I tried to like what I originally saw when trying out ToolJet and loved how easy it was to setup, (docker with postgres) but encountered way too many bugs to make it usable in our organization.

The biggest one would be that I would setup a query for a component and then I would come back to it later, usually after some kind of page refresh and the query would just not appear in the editor anymore. Sometimes I'd refresh it again and it would appear again, but it was just way too flaky to be considered for any kind of commitment to building tooling with it.

And there's no chance in hell that non-technical internal would be able to build anything useful with it; but to be fair, I tried other tools and they weren't that impressive either even if they were less buggy. The entire "low code" thing just feels like hype as soon as you need to do anything non-trivial like read data from a large table with multiple joins and need to implement server-side pagination, for example. I'm just more productive writing Rails templates using basic MVC with Rails Admin.

What other tools did you try?

I tried retool, tooljet and appsmith.

Ahhh.You should try Budibase if you have time. I'm the cofounder.

It's open source and a little different than the other options you've mentioned. Below is the repo:
