The problem with these novel ideas is two-fold: 1) The market it appeals to would rather just write the code themselves (programmers don't seem to like drag and drop tools - or so I am told) 2) The technology behind them is chosen through flavour-of-the-year/month - If this was 2013, it would have been some other JS library instead of React. -------------------------------- A better solution would be to create a CRUD-generator in the raw languages themselves that can kick-start or help get MVPs out a lot quicker than normal (or basically eliminate the need of "I need a tech-guy to build my idea" part of starting a startup). Eg. you have an application that is drag-and-drop-like that generates pure Python-3 for the backend and pure ES6 for the frontend and moves along with these languages (and not tied to any framework). The only catch is that it will appeal to a small market and will never be something you can comfortably make money from. As long as the generated-code is 'good', the project will live on for years.
