Thanks for the positivity and feedback!

Thanks. We hired a dev advocate in April and they've spent a huge amount of time improving the docs.

Thank you. Up to now, we've lacked on the education front. Hopefully the university helps onboard users and gets them ramped up asap.

Thanks for the comment. You can check out an example component here: https://github.com/andz-bb/budibase-component-star-rating

Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of Budibase, and we're super excited ... and nervous... to be posting Budibase 2.0 on HN. We launched Budibase 1.0 to HN around a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29242466.

Basically, Budibase is an open source GUI that allows you to connect to your database/APIs and build internal tools over the top of your data using prebuilt components (buttons, dropdowns, tables, etc.). It also comes with an automations section for managing logic and automating simple processes (email notifications for example).

Since last year, we've been working hard, talking to users, writing code and improving design. We discovered that Budibase is great for building simple CRUD apps and forms. But, we also found that when the apps reached a certain complexity, a little code was required. Users wanted more flexibility and when talking to our community, this was evident: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/discussions/5518

Budibase 2.0 brings with it a number of new features and more:

- add your own custom components

- add your own custom datasources

- user groups

- a new Budibase university

On top of the features above, with Budibase, you can also:

- connect to multiple datasources such as Postgres, Mongo, Snowflake and more

- run Budibase on your own infra using Docker, K8s, and more

- extend Budibase with its public API

If you're curious how it works - here are the docs:

The university offers a number of videos to explore Budibase in a more visual way:

Also, you can try Budibase via the website:

Thanks! Happy to answer any questions and respond to feedback.

This happened to me once. It got really weird. My partner and I didn't know there was a fake account made, and we later found out, for days this fake account was talking to my partner - being super nice and genuinely a better person than the actual real me.

Anyway, they later asked my partner to send money to their personal account. I was a little bit sad.

Ohhh i've never heard of whatsyoursign - awesome list. cheers

I love the website. I'm an intercom user but I'd love to move away from it. I don't use it for the chat, and use it more for onboarding emails, user views, and walkthroughs - does chatwoot plan to offer these in the future?

Hugeeeeee vaperware vibes right now

'Google wants to take on...'

My immediate reaction to reading these few words is - "another tool for the Google graveyard"

The UI of the product is nice too - really feels like Vercel which is a good thing. It would be good if you were able to build UTM tags in the product, and pull analytics on them - apologies if this already possible.

Great website. I really like the globe and overall theme - reminds me of Vercel. One small note - the github stars image made me think you had 0 stars. Not a big deal, but you might want to update it.

Great work

Pretty cool name. I'm surprised there's not a simple generator for generating these tiny stylesheets - or maybe there is?

This looks promising but I can't get the installer to load. Would love to get updates on progress.

I lost 2kg trying to center a div once.

Jokes aside. Interesting article. I think the title assumes an answer but in reality the article is a gateway to further studies. Worthwhile read nonetheless.

I try to inform users as much as possible re our boundaries and how we prioritize feature requests within the Github issue template.

I think it helps, but it's not bulletproof.

This is great. CRON presets are great, but this is perfect for allowing users to define their own CRON expressions. Nice work!

I remember a guy in my class at school carried a small yellow toy car in his pocket. At any given moment he would flash it before your eyes, and swiftly after a fist of boney knuckles would come crashing into your arm.

Thanks!

I understand their intentions for doing this - i don't agree with them. My initial reaction was 'sleep mode' may be better and alert people to either log in and "activate" their repo.

Once again, i don't agree with deleting dormant projects, I'm just curious what an alternative solution is?

Not sure if this is a joke, but I remember when I was younger the sight or a yellow car (beetle?) would thrust you into attack or defend mode, as this was signal that you could punch one of you mates on the arm.

It always confused me. But then again, I was always the one with the sore arm in the end.

A lovely dose of nostalgia right there.

I feel Apple have tried this numerous times in different flavors before.

Just stick to what you do best. Let Google and social networks poison our minds with ads.

Congrats on the announcement Superblocks team. I am the cofounder of Budibase - an open source alternative to Superblocks.

For us, as developers, it was critical that this type of tool had to be open source - like the other tools we used and came to love and rely on.

Credit for building the platform. Observability is a great idea and something I've not seen before in low code platforms.

For reference, to the wider community, if you are interested in an open source alternative, here's a link to the Budibase github:

Budibase Github Repo: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Appsmith is another open source alternative.

Great write-up Marty and huge success for Budibase. For transparency, I am one of the Budibase cofounders.

Is it me, or is CSS getting exponentially better over these last couple of months/years?

Like a lot of software, it's matured and along the way has put on some weight. I still love it for certain use cases, but tools like Dagster are peeking my interest.

Now i want to drive along a winding road in sunny mainland France eating a beautiful Jambon-Beurre.

They should make a lovely, pastel, electric version of this. I bet it would be a hit!

This is the first time i've read about differentiable programming and it was incredibly interesting. Also, it's the first time I've came across this blog and it's wonderful. The minimal interactions really helped me visualise the content and it helped with comprehension. Great job.

The docs are super old school, and I love them! Trying to spin up the sample game as I begin work - this might be a bad idea!
