That was a good read - liked the balance, and agree with his description of the ideal product, which is very close to mine. I don't need a desktop product, as long as it can run on premises and in the environment's native browser and meets the user's expectations in terms of the UI. I'd add the option of commercial hosting and support to that list, which led me to Budibase - great product, although in the end I was left feeling "no code - but so many clicks!", although I have not gone back to look at v2. https://budibase.com/ https://budibase.com/ The author might care to take a look at Saltcorn, which is in the "Goldilocks" zone for me - enough of everything, not too much of anything. I should write that up myself. https://saltcorn.com/ https://saltcorn.com/ (edited to add line re. web vs. native)

You should check out windmill.dev For me it was a breath of fresh air. It's opensource - so you can self-host. The UI is quick and responsive. But my favorite part of it is that it centers around code. Other tools like zapier and retool (my experience) and budibase (your experience) are so much many clicks and if you drop down to code (aka the off-ramp) you need to program in a input field. With windmill you have an LSP and the Monaco editor (the code editor that powers VS Code) and you can have sync to git. So if you like you can sit and program in vscode, but are you doing small changes you can do it in the web gui. So code is "native" to windmill and it feels so nice.
