Rationale
Openblocks explicitly positions itself as an 'Open Source Retool Alternative' and directly lists features that align with Retool's core offerings. It highlights a 'Visual UI builder with 50+ built-in components', 'Native connections to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, REST API, SMTP, etc.', and 'JavaScript supported everywhere to transform data, control components, etc.'. It also mentions 'Role-based access control (RBAC)' and 'Audit logs'. For deployments, it lists Docker, AWS AMI, and DigitalOcean. While it doesn't explicitly state 'one-click deployments', the listed options suggest flexible deployment capabilities. The 'DIY app themes' feature also matches 'Custom Theming & Branding'.
