Honestly, what blew me away was the speed. I'm using it for the first time and I managed to build a functional tool in just one afternoon, something I thought would take me at least a few days. Connecting it to my database was surprisingly easy, it just worked. I love that even though it's so simple to start, I can still write my own code if I ever need to do something more specific. I can already see how much time this is going to save me.

For creating mvp visualizations it is very good. It works great with integrations to different applications.

Retool is honestly one of the best tools I’ve worked with in the last few years. It’s crazy how easy it is to build powerful internal apps or middleware without getting lost in boilerplate code or endless setup. A few years ago, building what I can now do with Retool would’ve taken a full team, but now I can do it all myself in a fraction of the time. The UI is intuitive, connecting to APIs or databases is fast, and scripting logic into your tools is quick. I’ve used it to automate tasks, build dashboards, and link systems together that didn’t talk before, and it just works very very well. If you’re looking to move fast and flexible, and enjoy building tools, give Retool a try: it’s a productivity boost I didn’t know I needed. AAA+ for me.
