I really love Retool, but if you're dealing with a ton of data, it'll bog down their UI really quickly. It's quick to get started to build small apps for special circumstances (like moving files around, approving posts, etc.)

I head up product at Retool. I’m sorry to hear about the issues here. We’ve been heads down on improving the performance of apps like yours by moving work into the server-side, re-architecting parts of our codebase, geolocating our servers closer to users, and a number of other initiatives. We’re releasing these improvements as we prove their efficacy, while other improvements are under more experimental feature flags. If you’re interested, our engineering team would love to get these safely turned on for you—Just reach out to me at eeke@retool.com.

We're starting to get to that stage now. We have a UI for Customer Service to manage everything related to a customer at a digital bank. It's becoming quite slow.

Just in case, we work a lot with banks (with >1k users onboarded on one single admin panel) at Forest Admin.

I recognized the name, thank you for jsonapi-serializer!

Any reason you’re not adding maintainers?

Feels sad that one of the most useful JavaScript JSON API spec libraries is dead for 2-3 years :( There are people lined up to support, fix and keep improving it.
