I don't understand why it's only for internal applications.
If the form looks good and works, I would put it as a solution for my customers.
Maybe I would not create the whole application with Budibase, but for some screens for entering data + showing tables, yes.
What reasons do you think this is not feasible?
And as a business idea, I think that the first "no code"/"low code" that removes the "only for internal apps" will get the most developers interested. (like me)

The point that foxbee was trying stress is that Budibase is not for building SaaS products.
There is absolutely no reason why you could not give login's out to your customer - i.e. a customer portal.
It's just difficult to draw this distinction with simple terms, so sometimes we say "Internal" to try and separate from "SaaS Product". Naming is hard - we've been using the term "Business App" more often now.

I see a lot of no/low code tools as being “for internal apps”, (I think Vercel is one such) but I always wonder why exactly they are only meant for internal apps and not for building a SaaS product. Care to enlighten me?
If you are building a SaaS platform, then Budibase is not the right platform.
