It has built-in data provider support for popular backend services like REST API, GraphQL, NestJs CRUD, Airtable, Strapi v4, GraphQL, Supabase, Hasura, Nhost, Appwrite, Firebase, Directus etc.
It's not a drag and drop, headless by default but also supports Material UI, AntDesign, Chakra UI, and Mantine.

Hey ToolJet crew - it's not lost on the rest of us that you're apparently gang-downvoting similar projects here (as I write this, illa-builder and refine are both downvoted well into the gray on this page). Here on HN, it's not uncommon to see founders of competing projects/companies engaged in deeply thoughtful, respectful conversations with each other.
Open source projects are heavily about community. The gang down-voting of other projects in the space seems to say a lot about approach to community, and certainly says nothing good about ToolJet or its community.

This is not true as I can confirm that none of ToolJet’s team members including myself do not have ability to downvote on HN. Looks like it requires certain karma threshold.
We are running an open source React framework for building CRUD apps alternative for Retool and other similar tools.

You can compare with Retool, AdminBro and other similar tools https://refine.dev/docs/comparison/
