This space is very hot right now. This looks amazing. I can't wait to use it. ToolJet, NocoDB, fabrica.dev are all projects I've found recently in this space. I've been really thinking a lot about how to bring tools like this to businesses and make them useful. I still think there's a lot of training and material needed to make these ultimately powerful. Love Open Source!

We definitely need good reviews comparing all the different options. Hard to know the pros and cons of each solution quickly. Appsmith, Saltcorn, Budibase were three others I came across today

Pretty cool project to build in 7 weeks! Congratulations! Your lockdown has been way more productive than for some of us. I'm a founder of Appsmith, which Tooljet mentions in the GitHub project as an inspiration. https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith We are an Apache 2.0 licensed internal apps builder that's being used by teams in Adobe, IBM, MSFT, Rappi, Swiggy, and 1000's of other companies. Difference vs. other…

Congratulations on the launch! What would you say is the main reasons why one should choose you over other open source solutions like Appsmith and Budibase?

PS: Small typo on the docs - https://docs.tooljet.io/docs/intro/

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…

Hi there, nice site.

I'm really like this combined side scrolling table + graph component you use on the pulse page. Looking at the source I see a mention of echarts in the html but I don't think I've seen anything like that in their examples.

Did you build this yourself as a custom rendered chart or is this something that someone else built?

All the charts are by echarts. For the timeline chart (the one in the pulse view) think of it as a scatter chart that is zoomed in. echarts provides labels and drawing lines and other things which is how I was able to create the timeline chart.

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?

Is there a way to deploy a tool to end users only? Say I build something with this system, but I want to give end users read access only on my website or backend system?

Can you reformulate that? I’ve read this several time and still not sure what you are asking for.

Do you want to restrict access? If so easiest should be to put a load balancer (For example haproxy, or whatever you use already) with auth
