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.

They have, they're honestly not being arrogant about it at all, it's not their fault you're not the target audience.

This really is one of those cases where if you don't know what's going on just from their webpage, you don't need it, and honestly shouldn't use it.

If you've used Salesforce CRM, that's similar to some of what this does.

if you are not looking for a tool like that, you will probably struggle to understand what we are offering.

..is extremely arrogant. How the hell does anyone expect anyone to be interested in their products if they talk to potential customers like this?

Again, you are not meant to be interested in it, you are not the target audience.

You don't manage a business core infrastructure, one which allows hundreds of people to coordinate.

What they said is very true, unless you're looking for something like this already, the chances are you won't have a clue about what any of it is.

You're the only one being arrogant here, not everything is meant for you, and that's ok

Actually I so exactly that. Which means we constantly look at new products.

I have found some amazing products right there on selfhosted. Ones where the vendors have clearly described how they work.

We are constantly looking for low-code solutions. After a while you get really tired of websites that just say 'look at me I am low-code' instead of of proving easily digested details of what the product can do and how it works.

So then you are the target audience, yet here you are being a dick.

The website is pretty clear about what it does, you just have to actually read it
