> Every couple of years, the hope surfaces that a simple graphical interface will replace teams of developers. Business people to quickly and easily create beautiful expressions of their ideas and launch them into production seamlessly. A handful of startups in every generation take up this challenge, and they mostly fail.
well, I used to work in a company where a lot of software were written in Max/MSP (https://1cyjknyddcx62agyb002-c74projects.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2015/12/super-looper-patching-mode1.png https://1cyjknyddcx62agyb002-c74projects.s3.amazonaws.com/fi...). Sure, it wasn't very maintainable, but it allowed one person to iterate very fast.
I've also used some CRUD apps which were entirely made in MS Access (D&D 3.5 eTools :) ).
- jonnydubowsky 7y agoThanks for this great example. I love MaxMSP and I participate in NYU ITP Camp every year where I am amazed at how many creative problems I can solve using MaxMSP. You are right about these solutions not scaling as enterprise applications, but they are valuable within the right context and the ability to share sketches is also great for learning to go deeper. If you don't mind sharing, what's the company that uses MaxMSP in their workflow? I love finding these creative examples and am curious for added context.
