Congrats! Cool project! I’d been curious about whether GPT would be good for this task. Looks like this answers it! Why did you choose markdown? Did you try other output formats and see if you get better results? Also, I wonder how HMTL per

No. At the moment all apps work on top of our internal framework. However, you can reuse your existing Python code/libraries. For instance, you could call existing Django models from Dropbase apps. You can also import any PyPI package.

I like your take on that! I hadn't thought about it that way before but "Writing two files to build a webapp" indeed sounds quite intriguing. And we could extend that idea to "...and deploy it with 1 click" or some

Thank you! I read your blog post and checked out your project! If I understood it correctly, you’re trying to build a software engineering team in a box. Basically from first issue, to code, to live apps. Very interesting approach adding th

Interesting approach to just do json instead of protobuf!

Can you provide examples of 2 services that interact with one another? Do the services call each other, or do clients call a service that then calls another service?

Co-founder of Dropbase here. We're a better fit for you given your comments about Django and being in the same repo. We are an internal tools builder that works with your existing Python codebase, in the same repo as your core app. You

This is awesome!!! I'm really impressed with the demo. In particular, with how fast it seems to work given the number of models you use, the client-server back and forth, and the required processing and text gen. How did you do that? A

Cofounder @ Dropbase (dropbase.io) here. If you just need to build internal tools with Python or want to build internal tools on top of your existing Python codebase, give us a try. We have granular permission built-in so you can share inte

Is your cron running locally or do you have it set up on a server?

Woa! That's quite a bit. What do you use for your static site generator? Or is a custom tool you built for yourself? Curious, how do you organize or keep track of all your scripts? I assume you have them easily accessible so you can tr

How do you usually trigger scripts? Do you do it via Ansible or manually via terminal?

Streamlit is a great. Despite the fact that we are both Python-focused, the use cases for the two products are mostly different at the moment. When it comes to triggering tasks/actions, updating databases, processing data, and talking

It has actual source for the worker. We aren't worried about it being leaked because we are not particularly trying to hide it in the first place. We will probably make source available to paying customers on request if they want to ve

That's an interesting use case. Thanks for sharing. I think I understand your point better after reading this. I agree that having to pay xx$ indefinitely for presumably many end users who will only fill up the form once (or very rarel

Lol not sure if your comment was meant as a joke, but wanted to clarify in any case to clear up any misunderstanding: We don't exfiltrate your sensitive corporate data. The self-hosted client talks to the self-hosted worker, the latter

Looks like Airtable. Also no-code, like Budibase above.

by jimmyechan 3y ago
I wouldn't. Budibase looks like a no-code tool and we are code-centric. I saw in your profile that you are the cofounder of Budibase - perhaps you can confirm my understanding.

Looks interesting! I'll check it out. We don't currently focus on chat apps and don't have a chat component yet so it'd be significantly harder to do this.

Ha! What a pivot that would have been! And the story behind it!
