I have not tried the product in depth but this comes from your website headline where it says “Turn scripts into .... “. But great to know you have inbuilt integrations now. Best of luck, may the best internal tooling platform wins.
If you do not know the product then maybe instead of saying that X is simpler/faster/better than Y it would be better/fairer to say "I don't know" or "from a look at their landing" ?
On a more serious note how does this compare with Retool? I remember that doing the HN rounds in 2019 and it’s still going

It's a bad practice always since the user can easily choose if he/she wants to open it in new tab by themselv but not the other way. For a user there is zero benefits in this practice

Maybe this should be settled Musk v Zuck style for the internal tooling crown? On a more serious note how does this compare with Retool? I remember that doing the HN rounds in 2019 and it’s still going

haha, not interested. Sometimes it is okay to bow out of an online conversation :) Retool and ToolJet are building in the same problem space of internal tooling. Primary difference is that ToolJet is open source. And btw, we launched in March 2021.
