Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of Budibase, and we're super excited ... and nervous... to be posting Budibase 2.0 on HN. We launched Budibase 1.0 to HN around a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29242466.
Basically, Budibase is an open source GUI that allows you to connect to your database/APIs and build internal tools over the top of your data using prebuilt components (buttons, dropdowns, tables, etc.). It also comes with an automations section for managing logic and automating simple processes (email notifications for example).
Since last year, we've been working hard, talking to users, writing code and improving design. We discovered that Budibase is great for building simple CRUD apps and forms. But, we also found that when the apps reached a certain complexity, a little code was required. Users wanted more flexibility and when talking to our community, this was evident: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/discussions/5518

- add your own custom components
- add your own custom datasources
- user groups
- a new Budibase university
