Easy to scale our SQL needs securely
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility - I can make anything and everything look and work exactly how I need it to.
Support - On the ball, very helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
I am not an SQL expert, or a web designer. So for me there was a little bit of a learning curve. But it was not hard to figure out once I dug in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Superblocks gives our staff the ability to perform SQL queries that have been pre built for them. The users can know nothing about SQL and still get the data they need from the peramaters they provide.
Super speed for MVPs
What do you like best about the product?
Why lost in translation writing code just to try a new feature or make a small MVP? I found in Superblocks an amazing tool to put in real what happend in my mind. Easy, toons of tools and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was thinking something about the learning curve, but remember when tried other no code tools..no dislikes for Superblocks at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed, to try ASAP before MVPs
Great experience using the tool provided
What do you like best about the product?
Support and easy to use guides to run from scratch
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very useful for current purposes used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to build easy to use business internal applications
Best tool for building internal tools!
What do you like best about the product?
If you're a company aiming to supercharge your internal tool development, look no further than Superblocks. As a front-end developer tasked with improving our internal processes, integrating Superblocks into our workflow has been an absolute game-changer.
It's really easy to use and implement to our backend apis. And there are a lot of integration selections.
Whenever I have a question, their customer support helps immediately.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's kinda hard to implement our dream designs into the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating quick Minimum viable products is the most benefiting part of Superblocks in our company. It really makes the process 3x faster
Simple intuitive interface with extensive capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks gives us the agility to quickly create applications that remove the mundane repetitive creation actions, but still leave us with extensive coding and manipulation options. We've created many apps with Superblocks, each of which works with varied data sets. Having the ability to drag and drop a UI, with the ability to extensively manipulate data (specifically with Python) was something we couldn't find elsewhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the builtin IDE used for coding can be a little noisy with code suggestions. It requires me to hit escape more often than I would like to, but it's a small issue to have to deal with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Custom interfaces for advanced data manipulations across many domains of data types.
Empowering us to focus on what matters
What do you like best about the product?
A couple years ago, I first was implementing retool to help with internal tooling, but it was prohibitively expensive for the size of the company at the time. We then rolled our own react app, but building on top of it was so time consuming and boilerplate. Not just from a UI building perspective, but also the amount of custom APIs we had to build just to do simple queries. Then Superblocks came along.
We constantly need new tools, dashboards, and scheduled jobs - any of which can be prototyped in an afternoon immediately after having an idea. The free limits to explore all of this is incredibly generous. It gave me enough space to assess the pros and cons of the platform before making a bet. This matters tremendously when every dollar counts. We're at a point now though that I feel confident going forward with Superblocks as the company needs to scale.
Creating APIs with your integrations is phenomenal. I can make DB queries, format it with JavaScript, and pipe it to another API all very easily. It even has control flow capabilities such as loops, conditionals, etc. Sometimes I wish it was this easy to make our own APIs.
The support and documentation is also fantastic. Anytime I find what could be an issue, the support chat is quick and staffed with knowledgeable engineers. I've always had my issues resolved, or they offered approaches to solve what I need to do.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are usability issues here and there with the ergonomics of the app editor - copying and pasting components, creating layouts, etc, but nothing that halts my flow state. It also takes some getting used to with certain patterns, like using temporary variable states to control different parts of your app. This becomes harder to manage as your apps become more complex, but just takes some getting used to. I think them adding more refactoring capabilities would help with this.
One other thing that could use some improvement is reusability. I often need to reuse a group of components with some logic in other apps, and unfortunately I just have to remake them. Fortunately on the API side, you can create what's called a Workflow and share API logic. I'd love to see this with components and more basic JavaScript logic I create.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets us focus on what matters - the core business. I don't want to spend time debugging UI components, scaffolding projects, and deploying internal tooling. With Superblocks we can prototype and operate much quicker, and actually enjoy building.
Great enabling tool for rapid internal app iteration
What do you like best about the product?
Superblocks has enabled me to rapidly build internal tools for my team, seamlessly integrating with AWS databases. I am mainly familiar with python and sql so it's great to be able to build apps using the superblocks component library, letting me focus on the data manipulation, workflow and design aspects instead. Superblocks support is also very responsive, which has been a huge help as I've navigated their new git features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of switching between coding in python and sql feel clunky to me - each sql query needs to be its own code block and adding new code blocks has some friction, especially when I need to edit them; I am more used to navigating code in vs code which has nicer formatting and other tools for quickly editing and adding code compared to superblocks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great to have a tool that has built-in component library with fairly high customizability. I'm currently using superblocks to build out internal apps for data and process tracking, enabling me to spend more time on the design and data processing workflows rather than building out a front end on my own (an area where I don't have much knowledge).
Excellent solution for developer-first internal tool building. Great support.
What do you like best about the product?
Being developer-first, Superblocks doesn't try to do too much hand holding. It allows for flexible building of the back end while making the front end easy. The support team has been great to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment there are a few areas where minor functionality we need is missing, but they are actively adding new features so I trust that it's only a matter of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal business app development
Powerful set of features to rapidly build out system tools. Inclusion of python is a huge plus1
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of building work flows. Also really like the inclusion of python scripting into the system (with a broad set of modules enabled). This allows me to quickly develop solutions without having to build out external API's or systems. The system is easy to set up and use. I was able to develop some quick solutions right out of the box. Once you understand how the workflow system works with the user interface elements, things move very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The styling is limited. Not really a way to add my own CSS. This limits my use for public facing solutions. Also, the workflow costs may become an issue over time. As my workflow complexity increase..that expense could ramp up quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Back off "glue" tools. i.e. building out tools on top of our DB and API's to provide internal users tools to complete their tasks.
Easy to build powerful internal apps
What do you like best about the product?
I found it very intuitive to use and extremely powerful. It handles a lot of the complexity of building internal apps for me. I was able to figure out how to start building the app I wanted in less than 15 minutes! Easily integrates with a lot of tools and can use REST API calls for any integrations that aren't native.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not sure when or why to use Workflows vs just building in the Backend API builder. Wish I could use it for building external apps as well, but that's because I like it so much!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Built an internal app to help with outbound sales.
