   Thanks! We’ve found it difficult to describe exactly the tools that people build in Retool, and “internal tools” is the best phrase we’ve found. We’ve considered “business apps” (vague), “operations tools” (unclear), or “CRUD tools” (sounds

   React! Syncing from scratch would be difficult, and probably not worth it for now. Thanks for finding both bugs! I’m on my phone (in bed) now, but I’ll fix it tomorrow morning. Appreciate it! :)

   Thanks Ted! We learned a lot from our user onboarding with you! :) (I should reply to your email from last week - sorry I've been really busy with launch!)

   Yes - we have 2 customers who are HIPAA-compliant, and who use an on-premise, airgapped version of Retool. I don't see an email in your account - do you mind dropping me a line at david@tryretool.com? Thanks!

    It's a little confusing - sorry. We recently switched the repository from public to private, and forgot about the Heroku button! We'll get that fixed soon - thanks for the feedback!

    Weird! It looks like we had a few scaling hiccups - should be fixed now!

    Sort of! We've definitely drawn inspiration from them (for example, we borrowed some ideas from their right hand side for editing component properties). But I think we're fairly different. For example, in Retool, you can make a `P

    Thank you for your kind words! Yes - dragging and dropping + resizing is one problem we should spend a lot of time improving. It currently works... but we could probably make your Retool experience a lot better by just improving that, haha.

    Thank you very much! As tennien mentioned, most (around 70%) of our customers are on on-premise. Updates and distribution are managed via Docker. I will send you an email! Thanks again for the kind words!

    Thank you! Yes - a few customers use it for exactly that! Please try it out some time - it's one of our coolest (IMO) components. :) (There was surprisingly - no good open source library for drawing bounding boxes / landmarking on

    > 1.) How does authentication to retool apps work? Can I use 3rd party such as Google or GitHub? Is enforced 2fa supported? Yep - we integrate with Google, Okta, as well as any other SAML 2.0 provider (e.g. ADFS). > 2.) Do you support

    Interesting! Retool might be a good fit then - I'll reach out over email. Thanks!

    No, your data never goes anywhere. You can deploy Retool and airgap it to prevent all inbound / outbound network connections. Then you can connect to it via a VPN. I will reach out over email - thanks for the question!

    Thank you! > I'd also add that the most underrated cost is maintaining a tool, developers are usually excited to build something new and when they're working in a fresh codebase they can build and iterate quickly. The real pain

    Sure! You can either deploy it on-premise or you can whitelist our IP address. (I just realized our docs for whitelisting our IP address is gone, so I'm adding it back in now.) On prem docs: https://docs.tryretool.com/d
