Airplane acquired by Airtable and is shutting down
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]

Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes
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.

How to build a Google Meet AI assistant app in 10 minutes without coding
Effective communication and efficient meeting management are key to a team's success in the modern workplace. Recognizing this, we will develop an AI-powered meeting assistant app to transform Google Meet recordings into automatically generated meeting notes with key takeaways and action items. The blog post is tailored for every creator from developers to no-coders who are interested in the intersection of AI and productivity tools. It's particularly useful for those with limited AI-development experience and who want to build AI applications by using simple low-code tools like Unbody and Appsmith.

How to Write a Great Readme
> https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith
That is more of a GitHub landing page than a readme.
> An effective README file needs to tell your audience what your project does, how to use it, and how they can help out.
The readme starts with a `a` image tag nested within a `p`.
One spot where your readme misses the mark: it can't be read outside of github (or some rendering engine). Markdown is supposed to be human readable. Instead you say "here's how app smith works" and then plop a big image. That doesn't help anybody understand what your project does by reading the readme. Images and diagrams are super helpful, but they should accompany thoughtful prose. This is also important as an accessibility consideration.
The contributors sections are dumb. Github is a better tool to use to view contributors (https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/graphs/contributors). Other projects before github would have an authors and/or contributors file. I don't care about the contributors when I'm trying to understand how your project works, it's just shameless marketing in that position.
You have a "getting started in 100 seconds" image CTA in your features section. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Overall I'd suggest focusing on improving your readme to be more useful and less of a marketing tool (it can still market its value lightly) and instead explain how the software works and how to get up and running with it.
Overall I'd score your readme 4/10.

Managing AI-powered Java App With API Management
In this tutorial, we explored the OpenAI ChatGPT API to generate responses to prompts. We created a Spring Boot application that calls the API to generate responses to prompts. Next, you can introduce additional features to your integration by updating the existing apisix.yml file. Also, you check out the branch name called with-frontend and run the project to see the UI interface built using Appsmith that works with APISIX.
