Looks cool, would be a lot more interesting to me, if it included data io with postgres database functions and views.
I never use direct to table updates.
Being able to easily created a web front end to a database with a tool like yours, would be extremely useful to me and I would happily pay for such.
There are umpteen tools for creating schemas and managing databases - most like PgAdmin are pretty poor - I use Sublime Text. Unfortunately there are no RAD tools available for creating simple UI's. All my logic is in the db so I just need simple forms and display grids. I had a quick look at Envelope but complexity of setup and poor documentation put me off.
- vladsanchez 9y agoI feel your pain. Don't despair. I once found a tool you'll also fall in love with: Delphi [1]. If you look for a, less-featured, FOSS version, try Lazarus [2] [1] https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi [2] http://www.lazarus-ide.org http://www.lazarus-ide.org
- mathisonian 9y agoWe are in the process of adding compile time logic, which will hopefully enable more use cases like this. (so you could e.g. run a database query at compile time and use that to populate the page). happy to ping you once this is landed, or you can follow the progress here https://github.com/idyll-lang/idyll/issues/70 https://github.com/idyll-lang/idyll/issues/70
