| This feels like really bittersweet news - congrats to the Airplane team on the acquisition but it’s sad to see a great tool disappear. When we started Zipper.dev, we were really inspired by Airplane’s vision of making it possible to build useful software without a bunch of boilerplate and custom set up. We’re still optimistic that there’s going to be more innovation in this space. If you’re an Airplane user or someone who’s interested in the idea of making web apps and integrations between tools really simple to build, please hit us up - we’d love to chat (hello@zipper.dev / @zipperdev). Here’s a bit more about what we’re doing at zipper.dev: * We allow you to write and run Typescript functions without leaving your browser * There’s a built-in frontend framework so all you need to do is output JSON and you’ll have an interactive UI * Every Zipper app has a key-value store, a scheduler, secrets, and more * Connectors for most databases (Postgres, MySQL, and Mongo) and other SaaS tools like Slack, Discord, Notion, GitHub, OpenAI, and more * Import from NPM, esm.sh, deno.land and even other Zipper apps We’re in a free open beta and looking for feedback, all you need is a GitHub account to sign up. |
