Airplane Views – code-first platform for building internal UIs
Hi HN, I'm Josh, one of the founders of Airplane! Airplane Views is our take on building internal tool UIs and is the newest component of our platform (alongside Tasks and Workflows). With Views, you can build admin dashboards, product usage charts, moderation inboxes, and more with just a few React components on a page. Views pair well with Tasks (our Lambda-like functions service)—you can write Tasks to fetch a list of customers or suspend a user, and hook them up to e.g. a Table or Button: import { Button, Stack, Table } from "airplane"; const AdminPanel = () => ( Suspend ); Internal…

In plain words
Airplane Views is a code-first platform for building internal user interfaces using React components. It enables developers to create admin dashboards, usage charts, and moderation systems by writing code rather than using visual builders. Views integrates with Airplane's Tasks service, allowing developers to connect backend functions to UI elements like tables and buttons, bringing production-level rigor to internal tools.

21st.dev2025 · 21st.dev · ▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc.2022 · jetadmin.io · ▲123Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to…

I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
