> Most of the benefits of those so called no-code or low-code platform is not in the coding abstraction but in the platforming aspect that makes it easy to deploy Exactly! This is what the "serverless" model was supposed to solve but that got hype cycled into something else. Now the same thing is happening with nocode. I like the idea behind windmill but I would prefer writing the code in my own ide and checking it into git. Is this possible?

Yes you can, and you should! The included versioning is there for simplicity if you do not want the hassle to maintain your own git repo. But the real git will always be more powerful. There is a github action to automatically deploy from github to windmill: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill-gh-action-deploy https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill-gh-action-deploy That gh action is what I use myself for the public templates that hydrate every workspace on: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill Fun fact, the way it works is that it just tarball a subdir of your repo and send it as an input of a normal windmill script that then just extract it to your workspace (for all the diffs that it finds). Note: It is still a one-man, early startup for now. I am looking for a technical co-founder and applying to YC. The stack is Rust, Svelte and Postgres :) Note2: I am also looking for early customers and would be happy to customize windmill to your needs if you were to trust us.

  Awesome seeing Svelte used in new stacks. It’s definitely my favorite FE experience I’ve had in a long time, made it fun again.

    Completely agree! I normally hate frontend and somehow Svelte made it almost my favorite part of my day. The code looks like it does what it should do, no ridiculous abstraction, and the resulting app is fast af. Some love to tailwindcss too.
