Hey guys, I work at Budibase, and have recently been reviewing the custom component and datasource submissions. Feel free to reach out on discord if you need any help! Mel
Joe Johnston
@mel_o_hagan Mel's your contact for everything custom components and data integrations!
Nurzhan Berkimbayev
The best tool on planet to build other tools! Much better than Appsmith, Retool, and Bubble. Great work!
Joe Johnston
@berkimbayev Thanks for the direct praise. It's great to hear you're enjoying Budibase.
Cam Pak
@berkimbayev cool! What's your experience with Retool, as I've been having my eyes on it lately. Budibase looks amazing.
Abhishek Singh
Congrats on the launch. The interface looks great. We use retool extensively within our team. What would you guys say are the things that would make it worthwhile for us to switch? Regardless, I'm personally going to give it a try.
Joe Johnston
@abhishek1846 There are a number of reasons, but the main ones are: - budibase is a lot easier and coding is optional - budibase has its own automation section - budibase can generate fully-working crud apps from your data - budibase is open source!
Abhishek Singh
@joe_johnston1 Thanks for the response. Developers would really appreciate the open source aspect. Point 3 and 4 seems very interesting for the general team.
Joe Johnston
@abhishek1846 we also have a public api that you can use for interoperability/extensibility - for example you could use budibase's db with next js.
Martin McKeaveney
@abhishek1846 I'll add that budibase is lightweight and build for performance from the ground up. You'll see a considerable difference in performance between the apps budibase produces and other apps.
Giacomo Uberti
Step into @budibase a few weeks later the launch of the 1.0 release and just got the right tool at the right time! I have been using it on a project for almost 6 months and I can say it helped me reach an actual functioning prototype in no time. I could share each step with the stakeholders and refine it in an iterative process saving hours and money in developing the internal tool we needed!
Joe Johnston
@budibase @udeisconsulting Ohhh this is awesome. You're almost a Budibase OG. Your feedback is spot on and exactly why we created Budibase - the development process use to be so long and one-sided - now all stackholders can get involved quicker. Thank you for taking the time to support us!
Mike Shanks
@udeisconsulting That's so nice to hear Giacomo - real users solving real-world problems!
kyle harrison
It's awesome to see how quickly Budibase has grown. Nice work folks ๐Ÿ‘
Joe Johnston
@apoclyps Thanks Kyle. You've been around since the beginning and always a huge supporter - hugely appreciated!
Abell Vo โŒ˜
Amazing product!! Congratulation on the launch ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป
Joe Johnston
@abell_vo Thanks for the kind words. We've spent what feels like a lifetime building 2.0 and we're super pleased with how it's turned out.
Joe Johnston
@abell_vo Cheers! This is only the beginning!
Pinar Engur
Great! Congrats on the launch!
Joe Johnston
@pinar_engur Thank you! It's a huge day for us and thanks for the support!

Hi Budibase team, just wanted to drop a quick thank you! I've been using Budibase a lot recently, for all these "this should be an app, but it doesn't warrant the effort of building one completely from scratch" kind of scenarios. Really appreciate you keeping things open source at the core even as monetization becomes more of a focus. The one thing that would make me even happier is support for Umlauts in app names for us pesky Germans (using app names such as "Vertrรคge" currently throws an "App name must be letters, numbers and spaces only" error).
Joe Johnston
@mutedjam Thanks Tom. Your praise and feedback means a lot. Supporting other languages is a must for us, as one of our core values is accessibility. I'm going to share your feedback with the team today. Thanks!

We've tried lots of #nocode tools and Budibase is by far the most bang for the buck! Its open source and hackable and can be integrated with other tools to fill the gaps. The current version fills many of the earlier issues and the flexibility introduced by the design choices of the dev team make it a great choice particularly for building business apps.
Joe Johnston
@n0c0de1 you've genuinely been a huge support from the start, and I wholeheartedly mean this when I say, thank you. You're a true ambassador for the no-code movement.
Tony Ennis
Budibase was already super powerful - with these new additions there's going to be very little that *can't* be built in Budibase. Love it
Joe Johnston
@tonyennis Thank you Tony. The only way is up... :-)
Andrew Poesaste
Congratulations on the launch team. I love Budibase. The easiest way to build full apps!
Joe Johnston
@poetential Thanks Andrew - it really is in our very biased opinion!
Chwaki Allan
Congratulations on the launch.
Joe Johnston
@chwaki_allan Cheers! It's turning out to be an exciting day. My heart rate is is off the charts!

I've been following Budibase since the beginning and so it's great to see v2 launched and rocking it. When you consider the price of the competition, Budibase's pricing is very fair and workable especially for smaller teams and/or usage. Couple that with the Open Source version, it's hard not to consider adding Budibase to your NoCode toolbelt. It looks like I'll be spinning up a Digital Ocean droplet to install v2 and to dive deeper. Congrats @joe_johnston1 โ€” let's get you to #1
Joe Johnston
@theflowagency Thank you @theflowagency . We've worked hard on our pricing. It's been a while since i used DO, but a lot of users love it and it's a great, simple option for Budibase. Straight to the top, #1 !!!!
Rahul Nair
Hey! Great launch! Congrats team! I love the idea and seems useful.
Joe Johnston
@rahul_nair93 cheers! Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

@laura_pamela thanks! We love it!
Roy Jacobs
This looks super interesting, I'm curious to see how you will tackle the needs of users that are just stuck at that divide between no-code and, well, 'code'.
Joe Johnston
@royjacobs this is the biggest task we face. We actually call is Joe-code internally. I'm not a developer, so I can use it, others should be able to.
Mike Shanks
@royjacobs We live by 2 mantras: 1. Simple by default. Anyone can build apps with a nocode experience 2. Best-in-class extensibility. It's a joy to build plugins against, when you need full code Thank you!

This is crazy!! Congratulations on the launch guys!!
