Welp, this changes my 2024 outlook.
I've been using Airplane.dev since their first post on HN, and I was repeatedly delighted with the way the product "just worked", I thought they made great choices about code vs. config vs. admin, and their feature development velocity was superb.
I was ready to really jump in and move beyond simple internal tools to build complex, mission critical internal systems in airplane.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to leverage the powerful Airtable UI, but their scripting vs. custom extension offerings have always felt underpowered and needlessly complex, respectively.

- morgante 3y agoI think windmill.dev is conceptually closest to Airplane, and since it’s OSS you don’t run the same risk if disappearance.

- adrr 3y agoI have never used Airplane but have done projects in Retool which is really nice but little on the pricey side since they charge on a per user basis not on a per app basis. Wish they charged on a usage or app model since it makes it really expensive at first. I know a lot of people using it so i doubt it is going away.

- foxbee 3y agoGive Budibase a whirl - it's open source and sits between Airtable and Airplane from a UX perspective.
