Mintdata looks cool, what does the imperative layer that drives the declarative layer look like? It'd be nice if this was a platform where engineers could sell

- denster 7y agoThank you! Genuinely warms my heart to hear it :) We've been using our own "Visual SDK" to build large parts of MintData for the past few years. It's 100% written in TypeScript/React, using decorators (cough: annotations!) and allows us to: 1) add new spreadsheet functions in TypeScript 2) wrap any React component 3) we get the auto-magic property panel UI "for free" & it instantly talks to/from the spreadsheet For our cloud/backend imperative layer: 4) we use our own real-time stream processor (think: Apache Storm but minus the Clojure stacktraces) 5) the SDK lets us quickly write flow blocks in Java using annotations & connect to all sorts of enterprise-y systems (SQL/NoSQL stores, Queues, File Systems, etc) @slifin -- in terms of engineers writing & selling those layers, we're open to it -- ping me if you have ideas & we can give you access to the docs & SDK. -- [1] I'd put a link here, but the flamethrowers have come out on this thread :)
- chrisweekly 7y agoLooks pretty cool; IMHO it's a good idea. (I once participated as a consultant / dev on a project to convert a Byzantine set of Excel spreadsheets into a deployable application built on web technologies, and this might have been a saner approach.)
- denster 7y agoThank you! Before the others come with torches, I’ll point out we turned on public/free access recently, would be happy to hear your thoughts/feedback on the MintData approach.
