So, ever since I started working on my own database web app creator I've been eyeing DabbleDB as the ones I had to differentiate myself from, because their product was just so awesome. Sure Zoho has Creator, and it's pretty slick too, especially the marketplace they've got setup for it, and there are some other contenders out there as well. But DabbleDB was the big one, the guys doing it right, if I tried to take them on feature for feature, not to mention the excellent UI/UX they've built, well let's just say that I've been playing catch up.
So this comes as exciting and scary news for me, after all the "enemy" you know is better than the one you don't, but if it's a talent grab maybe DabbleDB will go the way of Etherpad. Either way, if you're looking for a replacement, check out AppRabbit, I'll have a (DabbleDB style) introduction video up by this weekend.
Good luck to the DabbleDB gang, I'm sure they'll be taken good care of at Twitter.
