I'm sorry. I made the change quickly at around 11pm my time (when I was a bit tired) because somebody in another thread here [1] noticed that a 767 wouldn't make it from SFO to LHR. I made two typos in this edit (typo-ing "28

Ha, great question. We didn't have access a SABRE system so the lookups are fake. I was just about to go in and change it in to a 388 (my favorite plane!), which I think flies daily between LHR and SFO as BA286. ~Unfortunately, the out

Hi all! I'm the editor of this post. I love traveling, and have always wondered how reservations systems worked. This post explores that. In the future, we're hoping to write a piece about how air fare pricing works too. There&#x2

Hi, thanks for this message. I really appreciate it, since we generally don’t hear about “I didn’t buy because of the price” from the customers that already paid us, haha. One thing we don’t advertise — we only bill for active users every m

Hi, thank you for the kind words! (I'm the founder of Retool.) Per-user pricing is indeed tricky for us, since people oftentimes think about the value as per-app, not per-user. But ultimately, we want to encourage , not discourage the

Hi, I'm the founder of Retool. (I do indeed read a bit too much HN, hah.) Thank you for the feedback — that does sound infuriating. We were optimizing for sharing of applications, but it sounds like the workflow you've adopted is

Retool ( https://retool.com ) might be what you're looking for on the front-end. It's built for engineers, so it abstracts away a lot of the boiler-plate stuff (e.g. fetching data from an API, showing errors if it fails,

Hi there! I’m working on Retool ( https://retool.com ), which is “Delphi in the cloud”. The goal, as you said, is to make it easier and faster to build “UI-heavy software”. If anybody has any comments or suggestions on how we coul

Hi! (I'm one of the editors of this post.) When I was researching SAP, I found a fact sheet: https://www.sap.com/docs/download/2017/04/4666ecdd-b67c-0010... , that has quite a few interesting facts:

Thanks! Just fixed it. Looks like the problem was with one of our animations being too big on mobile, and it covered up the footer. I really appreciate the bug report!

Hello! I’m working on Retool ( https://retool.com ), and it does exactly what you said. Our focus is more on building internal applications + dashboards, and we have a HIPAA-compliant version you can deploy on-prem with no telemet

I wondered as well, since I've seen it on Instapaper and marco.org, and always wanted something similar! If you inspect the element, you'll see some classnames that give it away: http://www.bigfootjs.com

We're engineers, and Retool is built for engineers. So it's pretty flexible: the internals are all available for you to see and modify (every Retool app is serialized to a YAML blob, and can be synced bi-directionally to Git), you

1 - Yes, $100 / month. 2 - We bill per monthly active user, so if they're active that month, we'll bill for them. If that's too much for you, please reach out to david@retool.com and I'll try to find some pricing pl

You can! If you watch the demo video ( https://cdn.tryretool.com/videos/4_minute_demo_4827ae.mp4 ), you'll see that every query could potentially come from a different datasource. So for example in our GDPR data exp

Thanks! If you don't mind, what were the specific peculiarities with your stack that made using Retool difficult? I'm always curious what blockers to Retool adoption are, even if it isn't something we can solve today. Ah, goo

Hi, yes, they count for billing purposes. We bill per end-user of the tool. But... if you have a good use case and can't make the pricing work, please let me know. I'm david@retool.com, and I'd be happy to give HN readers a s

Hi, I'm David, and I work @ Retool. I'm really sorry that our Firebase support is bad — we built it specifically for one customer and haven't iterated on it since. You're right that Retool doesn't handle deeply nest

Hi, I'm one of the authors of the post. As an engineer, I've always wondered what Salesforce was. It seemed like a clunky, expensive piece of legacy software that the "business people" always used. Since starting a SaaS
