That's amazing, amazing. I love it and can't discover how to use it.

  So this is basically just a way to show data from your database in custom widgets, right? It doesn't allow you to update the database in any way, correct? "Build tools in minutes, not days." is not clear. What is a "tool"? To build a "tool" using a "widget" is a perfect nonspecific thing to do. Also, what is Launchaco? Still, I like it a lot, seems to be a much better solution than all those KPI dashboards and also to people using https://www.blockspring.com/ https://www.blockspring.com/ to get database data into spreadsheets.

    As of now, no, but we're probably going to release buttons that trigger API calls in the upcoming week. So you'll be able to reset passwords / clear redis caches / anything else you want, since you'll be able to hit arbitrary API endpoints. EDIT: good feedback on the messaging -- thanks! launchaco is a static landing page generator I just used (after posting this) to generate a landing page -- working through kinks right now! (I noticed a lot of people were landing in the app, clicking around, and bouncing, so maybe a landing page would be a better way of explaining things)

  Thanks! Got data you want to explore in your database but can't be bothered to spin up some React boilerplate? Use us instead! Our goal to let ordinary people build the tools they want, much like Excel has. To that end, I think we're missing these features: - input and store data, instead of connecting to a postgres db - build wrappers around APIs so you can pull in / write data to/from anywhere - make it as non-technical as possible, but building a GUI query editor, and possibly changing the widget templating syntax
