I see. Yes, those are on the roadmap.

Can you give an example? I'm not that familiar with pagedjs, just pulled it for the benchmark. My library has support for @page rules, but that's actually pretty basic. I needed more advanced headers/footers and added support

I am working on a HTML-to-PDF converter written from scratch in pure Go. I got tired of using headless browsers for various reasons and decided to give it a try and implement something that I can use internally. However the results have far

I had the same thought as you and started working on something that can be described as "AirTable meets Webflow". It's basically a no-code database with drag-and-drop page builder: tables are created and linked together (like

I think one of the reasons for this explosion in new productivity tools we are seeing is the remarkable progress the web platform has made in recent years. I know web developers complain about the rapid speed web technologies are moving, bu

If you mean the web app, then yes - apps can be cloned and then merged with a single mouse click. This is done with snapshots.

Yes, you can deploy an app anywhere (linux, windows, mac) as long as the FormBolt binary runs on that machine.

Hello, OP here. This is something I've been working on for quite some time. The goal is to make it easy for anyone to build database apps by first defining a data structure and then creating forms and UI around it. Pretty much anything

Awesome, let me know what you think.

Visual builders seem like a somewhat controversial topic on HN, but I personally am a huge supporter of the idea. So much so that I invested a lot of time in building a visual builder for database software myself [1]. It's a tool tha

Thanks for the feedback, Marcus. I'll look into the issues you mentioned.

I'm working on such CRUD app builder, which might be interesting to you. It's self-hosted and because it's written in Golang the entire server is a single binary - users can simply download the binary, run it and that's

I absolutely agree. That's why I don't target primarily developers, but the end-users of such apps. Of course knowing Javascript wouldn't hurt, because it opens a lot of more possibilities to further extend the entire app, bu

Yes, that's a very early version of the project from one year ago and before migrating to vue.js. I haven't updated the site or the demos since then, but the new one is coming next week.

I've been working on a project that does exactly what you described for the last few years. IMHO vue.js/react really changed the game here, especially for CRUD apps. For example what I did was to code a server part in golang and u

I agree. I am currently using Linode, but would move to AWS if they offer a cap. 2 years ago I signed up for the free AWS and forgot about it (didn't use it at all). Ended up costing ~60$ before I found out and since then I've avo

I am not very surprised by this news: german companies are very, very strong in this field. I worked a few years in a german research facility for production technology and automation a few years ago and the stuff we were working on was imp

Well I built it for a client and will have to see if it's OK to make it open source.

I agree with you. While I do not necessarily think that the syntax feels overly complex (it's just YAML) the entire blueprint tends to get hard to read and complex if you add a dozen elements and tabs. IMHO blueprints are great for a f

I can highly recommend grav: https://getgrav.org/ It uses Twig for templates, stores all data in files (Markdown) and the Admin panel is easy to extend with custom fields without writing code. Additionally there's an O

The site of the project (including demos of built apps for inventory management, accounting, sales management, etc.) will be up and running by the end of the week. I'll make sure to post it in the ShowHN section. :)

Coming from C++/C# and having previously used PHP for my web projects, I absolutely love Golang! I never really liked dynamically-typed languages ... actually I really dislike PHP, but it was ... easy and familiar. But after just a few

Well, I wouldn't say that I can control it better. These reactions are way too primitive to be consciously controlled. I simply do not get triggered by the same situations any more ... maybe the mind becomes more resilient and thus th
