I really hope Notion Calendar will build the "schedule todo" feature for its Calendar. That's the primary reason I used Amie.

Hi semireg, Zebra integration is a new feature we recently launched, and it means deploying Retool Mobile apps on Zebra devices (zebra.com), and utilizes Zebra's native scanners. We are still working on the documentation for it and it doesn't show up on the docs yet. If you're interested, happy to discuss with you more.

We are working on custom components for Retool Mobile. With custom components, we hope to give folks the ability to paint whatever component they need on the Retool canvas but there will of course be scenarios where retool isn't the right choice. We also build escape hatches where you can write JavaScript anywhere in Retool. We like to think we can cover a very broad base, especially in the scenarios in which Retool excels today.

Thanks for catching! This is a legit issue with our list view and we are looking into a fix at the moment :)

Retool Mobile is built on top of React Native. We build a higher level of abstraction so you can build the UI / running queries much easier than building it from scratch, and still give you the option to write code and customize everything similar to building an app in React Native.

Totally agree that developing in many no-code tools is frustrating since you can’t use the development workflows you’re used to in your own IDE. Retool Mobile was built as an alternative to react native that makes it easy for developers that know some JS/SQL to build native apps.

We focused a lot on development workflows like staging environments, versioning with Git, debug tools, monitoring with Datadog, etc. There are a few development workflows we can make even better because we own the run-time. For example with Mobile when you’re shipping a new update you can test on a staging environment, test the app directly on a device (vs emulators) and inspect issues with debug tools. Then when you’re ready you can push it live OTA so everyone is on the latest version.

Are there other development workflows that would be helpful for you? We’re investing a lot more here and would love any ideas
