Cool! Can you share who you (or the PMs involved) saw as the main competition for App Maker?

Disclosure: I worked at a competitor that targets Enterprises, and we were a bit anxious when App Maker came out. Never saw much results in the market though.

Google bought AppSheet (mentioned in the announcement). Also, Retool (YC alum).

At the time I thought Microsoft LightSwitch would be the biggest competitor. Oops :)

Oops indeed ;) Did you pay any attention to what Outsystems, Mendix, Appian, MS Power Apps etc were doing?
