Great work! Some questions:

1. How would you compare Stacker to Retool?

2. Would the data from Stripe/Intercom appear as just another sheet/table?

3. One thing I learned that, despite the promises of no code solution, a non-technical user would still not use them, because they lack the know-how to model their domain knowledge in a no code tool. Have you run into these users? How would you work with them?

Thanks!

1. Retool targets developers who want to build internal tools faster. Stacker is for business users who aren’t technical. The output might be similar but the audience is different.

2. Yes so the third party SaaS data we are bringing in will appear just like the data from your spreadsheet.

3. We’ve definitely found these users and the vast majority of our customers aren’t technical. We’ve simplified the creation of an app so once you finish onboarding you have a working app, from there it is tweaks to make it the app you need. This makes the process much more approachable for non technical users.
