Ask HN: Open-Source Self-Hosted No-Code Platforms?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Metabase

    The simplest, fastest way to get business intelligence and analytics to everyone in your company :yum:

    The solution really depends on what sort of problems you are trying to solve and who your customers are.

    There are a fair few low-code solutions out there for reporting and data visualisation that are great for finance and marketing teams for example. e.g. https://metabase.com/ , https://evidence.dev/

    For multipurpose SMB workflows and organisational processes, I have used n8n in the recent past and found it was quite good and incredibly easy to maintain. https://n8n.io/engineering-resources/

    For enterprise processes I'd go with Camunda (solely based on recommendations and not first hand experience). Although only parts of their platform are OSS https://github.com/camunda

    Bear in mind that some of these are not suitable if you want to build something that competes with them while taking their OSS code. But are perfectly fine otherwise.

  • evidence

    Business intelligence as code: build fast, interactive data visualizations in pure SQL and markdown

  • InfluxDB

  • mathesar

    Web application providing an intuitive user experience to databases.

    We just released the alpha version of Mathesar (https://mathesar.org/) a couple of months ago. I'm not sure we're a "no code platform" yet, but we're in the same space.
