Summary

Retool has launched a new library of over 90 UI components designed to enhance the development of internal tools and business applications. Initially built on Ant Design, the previous component library faced scalability issues as Retool's customer base expanded, prompting the creation of a proprietary library. The updated components, which include new elements like Statistic, Range Slider, and Collapsible Container, offer improved customization, pre-configured validation, and dynamic features to streamline user interactions. Additionally, Retool has expanded its icon library and introduced extensive configuration options, enabling developers to tailor components to their specific needs. The new components are accessible via the Inspector tool, with deprecated components available for upgrade. As part of its ongoing improvements, Retool is also enhancing style editing capabilities and navigation options, while introducing a free plan allowing developers and teams of up to five members to build unlimited Retool apps at no cost.
