  • mathesar

    Web application providing an intuitive user experience to databases.

  • We're building a similar tool that's self-hosted only (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar).

    I'm glad there are more tools to make working with data easier, but I don't use any of them because putting my data into a proprietary service I have to keep paying for is a dealbreaker.

  • appsmith

    Platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Integrates with 25+ databases and any API.

  • Appsmith was recommended last year.

  • Pluto.jl

    🎈 Simple reactive notebooks for Julia

  • Another direction here is reactive notebooks where when you change one field in the notebook all of the dependent fields are automatically updated. Pluto.jl for example [1]. It has the feeling of a cross between a Jupyter notebook and a spreadsheet without looking like a spreadsheet.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
