Congrats on the launch. The interface looks great. We use retool extensively within our team. What would you guys say are the things that would make it worthwhile for us to switch? Regardless, I'm personally going to give it a try.
Joe Johnston
@abhishek1846 There are a number of reasons, but the main ones are: - budibase is a lot easier and coding is optional - budibase has its own automation section - budibase can generate fully-working crud apps from your data - budibase is open source!
Abhishek Singh
@joe_johnston1 Thanks for the response. Developers would really appreciate the open source aspect. Point 3 and 4 seems very interesting for the general team.
Joe Johnston
@abhishek1846 we also have a public api that you can use for interoperability/extensibility - for example you could use budibase's db with next js.
Martin McKeaveney
@abhishek1846 I'll add that budibase is lightweight and build for performance from the ground up. You'll see a considerable difference in performance between the apps budibase produces and other apps.

Step into @budibase a few weeks later the launch of the 1.0 release and just got the right tool at the right time! I have been using it on a project for almost 6 months and I can say it helped me reach an actual functioning prototype in no time. I could share each step with the stakeholders and refine it in an iterative process saving hours and money in developing the internal tool we needed!
Joe Johnston
@budibase @udeisconsulting Ohhh this is awesome. You're almost a Budibase OG. Your feedback is spot on and exactly why we created Budibase - the development process use to be so long and one-sided - now all stackholders can get involved quicker. Thank you for taking the time to support us!
Mike Shanks
@udeisconsulting That's so nice to hear Giacomo - real users solving real-world problems!

Joe Johnston
@abell_vo Thanks for the kind words. We've spent what feels like a lifetime building 2.0 and we're super pleased with how it's turned out.

@joe_johnston1 Really happy for your team!! Keep up the great work 🙌
Joe Johnston
@abell_vo Cheers! This is only the beginning!

Great! Congrats on the launch!

Hi Budibase team, just wanted to drop a quick thank you! I've been using Budibase a lot recently, for all these "this should be an app, but it doesn't warrant the effort of building one completely from scratch" kind of scenarios. Really appreciate you keeping things open source at the core even as monetization becomes more of a focus. The one thing that would make me even happier is support for Umlauts in app names for us pesky Germans (using app names such as "Verträge" currently throws an "App name must be letters, numbers and spaces only" error).
Joe Johnston
@mutedjam Thanks Tom. Your praise and feedback means a lot. Supporting other languages is a must for us, as one of our core values is accessibility. I'm going to share your feedback with the team today. Thanks!

We've tried lots of #nocode tools and Budibase is by far the most bang for the buck! Its open source and hackable and can be integrated with other tools to fill the gaps. The current version fills many of the earlier issues and the flexibility introduced by the design choices of the dev team make it a great choice particularly for building business apps.
Joe Johnston
@n0c0de1 you've genuinely been a huge support from the start, and I wholeheartedly mean this when I say, thank you. You're a true ambassador for the no-code movement.
