It's not only unclear at first glance who the audience is, but what the tool actually does. It seems like some kind of no-code tool at first, but then it mentions pair programming? I'm confused, and don't want to wade through a swamp of marketing text.
- hungryforcodes 5y agoI was confused about this too. Like how does it work? A web assembly sandbox...
- alexkern 5y agoWe're decidedly a "low-code" or even “yes-code” tool. You use the drag-and-drop interface to design the app, while all of the app's logic is written in an in-browser text editor environment. Everything is multiplayer from day 1. It's an IDE in the style of VB6 / MS Access / FileMaker Pro, but built with modern web technologies at the foundation. We're building for early-stage technical teams and independent developers that want to reduce the iteration time on prototype -> production apps.
- dustingetz 5y agoSo multiplayer bubble but more industrial/data-centric, real database (operated out of band) for full data modeling power & operational scale, and use javascript to define business rules with control flow and loops?
- alexkern 5y agoThat's one way to describe it. :) One note: we have some lightweight persistent data stores built-in for convenience, like a key/value store. However, you're always able to build on top of your own database / API and most of our early users do.
- JediPig 5y agoSame thought here. Why would a person use this over salesforce, Wordpress, or the dozen other CMS systems out there? I watched the 5 minute demo, it is doing nothing complex. How many one off sites we all seen that are written by a tool that ended up not able to handle the complexity. Tools like this need a huge "never" been done before hook, and this one does not readily have it.
