Re:Show HN: Retool Mobile

We are working on custom components for Retool Mobile. With custom components, we hope to give folks the ability to paint whatever component they need on the Retool canvas but there will of course be scenarios where retool isn't the right choice. We also build escape hatches where you can write JavaScript anywhere in Retool. We like to think we can cover a very broad base, especially in the scenarios in which Retool excels today.

I applaud your efforts, and I will consider Retool for small projects (PoCs etc). If that's the niche you are aiming for, perfect.
Can you write well structured and reusuable code on retool? Can I write it in vscode, maybe even in typescript and deploy it up?
Most implementations of the "escape hatch" I've come across require scattering fragmented snippets across the project with no support for building out well structured and reusuable code.
