Openblocks
github.com
Openblocks is an open-source low-code platform designed for building internal and customer-facing applications. It provides a visual UI builder with pre-built components, extensive data source and API integrations, and supports custom JavaScript for logic. The platform emphasizes flexibility, reusability, and offers features like role-based access control and audit logs.
Rationale
Openblocks positions itself as an open-source alternative to Retool, directly aligning with the core concept of building internal tools with low-code capabilities. The website explicitly lists features such as a 'Visual UI builder with 50+ built-in components' (drag-drop-ui-builder, prebuilt-react-components), 'Native connections to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, REST API, SMTP, etc.' (api-database-integrations), 'JavaScript supported everywhere' (code-customization), 'Role-based access control (RBAC)' (access-control-security), 'Auto-saved and restorable history for release and version control' (version-control-integration), 'DIY app themes' (custom-theming-branding), and 'Audit logs' (audit-logs-analytics). The 'Module and Query Library' and the ability to 'orchestrate other queries' with JS queries also suggest workflow automation capabilities. Deployment options like Docker, AWS AMI, and DigitalOcean indicate flexible deployments.
