CRUD apps are boring. Even if the process of development is made less boring, the final product is still just a CRUD app. :)

- krapp 14y agoMy vast naivety may be showing here but isn't every web app essentially a CRUD app?
- coldtea 14y agoA lot of them are, but they are differentiated by the run-of-the-mill database front-end CRUD app by their concept. E.g, is Twitter a CRUD app? At the programming level maybe, but the core idea behind the service is quite different. And there are the more interesting non CRUD apps. Google Docs. Google Maps. Photoshop.com. Multiplayer online Games. Online Editors. Online Validators. Real-time collaboration apps. Etc etc.
- kyllo 14y agoNot necessarily. A CRUD app is an app whose primary capability is allowing the user to interact with a relational database for storing and retrieving records. Google Search is one obvious example of a web app that has absolutely nothing to do with CRUD. It uses a search algorithm to search a massive priority-ranked data structure that represents an index of many millions of popular web pages.
- krapp 14y agook good point, thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of search....
