@tyingq. That's a brilliant point, and am glad that you pointed it out. We were thinking of per-user pricing only for the employees. The tools generated will have an "Allow external user signups" option that would allow exter

Thanks for pointing that out! I am guessing it will be as easy as Excel for the non-programmers to use the tools generated using my tool. But, only the users can say. In fact, we were debating on providing an Excel like interface (which wil

GeneXus seems interesting, though my tool isn't exactly like GeneXus, it does overlap a bit in the sense of not requiring to code and easy to develop UI etc.

My tool enables the users to deploy the tools generated wherever they want. It will anyways be deployable to AWS, Azure, GCloud, Digital Ocean and Heroku with a single click - using their own credentials. Do you think pre-built AMIs might b

I think they will. Or probably they want to use this to get more GSuite users? I am not sure. Most of the startups that I know of which take tools seriously are already using GSuite. Will need to see how my tool will add any value to them

Also, just realized. It is adopter, and not adapter. My bad. Was too sleepy to realize what I typed.

Its more like a wizard, and seems very similar to https://developers.google.com/appmaker/ .

I agree. I was just trying to avoid a few very trivial things that each of the budding startups spend time in writing. But yes, its definitely harder. Perhaps it seems like I am looking at it vaguely and broadly, but I will narrow it down t

Thanks for pointing out @bArray. I intentionally avoided describing the product as I wanted to know more about the problem space, so I can come up with the right solution using this prototype. But I just realised that Google is working on s

Not the in-house tooling for devs, but for non-devs in the company to support their daily tasks.

Sure. At this point its just a really weird prototype. I was thinking of getting a few early adopters, build a product to serve their needs and then extend it. Should I still contact you over email?

I just realized I built something similar to https://developers.google.com/appmaker/ Irony, I wrote it for AppEngine, didn't host it though.

No, a web based UI which basically does the work of providing an interface to the DB (think of phpMyAdmin), but also adds meaning to the data based on the entities and teams that need the data. For example, the tool processes the DB schema,

Yes, but when it can be automated and the engineering resources could be used for building something even more useful, I think that's a clear decision for the business?

This is exactly what the tool does! It takes a few minutes to set it up or modify. Engineers would've otherwise spends days writing, another week testing and deploying.

Can't agree more!

I am sorry I didn't highlight this in the question. I didn't mean the in-house tools we build to make our dev's work easier, but to make it easier for the non-dev members of the company. I was referring to all those web UIs w
