Congrats @alexarena and team for launching 1.0! Been following this team for a while and really excited to see their launch. Curious how would you say this is different than retool? Also can you share more on where does the code actually run?
Thanks! On the differences between Retool: the output (customer support tools, admin dashboards, etc.) is pretty similar between both products, but _how_ those tools are built is really different.
Something like Retool gives you a drag-and-drop UI builder, Interval is made for backend devs and lets you create UIs directly in your backend code. So you don’t need to learn another drag-and-drop tool or frontend framework.
Re: where the code actually runs… this is another really cool component of Interval. We host the UI for you on interval.com but the actual backend code (including everything sensitive like your environment variables, business logic, etc.) runs on your infra and Interval can’t see it by design.
