I hope you guys will grow rapidly. We are running an open-source project too. It’s a React-based headless framework for building CRUD apps. As being an open source project, we would like to get feedbacks:) Repo: https://github.com/refinedev/refi…

EDIT: Limit on the password of 20 characters? It's hashed anyway right, who cares?
More Edit: I'm trying to add a data source, and even though I'm self-hosting it's displaying:
> Credentials will be encrypted & stored securely on our servers. Connect Type Cloud: ILLA servers will securely connect to your database.
I'm going to stop testing now, since I have no desire for my database credentials to be floating around on your cloud like my email already is.
