Building this in 7 weeks is an incredible feat. I am the cofounder of Budibase - an open source alt to Retool, Mendix, Outsystems - and have been building it for around 2 years now.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s an incredible space and solves a burning problem for  engineers, IT teams and business users.&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#x27;re seeing major benefits of being open source, with the like of the NHS, Amazon, Deloitte and other major orgs choosing Budibase over proprietary alternatives, so I would say your decision to offer self-hosting was a good one.&lt;p&gt;As much as we are probably seen as competitors, I wish you well and I am happy to share notes if you would like a call?&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;Budibase&amp;#x2F;budibase&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;Budibase&amp;#x2F;budibase&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>navaneethpk</author><text>Founder here,&lt;p&gt;ToolJet is a no-code platform for building &amp;amp; deploying custom internal tools. ToolJet is built using Ruby on Rails and ReactJS. ToolJet can connect to existing data sources of companies such as databases, Google sheets, API endpoints, external services, and more. ToolJet&amp;#x27;s drag and drop app builder can quickly create UI widgets such as tables, charts, forms, etc and connect these widgets with the data from data sources.&lt;p&gt;I have been dabbling with the idea of ToolJet for a while. but the real progress happened over the last 7 weeks while I was in quarantine.  One of my family members tested positive for covid and then came to the state-mandated lockdown. Not being able to step out of my home has been particularly hard, but nevertheless gave birth to ToolJet.&lt;p&gt;I believe that the tools that require access to sensitive data should be self-hosted ( data never leaves the premises) and open-source ( modify the software to fit organization-specific requirements ).</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Show HN: Open-source alternative to Retool, Internal.io, etc.</title><url>https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/</url></story>
