This is awesome and would love to chat around building an integration to the low-code platform Budibase: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Have you tried Budibase? It does not involve writing JS if you don't want to. It's open source too. Just flagging that I am the cofounder but thought your use case is perfect for Budibase: https://budibase.com/ h

You can self host Budibase, and use other external data sources too.

Ahhh.You should try Budibase if you have time. I'm the cofounder. It's open source and a little different than the other options you've mentioned. Below is the repo: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

What other tools did you try?

I know it's not a 20-60 min example, but I find reading open source repos very informing:. I'm the cofounder of Budibase, and I like to jump on a call with new contributors and take them through the high-level arch and repo: http

I think 'products replacing spreadsheets' is not the right angle. Spreadsheets are great but not for everything. I think there are a lot of mis-uses of spreadsheets. When users record list type data, long-form content, relational

this impressed me too. Might be an indication to put these in front of every use as they access the page - that's my design two cents for the day

This sounds awesome. And credit to the team for creating such a nice platform. The 3d api looks real nice, and simple!

Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of Budibase, and today, we're excited to launch our new Public API. What is Budibase: Budibase is a low code platform for creating CRUD apps, and an open-source alternative to Retool and PowerApps. B

I keep trying to write markdown. I can't get use to this!

I switched to Google and it's been great. The UI/UX around management is much better/easier.

This has stole many mornings, days, nights over the last 5 years. But it's been an incredibly fruitful journey and scratches a personal itch as a developer: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Check out budibase - it's open source, and more flexible than tallyform budibase.com

I'm confident this will be possible with Budibase very soon

Do you have any plans to commercialize this service?

by foxbee 5y ago
Upvoting this for signal Youtube is becoming heavily commercialised leading to the little man getting pushed out, and Youtube losing it's best asset - the wild west of videos. On top of that, there seems to be more ads than ever and I

haha that is certainly not the purpose - it's to speed up the dev process so you can focus on other things.

At the highest level: Budibase - open source + self-host via docker, K8s, DO Budibase - use handlebars and JavaScript for data binding Budibase - desktop, tablet, mobile apps Budibase - public and private apps Budibase - built in automation

I am the cofounder of Budibase, and I agree with the many comments here around Microsoft throwing tools at the low-code space and seeing what sticks. The most popular source of users we get are PowerApps users who are fed up with the consta

The problem with many low-code platforms is three fold: - many over-promise and under deliver. Low code platforms are great for simple CRUD apps, defined automations, etc. - some, like Bubble, are anti-code to their own detriment - code is

Our problem and reason for creating BB was because we were continually creating similar internal CRUD apps, time and time again. Building a SaaS platform was not our problem.

by foxbee 5y ago
Budibase is for creating internal applications. So if you are simply building an internal app for a customer, then yes. If you are building a SaaS platform, then Budibase is not the right platform.

This makes sense, and it's something we will consider over the next few months.

This is brilliant and will make design a tiny bit easier. The creator is continually producing helpful, and really cool resources to make development easier. Smashing work.
