Thanks :). On-prem is on the roadmap and will be shipped soon! Since we hear that quite a bit: The on-prem requirement is pretty clear, but what would be your key motivator for wanting open-source?
Hey! Dom, Co-founder at Uify here. We did not reinvent the wheel when it comes to the WYSIWYG editor and use of JS anywhere, that’s true (although there are a bunch of developer experience and performance improvements). As mentioned above, our focus is on the creation of collaborative spaces for teams, tailored to their job to be done. The way our early customers are using the product is fundamentally different from what can be done with Retool & co.
Point taken - the messaging needs improvement :). Nevertheless, you got it right. Our app builder is real-time collaborative, so you can build together with other engineers, or even product managers. More importantly, apps built with Uify are deployed to a unified workspace and have real-time collaborative functionality out of the box (i.e. we do all the heavy lifting of dealing with shared data types and state sync on the transport layer). I hope this clarifies your questions - happy to elaborate further on any of these points if you are interested :)
Hi shaqbert! I agree with you. We believe in two fundamental trends. First, most software built for internal use are “low-complexity” use cases (dashboards, workflow management/automation,…) where low-code platforms are often a great choice. Second, the next generation of software needs to be built for true multiplayer use - making teams more productive, especially when not always co-located. Our ambition is to make building real-time collaborative tools fast and easy.
Hey longrod! Dom, Co-founder at Uify here. Thanks a lot for your input - Appsmith is a solid product, and successful for good reason. While we share a base set of functionality for app building (visual editor, datasource integrations, “JS anywhere”), our vision is fundamentally different. The goal is not to enable the user to build a set of stand-alone internal tools, but rather to create flexible, collaborative workspaces for their teams. Our product is focused on collaboration across these apps (e.g. think: GSheet experience in tables), workflow automations and a modern approach to developer experience (TS instead of JS, testing framework built-in, more powerful IDE with usage tracking etc.). We will reach our milestone of launching publicly soon, and I hope you will give it a try and see for yourself :)
Thanks Terretta! Dom, Co-founder at Uify here. I fully agree that the available ecosystem of identity providers is diverse, and that the user should not be limited to a single one, or a small subset. We have multiple authentication methods on our roadmap, and hope we can release those in the near future.
