New release: REI3.6 - Selfhosted low-code reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetrasFent · 2023-11-21 09:50 Hello everyone, We have just released [REI3.6](https://rei3.de/), which is a major overhaul of how the platform looks and feels. https://preview.redd.it/nv4b36t5ao1c1.png?width=1488&format=png&auto=w ebp&s=f61bfe3a0ccb6f3baefeb7eb9d4074e299587b61 REI3 is a selfhosted low-code application builder and a free alternative to tools like Outsystems, Ninox, Retool and Mendix. Some notable features of this release: * Redesign of most user interfaces and inputs. * Drawing inputs to collect signatures with the option to attach them to emails or PDF documents. * Many more user options to adjust the look and feel of REI3. * Widgets that users can add to and arrange on their home pages. * More context help in the application Builder as well as some updated user interfaces. For those new to low code: The idea is that you can create your own custom software without the need for programming. You can build forms, store data, generate PDFs, send and process mails, call APIs, and so on. REI3 is fully [open-source](https://github.com/r3-team/r3), used by organizations and individuals that like to run free software. https://preview.redd.it/mzx0mgo7ao1c1.png?width=1488&format=png&auto=w ebp&s=999a243bc0e11d700b7b70b890292ae6e4329fee With this [release](https://rei3.de/en/news#article-2023-11-20), we´ve spent a lot of time redesigning, testing and generally making everything more consistent. We are very thankful for the amount of feedback and support we´ve gotten and are looking forward to seeing, how this release is received. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ovizii · 2023-11-21 13:41 Looks interesting, thanks for sharing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- user01401 · 2023-11-22 02:59 Nice! Has anyone made a mobile document signing app? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetrasFent · 2023-11-22 18:45 Not that I am aware - but most build apps for inhouse only and do not publish them. What would a document signing app do? Would you generate documents as PDFs and enable people to sign for them? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- user01401 · 2023-11-22 18:48 Yes clients would sign the PDF on a tablet and then it would save and email them a copy. Similar to SignNow or DocuSign. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetrasFent · 2023-11-22 22:39 REI3 has PDF generation features but they might currently be too limited for your use case. You can add signatures to PDF files, but only during generation of the PDF, not later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- user01401 · 2023-11-23 00:37 Thanks for the reply, I will definitely be following this great project! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- daqivip · 2023-11-23 13:24 The previous appearance is very nostalgic retro, now the style is very modern atmosphere bright, I am very happy! Thank you. Thank you, REI3 team. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Which-World7333 · 2023-11-30 12:29 Can the internal postgres DB be a hosted cloud postgres server? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Which-World7333 · 2023-11-30 12:33 Apologies as in external to the application and hosted separately? E.g google cloud SQL? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NetrasFent · 2023-11-30 17:01 As long as you can reach your Postgres DB from your REI3 server, it does not matter where its hosted. So yes :)
