Rationale
Appsmith is a strong match for Retool's concept. It explicitly states it's an 'Open-Source Low-Code Application Platform' for building custom software and internal tools. It offers core features like connecting to databases and APIs, drag-and-drop UI building, and extensive code customization with JavaScript. The platform also emphasizes enterprise-grade security with SSO, RBAC, and various deployment options including self-hosting and cloud. Many 'other' features like version control (Git), audit logs, workflows, AI assistance, and custom branding are also clearly mentioned.
