Tired of GUI builders? I made a code-first alternative to Retool
SMRTR summary
Sourcetool is an open-source project simplifying admin panel and internal tool creation for backend developers. It enables UI definition directly in backend code, bypassing separate frontend development or GUI builders. Using WebSockets, Sourcetool connects backend functions to a real-time UI, currently supporting Go with TypeScript and Python SDKs in development. This code-first approach offers benefits like Git-friendliness, type safety, and AI coding assistant compatibility, potentially outperforming traditional GUI builders in efficiency.
