App built with ReTool in production for users

I have a colleague who built a database app using ReTool.
Since it has been built quite nice, we would like to publish it on our cloud space and make it accessible for more than just him.
But we can't find any information on how to publish the app, apart from the in-app settings, to publish it, but it is always a "preview" version.
Anyone has experience with this?
You can share your Retool app publicly via a public link, and embed it in an iFrame in other applications or web pages. In edit mode just click the "Share" button on the top right and select the "Public" tab. (This will render your app publicly.)
But It's good to know that the public apps are only available on the Business and Enterprise plans.
Check this link for detailed information.
You can also get the share app url from (...) menu.

How to plugin siddhi web editor within existing project?

We are thinking to use Siddhi web editor. Can you please let us know how we can integrate siddhi web editor with our existing UI (Adapt Framework) and restrict few functionalities from editor. In short how we can customize the web editor and plug with our existing UI?
Siddhi web editor is designed to be run on the OSGi environment with microservices. As of now, there is no way to customise the editor interface except jumping over the javascript code in Editor code in io.siddhi.distribution.editor.core. Also, note that all components under tooling module should be present for the Editor to run correctly

Build a website in sitecore and make it offline

I want build site using Sitecore(7.2) and also make it offline. Our requirement is not to use headless CMS. Is there any way to build or make it offline?
Internet websites cannot be delivered 'offline' without having all possible data delivered to the device so that it no longer needs to connect to the internet. This sounds less like a website, and more like an app that somebody would install?
If so, you probably DO need to look at headless and building an app that connects to the APIs for updates.
You might need to be more specific about the business use case because it seems contradictory to want to use a web application software that delivers web content, without using headless, and works without the web.
As already suggested that internet websites cannot work offline so either you have an app or intranet website.
Considering as an app you can consume sitecore OData apis for Content/Media however it will not work for Presentations and you have to implement your own mobile designs based on Xamarin or native.
For odata related information you can refer below link:
https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/90/sitecore-experience-manager/en/the-odata-item-service.html
Once you get the response from api, you can locally store it in your local db of app

Accessing Sharepoint lists from a Standalone Application

I have a Standalone application, which needs to access a Sharepoint list. I bumped into a few articles, mentioning Web Service is the way to go about it.
But I am unable to find a step by step path to write a web service to fetch list from sharepoint. In addition to this, the application can take a WSDL file as an input.
Please let me know how to proceed about this scenario.
If you are using SharePoint 2007, then web services is the only way to do this. Here is a list of the different web services available.
If you are using SharePoint 2010 you can use the client object model.
You can simply use the SharePoint webservice Lists.asmx (both in SharePoint 2007 and 2010)
In your application, add a web reference 'http://(sharepoint-url)/_vti_bin/lists.asmx'
Once done, you can use the method GetList.

Using a Web Service to access data outside MOSS using AD for authentication

So here is the scenario:
I have a MOSS 2007 box and I want my clients to be able to access a SharePoint site via the internet. I am told that I will be using an IPA and AD for authentication. However I have a DB outside of SharePoint that holds various business data and I want to use Web Services to access the data, manipulate it, and send it back to SharePoint via web parts.
The issue is that, from what I understand, I am going to have to authenticate the AD user every time a request to the Web Service happens. Obviously I dont want to do this every time because they have already authenticated to get onto the site, however I do want each call to have some form of security so its not open calls to my db. I do plan on having other applications access this service outside of SharePoint, so I dont want to have to reinstall the service for each application or even again.
Has anyone had to perform this task or something similar or do you have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thank you in advance and happy coding!
Why not just deploy the webservice to Sharepoint using a Sharepoint solution and a Feature.
That way it will be running under the sharepoint app pool and all authentication is done by sp.
Edit:
Seeing that SharePoint should not be in "control" (as stated in the comment), you should create the webservice, and run the application it's under in as using Windows Authentication. IMHO you should create a WCF Service. The, using the information found in this article you make the Service authenticate users against the AD usergroups they are in. see the "Security: Authentication" section of the article.
Then in Visual Studio you create a webpart and add a service reference to the project, pointing to your newly created Service. Have the webpart perform the needed logic (i.e. display data etc.)
Deploy the webpart to SharePoint using a SharePoint solution (.wsp files, created with WSPBuilder). Google for SharePoint + wspbuilder + tutorials. The solution should contain 1 feature to deploy the webpart. WSPBuilder integrates with VS and allows for the creation of WSPBuilde project. add a webpart feature item to the project (it will create the xml (deployment related) and code file for the webpart.
