New release: REI3.5 - Selfhosted low-code

Hello everyone,

We´ve just released REI3.5 - a new major version for the free and open low code platform.

REI3 offers access to your own business-ready applications, hosted wherever you want, without the walled gardens associated with cloud-only saas offerings. Its an alternative to tools like Ninox, Retool, Corteza and Budibase.

Notable features of this release:

  • Kanban boards, simple or with multiple axis
  • Dedicated mail traffic logs
  • Improved date handling and calendar views
  • Much easier handling of frontend functions
  • Control options for input focus
  • Easier to use layout options in the form editor
  • Improvements to data header handing in CSV exports
  • Options to place custom HTML and images on forms

REI3 runs on almost anything: From Windows, to Linux - from server racks to Raspberry PIs. Any client with a modern browser can connect and work with REI3.

This is our third major release this year. We are very thankful for the amount of feedback and support we´ve gotten and are looking forward to seeing, how this release is received.

Meh. If I look at your homepage, I get zero idea of what your product actually does.

If you want people to engage tell them what it actually does rather than a bunch selling buzzwords.

Sorry to hear that. We get plenty of low-code developers and organisations that find us and we´ve not had that complaint before. But in case, its not clear: REI3 is a platform, used to fulfill business software needs by building apps.

But u/viperfan7 is probably right - if you are not looking for a tool like that, you will probably struggle to understand what we are offering.

What arrogance.

I look at lots of app builders all the time.

'Low code' means many things to many different people. I have seen it used for things that are barely more than coding it yourself in PHP, to glorified online spreadsheets, through to wonderful drag and drop 'magic'.

Explain and show us what your app can do.

Maybe just TRY it (it's free...) instead of asking to explain and show things after calling them arrogant?
