开启我们的开源之旅
DN
Our open source startup journey
======
ToolJet 是一款开源的代码量少的用于快速构建和部署内部工具的框架。它的基础代码完全基于 JavaScript 和 TypeScript 。
DN
[ToolJet][1] is an open source, low-code framework for rapidly building and deploying internal tools. Our codebase is 100% JavaScript and TypeScript.
ToolJet于2021年由一名开发者启动开发，并于2021年6月推出公测版本，一炮而红。此后， ToolJet 成立了基金会。目前，已经有一个20人的开发团队了。
DN
A lone developer in April 2021 started ToolJet. The public beta launched in June 2021 and was an instant hit. With this traction, ToolJet raised funding, and currently, we have a team of 20 members.
### 为什么选择开源
DN
### Why open source?
在开发 ToolJet 之前，我曾担任一些企业客户端的顾问。许多客户端都庞大到在其中维护构建了大量的内部工具，更不用说来自销售人员、支持人员以及运营人员对于内部工具的持续的漏洞修复与添加更多功能的要求了。开发团队一直在寻找能够用于内部应用开发的工具。
DN
Before working on ToolJet, I worked with a few enterprise clients as a consultant. Many of these clients were large enough to build and maintain dozens of internal tools. Despite the constant requests from sales, support, and operations teams to add more features and fix the bugs in their internal tools, engineering teams struggled to find the bandwidth to work on the internal utilities.
我尝试过多个平台来构建和维护内部工具。大部分的平台是昂贵的，而且有时候并不能满足我们的需求，我们不得不修改平台代码，而且大多数的平台工具都不支持本地托管。
DN
I tried using a few platforms to build and maintain internal tools. Most of these tools were very expensive, and frequently, they didn't really fit the requirements. We needed modifications, and most utilities didn't support on-premise hosting.
作为一名 Ruby 开发者，我最初使用 ActiveAdmin 和 RailsAdmin 来构建内部工具。这两款工具都是极好的，只是将它们应用在超出一个数据源上的工作比较困难。于是我意识到市场上需要一种可以构建用户界面并能够连接多个数据源的框架。我相信任何为开发者制作的工具都应当是开源的。开发者日常使用的大部分工具与框架都源自世界各地人们的公开协作。
DN
As a Ruby developer, I primarily used ActiveAdmin and RailsAdmin to build internal tools. Both utilities are amazing, but making them work with more than one data source is difficult. I then realized there is a need in the market for a framework that could build user interfaces and connect to multiple data sources. I believe any tool built for developers should be open source. Most of the tools and frameworks that developers use daily result from people from all over the world collaborating in public.
### 第一次提交
DN
### The first commit
制作像 ToolJet 这样的工具需要全身心的投入，出售我的一个个人项目后我获得了5-6个月的空闲，我立即着手将在我脑海里酝酿了两年的想法付诸现实。
DN
Building something like ToolJet needed a full-time commitment. Selling one of my side projects gave me a runway of 5-6 months, and I immediately started working on an idea I'd had in mind for at least two years.
2021年4月1日，我完成了 ToolJet 的第一次提交(使用 rails new 命令)。
DN
The first commit (rails new) of ToolJet was on April 1, 2021.
稍等！我刚刚说 ToolJet 的代码是完全基于 JavaScript 的？请接着往下看。
DN
Wait! I said the codebase is 100% JavaScript. Continue reading to discover why.

### 构建工具并推销给投资者
### Building and pitching investors
4、5月间，我一直坐在电脑屏幕前编写代码和向种子轮的投资者推销我的工具。
DN
I sat in front of my screens for most of April and May, coding and pitching to investors for a pre-seed round.
我的工作还包括创建拖放式应用程序构建器，撰写所有的文档以保证有在主流平台上设置 ToolJet 的文档，创建项目网站，制作发布时所需的海报以及博客文章等等。这一过程进展顺利，没有遇到大的挑战。当时， ToolJet 的前端使用的是 React ，而后端则用的是 Ruby on Rails 。
DN
My work also included creating the drag-and-drop application builder, documenting everything, ensuring there was documentation for setting ToolJet up on popular platforms, creating a website, creating posters and blog posts for launch, and more. The process went well without any major challenges. At this point, the frontend of ToolJet was built using React, with the backend using Ruby on Rails.
编程工作进行得很顺利，然而投资者推广工作进行得并不顺利。我向专注于初创时期投资的风投和天使投资人发送了大约40封电子邮件，都石沉大海。大部分邮件都被忽略了，不过也有一些公司向我说明了拒绝的原因，另外一些则给我来了电话。
DN
While the coding was going well, investor pitches weren't going great. I sent around 40 cold emails to venture capitalist firms and "angel investors" focused on early-stage funding. While most of them ignored the email, some shared their reason for rejection, and some scheduled a call.
大部分的电话内容都是一样的：我无法说服他们接受开源商业模型。
DN
Most of the calls were the same; I couldn't convince them of an open source business model.
### 工具发布
DN
### The launch
6月7日是发布日。我们首先在 ProductHunt （译者注： [ProductHunt][11] 是一个新品发布平台）上发布.六个小时后，只有70名用户注册。但是我们有成为当天第一名产品的趋势(最终在那一周的产品中排名第三)。这是原始的[发布帖][2]。
DN
June 7th was the day of the launch. First, we launched on ProductHunt. Six hours passed, and there were only 70 new signups. But we were trending as the #1 product of the day (and ended up as the #3 product of the week). For posterity, here's the original [post][2].
I also posted on [HackerNews][3] around 6 PM, and within an hour, the post was #1. I was very happy that many visitors signed up and starred the repository. Many of these visitors and users reported bugs in the application and documentation. Within eight hours of posting on HN, more than 1,000 GitHub users starred ToolJet's GitHub repository, and there were hundreds of signups for ToolJet cloud. The trend continued for three days, and the repo had 2.4k stars.
