Rationale

Sourcetool, hosted on GitHub, is an open-source internal tool builder that aligns with the core concept of Retool by enabling developers to build internal applications. It emphasizes a 'backend-first' approach, where the UI is automatically handled, allowing focus on business logic in backend code (Go). This directly matches the 'Code Customization' feature. The platform's ability to connect to databases and APIs for data fetching (as shown in the code example) aligns with 'API & Database Integrations'. While it doesn't explicitly mention a drag-and-drop UI builder, it states 'No frontend skills required' and 'handles frontend complexities automatically', implying a simplified UI creation process, though not necessarily visual drag-and-drop. The deployment options (Docker, self-hosted) align with 'Flexible Deployments'. GitHub itself, where Sourcetool is hosted, provides robust 'Access Control & Security', 'Version Control Integration', 'Debugging & Monitoring' (via Actions and insights), 'Audit Logs & Analytics', and 'Workflow Automation' (via Actions). The mention of 'AI-native' and 'AI-assisted development workflows' aligns with 'AI-Generated App Assistant'.
