Seems like it’s Framer-meets-Retool.
Framer has a great UI builder, but doesn’t connect to backends very well. They have their own CMS but the net result is that you typically use it for marketing sites but not business app interfaces.
Retool can connect to a lot of different data sources but is ugly and wouldn’t help build a customer-facing app that I would feel proud of. They give you easy to use UI primitives to get you up and running fast.
This seems like a UI builder that can hook into backend systems.
- chungwu 3y agoYes, in a way! Plasmic is a general visual React app builder that can be embedded into your existing React app or be deployed standalone. As such, we place a heavy emphasis on _design_, so you can build exactly the thing that you want, and on _integration_, so you're never limited by what Plasmic can do out of the box. A big part of this is being able to use your own React components in your Plasmic designs, which is a major escape hatch that lets you include any amount of data fetching or business logic that can be consumed by your Plasmic designs.
