Ask HN: I want to create a personal health dashboard, what should I use?
Shameless plug for Saltcorn (https://saltcorn.com), which is the simplest and open sourceiest way of creating a database web application for when you want an upgrade from Excel with proper table with fields and relationships. Data viz, pivot table plugins available.

In Defense
That was a good read - liked the balance, and agree with his description of the ideal product, which is very close to mine.
I'd add the option of commercial hosting and support to that list, which led me to Budibase - great product, although in the end I was left feeling "no code - but so many clicks!", although I have not gone back to look at v2. https://budibase.com/
The author might care to take a look at Saltcorn, which is in the "Goldilocks" zone for me - enough of everything, not too much of anything. I should write that up myself. https://saltcorn.com/

Boss left and now I need to clean up his mess. Looking for advice/venting.
This is the most important part. Otherwise you will replace an undocumented mess with another unstructured documentation mess in no time. A wiki is a great place to prototype documentation concepts, but it's hard to keep it consistent if no rules are enforced. For more structured documentation/information, tools like https://saltcorn.com/ may be even more helpful.

Ask HN: Which NoCode platforms are fine?
Saltcorn [1] is worth a look. The back-end is Postgres, so integrations are simple. It seems to work how my mind works, it's fun to use, and I don't feel limited or locked in because the data and model are in Postgres.

Ask HN: FOSS low-code/no-code platforms?
Why the snark? I see value in no-code/low-code platforms for many people—integrating with "traditional" code to fill in the lack of domain-specific features and starting a strong FOSS alternative early on is critical. I just started reading and found these two projects that seem to be trying to accomplish just that [1][2] though they seem very early. I would love to see what other insights HN has and what they think about a FOSS alternative's potential.

Prismic.io is increasing our price by *1900%* over Christmas
I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Looking for a (primarily) WYSIWYG platform to build a MySQL interface.
Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
