There is a lot the platform can do by itself, but I think you grasped it well enough. The side loaded apps are definitely the escape hatch to enable things it doesn't cover (yet).

Hi Chris, how are you!? It's been a while man. We've definitely dug into it a lot deeper than last time you worked on it. As you say, once you get how the models work it sticks with you :)

I does look kinda like a beer mug, I can't unsee it! But that's probably also because on this side of the planet it's time for a pint.

Graph databases are much more powerful and a better fit for our modeling language. However, the platform can create a live SQL database mirror if you need that kind of thing.

Well, in this particular case passwords are always hashed. So the platform deals with that for you. Other changes to the data model need a migration, which is covered here: https://alan-platform.com/pages/tuts/migr

We're still feeling out the market here, to see where we can take it. It will probably stay free for personal use and then grow from there with services like hosting, etc. Pricing model for businesses is something we're looking at

Thanks for the feedback and kudos! Alan is definitely related to model driven engineering. It's a different take on what a model can specify, and models drive everything we do. https://www.m-industries.com has some testimon

You could look at it like that. But because data modeling language underneath is so much more detailed and powerful, the default UI is also much more useful than what you get in Access or any other relational database. The basic target audi

I guess you could compare it to the model driven Power Apps. However, Alan's modeling language is more powerful. Especially the concept of state groups that allows you to specify complex business rules in the application model itself.

Hi, Alan is a new approach to "low code" for the rapid development of data centric applications. I'm one of the developers of the platform. > Instead of the traditional relational database + 3GL or 4GL language, the core

Totally agree. A lot of these fonts are derived from old type writer fonts. I try not to include pure type writer fonts, but I'm probably not really strict here. It's a bit sad that even new monospace fonts like Noto, seemingly de

GitUp is cool, I particularly love the graph view. It has almost no functionality though. You can't three-way-merge and resolve conflicts in it, nor browse the file tree for any given commit, nor compare any two commits.

Pretty amazing feat to enter what looks like a saturated market with a product that has a a unique combination of features, is super performant and cross platform. Kudos.
