In plain words

This is an open-source internal tool builder launched in 2021. It provides an alternative to commercial platforms like Retool and Internal.io for creating business applications without extensive coding. The tool is designed for developers and technical teams who need to quickly build dashboards, forms, and admin panels. Being open-source and available on GitHub, it allows users to self-host, customize, and contribute to the codebase rather than relying on proprietary software.
