I was daunted by the amount of components that goes into a basic RAG. I also ended up starting with "agentic retrieval", which I invented. And it seems that many others have invented same/similar thing. It is just so much eas

One of the fundamental problems in programming is the lack of well-defined and higher-level data types. The types that work out-of-the box similar to libraries. A big chunk of programming is about how to map real world concepts to data type

I assume you know what CRUD stands for... Just wanted to share what I am using instead of CRUD nowadays. SCRWD is what I use both in API design and the backend implementation. This is the outcome of one extremely long hobby project, and for

Hey, thanks! Definitely need to look into Excel add-ins!!

True, excellent point about the availability. But homemade sheets are often tools you built yourself for you and not tools that you can buy from a store. I see AirTable as a rich UI client that sits on top of data - btw, back in the days ri

I agree that no system should be implemented in excel, but for many it is a good match to rapidly test or model things, or to write handy tools.

Thank you for your response! I too think that Excel is a premier example of low-code success: especially if you think that who is it low-code for - business people. Many times I find technical people (me too) engaging these low-code discuss

And it just not flexibility without a reason. At least in B2B web apps, some customers always need to have something that's not in the core of the product but in order to get them on board business people push for a long tail of infreq

"Generally speaking, the golden rule of product development is to identify the problem first, then figure out what will solve it. " You got me there, but it all started as a hobby project which got out of my hands :)

Checklist - open source. This I would do my self too, but only because I am a technical person - version control. Agree, but in my case only API will be available for you to version (versions are of course in backend too) - testing. Agree a

yes, for example the aforementioned Xano. And thank you for throwing out the idea to implement leetcode problem solutions. This helps to compare expressive power of the functions against established programming languages!

"Any low-code backend builder implies there is code being written." True, in my case functions form a DSL which means abstraction. "You should consider finding business problems that need solving with no/low code solutio

Good point about supporting frontend platforms like Glide! And indeed it is quite close to what I am building: https://www.xano.com/technology/ and it seems that they are doing it with funding too "Xano has raised

How I see it is that Integration applications are different from what I understand as a backend: API+business_logic+Database

Well, integration is one aspect, and there are low-code tools like node-red etc. for those use-cases. One category of low-code tools is workflow automation tools, which maybe you are describing mostly. For me, I am interested in writing the

Thank you for mentioning Lotus Notes Domino. ChatGPT gave a lot of interesting material: especially I can see some similarities between how I use functions and how Lotus Domino Notes Formula Language was used.

The builder uses OpenAPI spec to define and implement the API. The backend aims to do what "normal" backend does: fulfills requests by executing business logic (written as functions, a form of DSL) and querying database. The very

FSMs should be "written" visually, and they should have either hierarchical sub-states or some sort of a grouping scheme to keep complexity at a reasonable level. FSM examples are usually too simplified, and they don't show h
