## What it is
Dropbase is a local-first, self-hosted platform that uses AI to generate Python web apps, combining a drag-and-drop UI builder with editable code. It targets internal tools like admin panels, dashboards, and back-office apps built on a built-in Python web framework.

## Use cases
- build admin panels with AI
- create internal back-office tools
- generate billing dashboards from data sources
- build CRUD editors for Salesforce or HubSpot data
- prototype internal engineering tools quickly
- self-host an alternative to low-code app builders

## When to choose
- you want AI-generated, editable Python code instead of form-based low-code tools
- you need self-hosted internal tools with no credentials shared externally
- your team works in Python and wants to reuse PyPI packages and custom scripts
- you want portable app folders shareable across teams

## When to avoid
- you need a fully code-first framework without a visual builder
- you require a permissively licensed library to embed in your own product
- you need production-grade public-facing web apps rather than internal tools
- you want a mature, long-established platform with large community support
