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.
