I really hope Notion Calendar will build the "schedule todo" feature for its Calendar. That's the primary reason I used Amie.

Hi semireg, Zebra integration is a new feature we recently launched, and it means deploying Retool Mobile apps on Zebra devices (zebra.com), and utilizes Zebra's native scanners. We are still working on the documentation for it and it doesn't show up on the docs yet. If you're interested, happy to discuss with you more.

We are working on custom components for Retool Mobile. With custom components, we hope to give folks the ability to paint whatever component they need on the Retool canvas but there will of course be scenarios where retool isn't the right choice. We also build escape hatches where you can write JavaScript anywhere in Retool. We like to think we can cover a very broad base, especially in the scenarios in which Retool excels today.

Can you write well structured and reusuable code on retool? Can I write it in vscode, maybe even in typescript and deploy it up?

Most implementations of the "escape hatch" I've come across require scattering fragmented snippets across the project with no support for building out well structured and reusuable code.

I have to second this. Sandbox.io recently added VSCode integration (real-time sync with the code in the sandbox, which is now hosted in a micro VM), and this is a really good experience.

I applaud your efforts, and I will consider Retool for small projects (PoCs etc). If that's the niche you are aiming for, perfect.

Thanks for catching! This is a legit issue with our list view and we are looking into a fix at the moment :)

Retool Mobile is built on top of React Native. We build a higher level of abstraction so you can build the UI / running queries much easier than building it from scratch, and still give you the option to write code and customize everything similar to building an app in React Native.

So what you're saying is that despite saying in your ad copy that you ship "native" apps, you ship the utter piece of crap that is React Native, and users will be faced with lists that stutter the moment there's more than twenty items in it because RecyclerViews are too complicated of a concept for RN.

Thanks for guaranteeing me consulting work on rewriting those apps in the near future I guess ?

Excited to have you try it out!

Hi there, Sean from the Retool Mobile team. This is the link to the docs https://docs.retool.com/docs/retool-mobile

That's really helpful thanks! Why do some versions of Android use an old node.js?

Hi there! I'm Sean the PM at Retool Mobile team and we are working on fixing this issue ASAP. In the meantime, please try this Youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnTxGTioOIA

Feel free to contact me at sean@retool.com if you have any questions.

The video is fixed now

Thank you

Totally agree that developing in many no-code tools is frustrating since you can’t use the development workflows you’re used to in your own IDE. Retool Mobile was built as an alternative to react native that makes it easy for developers that know some JS/SQL to build native apps.

We focused a lot on development workflows like staging environments, versioning with Git, debug tools, monitoring with Datadog, etc. There are a few development workflows we can make even better because we own the run-time. For example with Mobile when you’re shipping a new update you can test on a staging environment, test the app directly on a device (vs emulators) and inspect issues with debug tools. Then when you’re ready you can push it live OTA so everyone is on the latest version.

Are there other development workflows that would be helpful for you? We’re investing a lot more here and would love any ideas

Congrats!
