@rrhoover Hey Ryan! A few things: (1) Instead of trying to hide the nuts-and-bolts of software development, we make sure it's directly in your face -- but we generate the code for you to begin with, behind the scenes. No black boxes, everything is decomposable to code. (2) We include robust professional developer "tools of the trade" like version control, rollbacks, development environments, differentiation between development -> production buildpaths, powerful identity / auth management, and even API rate-limiting and access control. Things that everything except the most Enterprise-enabled workflow tools don't even begin to touch, but pro developers like to have control over. (3) Finally -- the future of software development is the *next* XX M software developers. We've worked our hardest to deliver a product that gives new devs (and "low coders") the tools they need to get started without alienating them *or* some of the more traditional engineers (like me, I'm one of the latter). Our insights, working with folks on the current product, is that "low-coders" aren't actually afraid to get their hands dirty with a little code from time to time -- in fact, many of them want to learn! It unlocks exciting career paths. I learned to code as a kid by copy and pasting code examples. We want this product to be able to provide that, where applicable, for anybody looking to dig in a little deeper to software development. Also -- we hope you like the docs, which can answer more questions! https://docs.stdlib.com/overview...

Thanks Chris! 😊We're grateful to have your support.

@laurent_malka any APIs you’d like to see in particular?

@lucas_p Thanks for asking! We provide the ability to: - Read from / write to Airtable, easily (our DB of choice) https://stdlib.com/@airtable/lib... - Read from / write to Google Sheets as if it were a Database https://stdlib.com/@googlesheets... - A fast and simple key-value store, maintained by us https://stdlib.com/@utils/lib/kv Hope that helps! :)

@_schickling Thanks Johannes :). And thanks for being supportive / thoughtful all these years! We hope your team at Prisma has the opportunity to enjoy the new product as well. (I kept this one hidden from a lot of people while we worked out the kinks!)

@joshdavey ☝ this guy gave me my first real job in software, ever. Thanks, Josh. Would love to help your team get started with some simple automations!

@kevinyun Sure! E-mail me — first name at stdlib.com. We’ll be working with product champions to help deliver an even better experience. Would love to get you in the program.

@lucakiedrowski thank you!

Ooh -- we'll need to add the Twilio API for that one. Don't worry, it's pretty much ready! We'll be rolling *a ton* more connector APIs out this summer. Maybe @jeffiel will see this and throw in his hat for support. ;)

Any connector APIs you'd like to see, specifically? :) We're taking requests!

@almostthere Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the new product as well.
