Awesome contributions everyone, great to see more and more folks sharing knowledge in our collective Retool 'hive mind' of Retool app-building knowledge.

Outside of show-and-tell posts, the top-liked comment by a community member this month was authored by @jg80! above comment full of encouragement, gratitude and swag :grin: , but the earlier technical knowledge-sharing post is still next in line with 6 likes.

I want to give a shoutout to a recent comment that nearly made top of the list: @trz-justin-dev 's excellent solution on this topic: onSuccess cascade does not retrieve previously id created - #2 by trz-justin-dev

Most Liked Community Show + Tell Post (aka Architect Bee) @ezerjesse

The most liked Community Show + Tell post this month was this awesome trip-planning app by @ezerjesse :oncoming_automobile: :world_map: :writing_hand:
OpenAI, MapBox & Calendar Example Thank you for showing us how to combine all of these elements into a super functional, visual and interactive dashboard for vacation-planning! Just in time for the summer months for those in the northern hemisphere :sunny: :sunglasses:

Really cool to see some of these showcases where you're using Retool for aspects of one's personal life like travel planning :world_map: and football fandom :soccer: !

Community Builder of the Month!

@pyrrho has been a consistent contributor here in our forums for some time now, and often shares information-rich comments such as this one which helped connect a specific use case with the less-well-known Color Picker component, or this one which explains a nuance of building in edit mode with 'hidden' components.

@pyrrho often engages early after a topic has been posted, and follows up until arriving at a clear and often creative solution that both the question-asker and others here in the community learn from :brain:

We've also often seen @pyrrho collaboratively chime in on threads where others have already engaged in conversation, adding tidbits of development advice, explaining the reason for asking questions to troubleshoot, and sharing illustrative code snippets to round out topics for maximum clarity! Thank you for your thoroughness in problem-solving, and your focus on clear communication and knowledge-sharing with others!

Going back 10 months, @pyrrho has consistently left at least 45 comments here in the forum per month, or more! This gift of knowledge and collaboration has also yielded 86 solutions authored by @pyrrho (including 18 during this May challenge alone), plus many more solutions that came out of collaborative discussion.

Thank you for all of these ways you've shown up for our community, always willing to have interesting and productive conversations in which everyone learns!

Community Builder badge coming right up!
