web VS budibase

i have around 5+ years of experience in web development. starting from angular js 1 to react-native, react & along with typescript. Well aware of most of the modern web tools, esbuild, react-query, swc, rollup, vite, https://modern-web.dev/, testing-library , etc..

In a future release, Angular will replace Karma with the web-test-runner from ModernWeb. That future release might already be Angular 17. ModernWeb is a modern community project that embeds tests into a browser.

So, you write web components and you're interested in expanding the work you put into unit testing them? Well, you've come to the right place. This is just the beginning, but Testing Web Components: the Series is going to lay out for you how Open Web Components and Modern Web help you to do just that. We'll start with how the Open Web Components generator can get you up and running in no time with @web/test/runner right out of the box.

Rocket is an SSG that allows seamless integration of Markdown and WebComponents. There is a project to support the development of web standard technologies called Modern Web, and rocket is a subproject of that project. Other sub-projects are test runner and development server, modern-web for development server, and open-wc for WebComponents development, testing, and linter.

Just setting up a front end dev environment is a lesson in complexity theory

FWIW, because I've been out of web dev for a while and may need to get back into it, I came across this site today:

https://modern-web.dev/

I followed their example ts+preact+esbuild setup and was very pleasantly surprised by the ergonomics.

I was expecting way worse.

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.

Budibase is open-source, including the workflow platform which has helped accelerate thousands of workflows already:
