- jordanab 5y agoASP.NET Web Forms + Telerik components always came really close for me for web apps. And to lesser extend Xamarin Forms for mobile as well.
- pavlov 5y agoThere's React Studio which is free and quite complete, although has some learning curve: https://reactstudio.com https://reactstudio.com
- pjmlp 5y agoVB is 30 years old this year and we still need to re-invent for the Web, sadly. However there is stuff like OutSystems or Oracle Apex. By the way Xojo does support WebAssembly.
- axaxs 5y agoSame here. VB was widely dogged, perhaps rightly so. But I've never been near as fast or productive when making a functional GUI. It's sad that fell out of favor.
- intrasight 5y agoI'm still looking for the equivalent of DataViews (leading GUI builder in 1998) for modern apps. I'm serious too.
- readonthegoapp 5y agoThe closest-ish i've come is messing with Anvil. not affiliated, but i do go back every 3 months to find out again that the $50/mo buy-in is too high for my liking. https://anvil.works/ https://anvil.works/
- meredydd 5y agoThe framework is open source, so if you don't want to pay, you can self host! You can use the dev environment for free, then deploy on your own hardware: https://anvil.works/open-source https://anvil.works/open-source (Founder here, confirming that this is a Supported Use Case :-P)
