ToolJet cannot be used as an alternative for Zapier as it doesn't have workflow automation capabilities. Probably this was the reason for dropping.

Stack matters a lot if the project is open-source. We migrated ToolJet's backend from Rails to node after the beta launch last year. We've documented the thoughts behind out decision here: https://blog.tooljet.com/

I think the data is not updated, number of contributors & stars seems incorrect.

I would say their feedback made sense. While the idea was convincing but it was just an idea, the product was only a couple of weeks into development and had zero traction.

Fortunately we were able to find VCs who believe that COSS is not meant for an exit or monetisation in the early days.

We've built an open-source low-code framework ( https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet ) with Tabler as the base for our UI components. choosing Tabler was one of our best decisions, it helped us ship new UI components

Founder of ToolJet here. ToolJet can be used for building public-facing apps but our focus is only on internal tools. Building public-facing apps will require more design customisation options, a built-in database that will scale well, paym

The custom authentication is in our roadmap but we might not support authentication from data stored in a Google sheet. Row level access control is not possible using ToolJet at the moment. This is something that we would look in to in the

Using low-code tools might be a great idea to build frontends without coding at all. If you are using open-source frameworks such as https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet , you can save some significant time building your

TypeORM has a lot of issues but in our case it hasn't caused any major blockers. Most of the time the issue is with documentation and sometimes you run into issues like this: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm&#x2F

We recently migrated ToolJet ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27421408)'s server from Ruby ( Rails ) to TypeScript ( Nest.js ). Our goal was to have only one language in our stack so that it will be easy for the o

That was a very low-hanging fruit. Could fix and deploy it in a few minutes. There are few other improvements too related to navigation in the latest Docusaurus. Deployed here: https://docs.tooljet.com

Your comment was super helpful. I just tried upgrading to 2.0.0-beta.9. The menu now looks great on mobile. The upgrade is causing some other issues, will fix those and deploy the docs. Thanks!

Thanks, I will try creating a custom react component for handling the modes.

We tried to use Typesense for the search bar. We could not wrap up the PR due to bandwidth issues but it should be a great alternative for Algolia. Link: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-docsearch-scraper

Haven't tried this but will it work on both GitHub and Docusaurus if the section "S3" is renamed as "Amazon S3" and then removing the "{#aws-s3}" part?

I think it is because we have explicitly set the height of the images ( https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/blob/develop/docs/docs/in... ). Will fix it.

You are right, placing the navigation on the sidebar is more useful than the links to GitHub and Slack.

It comes out of the box. We are now trying to figure out how to switch screenshots based on the light/dark mode. The screenshots taken from light mode of ToolJet looks odd in Docusaurus' dark mode.
