Congrats on the new releases!

We are running an open source React framework for building CRUD apps alternative for Retool and other similar tools.

Repo: https://github.com/refinedev/refine

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.

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

Looks Good! We are building a similar project here! Check out ours as well here:https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder

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.
