Still maintained?

Is open blocks still being maintained and developed? I see that the activity in the repo has stopped since last month...

The original developers abandoned the project. Please come to discord community, other members are trying to move the project and continue development elsewhere.

You should also take a look at Appsmith: https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith

It is a similar tool that is also opensource, well funded, mature, and has a growing team behind it. Openblocks actually uses some Appsmith code! Feel free to join the community, contribute, and try it out. You can get a free cloud account also, if you don't want to self-host.

@hialvaro maybe we can separate and write pure opensource? without any crap :)

there's budibase too,
AppSmith OAuth and Access Controls are available in their premium tier, which is completely fair to be honest

Still I like the idea of openblocks because it has the minimum functionality for an useful internal app from the get-go ,

Would love to hear from the original openblocks devs though, I feel they've done a great job here and would be great to see what they have in mind, but maintaining an opensource project is hard work and I understand they probably have a lot in their plates right now.
