antiframework VS budibase

I'm not a professional software developer, it's just my hobby.

Story is, I wanted to make some simple website project using Java, so I had to use some sort of web framework since I've read that CGI should not be used for medium sized project (like very simple social network, or whatever stores and handles data server-side). All the web frameworks I tested for Java (Javalin, Spring, something else I dont remember name of) used Maven, which I'm not familiar with. Why not create my own web framework then? Insert xkcd 927 With knowledge about HTTP protocol, I started making simple framework which uses sockets and regex for request handling, and allows developer to create simple endpoints. Main point is simplicity. It doesn't need any dependencies, just compile it to JAR, import to Your project, and that's it. Project itself is faaaaaaar from perfection, however it works as far as I tested it, and I think young/beginner developers would find it fun and easy to use in private projects.

Framework is in very early development stage, many things might change.

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.
