You can try us out when we launch, though for us it is more "assemble your own Notion tool like Lego" rather than an out-of-the-box Notion clone.

It will be released as open source over the summer. Currently only the interpreter is working. We are still building out the UI builder and editor. Take a look at our earlier comment regarding motivation/business model: https:/&#

This is quite true. We are building a VBA interpreter and the language is full of problematic practices. Go's much-maligned if err != nil pales in comparison to On Error Resume Next . Good static analysis and linting really helps he

Hi Keith, I still remember when Autocode was called Stdlib. I liked the old name a lot better :) For us at Hypermachine, we are tackling the problem by upgrading an existing low code platform - VB6/VBA. Our hypothesis is that pure no-c

Congrats on shipping this, this looks really cool. Reminds me of n8n.io. What is the reasoning behind writing the flow editor from scratch versus utilising an existing library such as Rete.js? Also, if you need some ideas on the visual prog

Since Python is the most popular beginner language, I am also inclined to point out that their standard for "rapid prototyping" is Django. Your average Excel user is more likely to throw together a quick app in VB than study Mozil

Because current low-code development tools boxes you in and are extremely inflexible. They are walled gardens, antithetical to general purpose computing. JavaScript and Python are ultimately not as beginner friendly as they like to claim to

I suppose this is as good a time as any to mention that we are working on an open source interpreter compatible with VB6/VBA that can run on the web. We didn't plan to make the announcement today but since Microsoft is releasing t
