Refine

Refine is an open-source React meta-framework for building data-intensive enterprise applications such as internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and B2B apps. It provides a headless solution with core hooks and components for authentication, access control, routing, networking, and state management. Refine integrates with various backend services and UI frameworks, offering flexibility for developers to create highly customizable applications.

Refine is a React meta-framework specifically designed for building CRUD-heavy web applications like internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and B2B apps. It explicitly mentions out-of-the-box connectors for 15+ backend services (API & Database Integrations), headless architecture allowing integration with any custom designs or UI frameworks (Drag-and-Drop UI Builder, Custom Theming & Branding), and core hooks for authentication and access control (Access Control & Security). It also supports SSR with Next.js & Remix for flexible deployments, and mentions Refine Devtools for insights (Debugging & Monitoring). The platform also highlights audit logs, workflow automation through its nature as a framework for building applications, and the ability to build customer-facing applications like storefronts (Partner & Customer Portals). The mention of 'Refine AI landing page' and 'AI-powered developer platform' suggests AI capabilities. While it doesn't have a drag-and-drop UI builder in the same sense as Retool, its headless nature and support for various UI frameworks allow for visual construction of UIs.
