This looks amazing. This is something that I would probably recommend to my clients as a consultant as a tool they could use to build their own tools. Right now I tend to recommend Airtable but that has issues and deficiencies with building tools/UIs on top of it.

I guess a lot of comments here will be about low-code which probably speaks to the bias of HN but that's kind of silly since low-code is extremely powerful and pervasive in the corporate world now.

Can you explain why the emphasis is on the collaboration on tool building? The collaboration ability seems like a cool and valuable feature but it seems really confusing to make that so central to the marketing.

The tool building itself is extremely valuable and sophisticated on its own. That must have taken an enormous amount of work so I don't understand why the collaborative aspect is the main thing being highlighted.

What are your recommendations, aside from Airtable?

I've dabbled in the whole Microsoft low/no-code ecosystem, but mostly just because it was easily available. Recommendations would be appreciated.

I can highly recommend https://fibery.io. They have a comparison of Fibery vs. Airtable if you are familiar with the latter: https://fibery.io/blog/fibery-vs-airtable-we-connect-your-ba...

The only thing it's really lacking is granular (per-field/entity) access controls, which is on their roadmap (although it's worth noting it's been on their roadmap for quite a while).
