I see myself using this. However, unsure if the demo highlights the best of practices.. It starts by selecting all from a database and then uses a separate javascript module to filter by date. It would be a lot more economical to filter by date in the Query and just return what you need in the list. Or am I failing to see the need for that extra step? 🧐 I do find the views very readable and easy for me to work with. I am currently using n8n.io and I'm wondering how you differentiate yourself and why should someone use Retoll vs n8n?
Maker
Great question! The goal here was to show that you can use whatever you're most comfortable with JS or SQL. But yes I prefer SQL so would mostly just add a where clause and do it in that initial query. My understanding is that n8n is focused on being an open-source Zapier alternative that empowers business users to build automations. We build Workflows for developers and see it more as an alternative to writing cron jobs from scratch. The product really focuses on code when you need it, GUI when you don't. Would love to get your feedback on Retool vs n8n when you try it out?
thanks for the explanation! I'll definitely give it a try and talk about your launch on SaaS Addicts live stream next Monday. I like what Retool is doing and have been talking about your previous launches.

Amazing Product🎉

Thanks, let us know if you have any feedback!
It was challenging convincing the engineering team to switch to Retool for our internal dashboard, and this is just another push in the right direction. We've always had a convoluted scraping set up and this should hopefully ease the transition :-)
Maker
Thanks Viren - hopefully having everything live in the same ecosystem and avoiding tool sprawl will help make the case. Would love to partner with you to help build some of the scraping in Workflows!
Maker
Thanks ! Would love to learn more about your scraping use case?
This looks fantastic!
