Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I'm really enjoying reading through the docs and the tutorial. We've created Lowdefy, a config web-stack which makes it really simple to build quite advanced web apps. We're writing everything in YAML, but it has it's limitations, specifically when doing config type checking and IDE extensions that go beyond just YAML.
I've been looking for a way to have typed objects in the config to do config suggestions and type checking.. PKL looks like it can do this for us. And with the JSON output we might even be able to get there with minimal effort.
Is there anyone here with some PKL experience that would be willing to answer some technical questions re the use of PKL for more advanced, nested config?

Show HN: Retool AI
Awsome! With Lowdefy we tried to build a low-code framework that works like code. We’ve developed a schema in which to define applications and we’ve built all kinds of apps for enterprise customers. Massive, advanced CRM systems, call centre solutions, ticketing systems, a light MRP, all kinds of survey apps and so many dashboards. Even our docs and our website are Lowdefy apps!
Give Lowdefy a try and reach out it you have any questions or want to see what is possible :) (We need to invest a lot more into content and examples, bootstapping is a grind!)

The Surprising Power of Documentation
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.
We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.
This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.

Show HN: ToolJet 1.2 OSS Retool alternative with realtime multiplayer editing
I’m also going to jump in here and say try Lowdefy https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy - co-founder here.
We take a different angle and believe that low code should still work like code. We focus on a developer first approach.

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.

NoCode Newbie: Restaurant hoping to consolidate and reduce overhead
And if you don't need a mobile app and can get by with web only, check out Appsmith. It's open-source, can connect to Google Sheets, Airtable, and any API or database, and is free for unlimited users and apps. Feel free to DM me if you need a hand getting started with either one. I'm Joseph from the Appsmith Developer Relations team, and GreenFlux on the AppSheet forums.

Git in Appsmith: Every Developer Has Been Saved by Git — So, Why Isn’t it a Feature of App Platforms?
This wasn't an easy journey. While this functionality was in high demand, early versions were frustrating to use. In our earliest implementations, it wasn't even possible to pinpoint where the conflicts were in a file. Even members of the Appsmith development team would avoid using our early Git implementations. We even had a rule for our internal “Hackathons” that using the Git feature was banned because it kept breaking! So we know why other app platforms had avoided fully implementing Git: it really was a challenge to get it working right.
