@rrhoover Hey Ryan! A few things: (1) Instead of trying to hide the nuts-and-bolts of software development, we make sure it's directly in your face -- but we generate the code for you to begin with, behind the scenes. No black boxes, everything is decomposable to code. (2) We include robust professional developer "tools of the trade" like version control, rollbacks, development environments, differentiation between development -> production buildpaths, powerful identity / auth management, and even API rate-limiting and access control. Things that everything except the most Enterprise-enabled workflow tools don't even begin to touch, but pro developers like to have control over. (3) Finally -- the future of software development is the *next* XX M software developers. We've worked our hardest to deliver a product that gives new devs (and "low coders") the tools they need to get started without alienating them *or* some of the more traditional engineers (like me, I'm one of the latter). Our insights, working with folks on the current product, is that "low-coders" aren't actually afraid to get their hands dirty with a little code from time to time -- in fact, many of them want to learn! It unlocks exciting career paths. I learned to code as a kid by copy and pasting code examples. We want this product to be able to provide that, where applicable, for anybody looking to dig in a little deeper to software development. Also -- we hope you like the docs, which can answer more questions! https://docs.stdlib.com/overview...

Hey all! The Standard Library team (@hacubu @notoriaga @mss_ledezma) have been hard at work for the last nine months preparing Build on Standard Library. It's workflow automation for developers -- both veterans and newbies alike. Every workflow you build gets shipped as a serverless API, and it's completely backed by code. We're excited to see what you think, we have a lot more coming and a lot more to build. :) Feel free to read the introductory blog post that gives a bit of the history of the company: https://stdlib.com/blog/introduc... Thanks for all your support!
