For internal tools, options like Retool, FileMaker, Airtable, and custom web apps each have distinct advantages and limitations. Team must assess their specific needs rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Key questions about users, speed, and complexity should guide the choice for optimal fit and future scalability.

InspectorPro has been Vince Menanno's passion project for over three decades—a tool born not just from curiosity but from a commitment to elevate the way FileMaker apps are built, debugged, and deployed.

In this blog post we'll focus on the benefits of using the new version, InspectorPro 9. I'll start with the most important reason, and that is that if you have a solution with any amount of complexity, and you need to continue evolving that solution, then you need to have timely information to help you make decisions about your code.

AI is what's all about nowadays, and with good reason! There's a lot of great uses for AI in most people's day to day computing.
