This reminds me a bit of The Last One, a program for generating business software on demand. It was released in 1981 and supposed to be the last program you'd ever need to buy. You can guess how that (and every subsequent such product) turned out in the end.
That's not to say don't try, but be aware that this is harder than it looks!
- Sreyanth 10y agoI agree. I was just trying to avoid a few very trivial things that each of the budding startups spend time in writing. But yes, its definitely harder. Perhaps it seems like I am looking at it vaguely and broadly, but I will narrow it down to a specific type of tool or to a specific type of business.
- GFischer 10y agoSome of those are still around (here in Uruguay we have a tool called Genexus that's been around for like 20 years and generates code in almost any language, the OP might want to look into that https://www.genexus.com/global/home?en https://www.genexus.com/global/home?en ). The problem is, they're still programming languages, but very opinionated They look like magic if you go the way the tool allows you to go, but when you go off the rails you end up wasting more time than if you had coded it in a standard language.
- Sreyanth 10y agoGeneXus seems interesting, though my tool isn't exactly like GeneXus, it does overlap a bit in the sense of not requiring to code and easy to develop UI etc.
