Anyone in the Forum using any Low Code tool(s) ? August 10, 2023 08:32AM |

Hello,
Recently I have been exploring various low code tools as an alternative to WX for building mobile and web apps.
I am interested in knowing if anyone is using any such tool(s) for building mobile and web apps?
Personally I am currently using these:
FlutterFlow for building Mobile and simple Web Apps. (https://flutterflow.io/)
Noodl for building complex responsive Web Apps. (https://www.noodl.net/)
AppSmith for building back end Admin Panels for various mobile apps. (https://www.appsmith.com/)
Opensource Lowcoder for building back end Admin Panels for various mobile apps. (https://www.lowcoder.cloud/)
100% Opensource Frappe Framework for building any kind of Web Apps and Web Sites. But unfortunately it requires some coding in Python and JavaScript. (https://frappeframework.com/)
From these only FlutterFlow generates source code of the app built in it.
TIA

Hi, FlutterFlow offers a small portion of Flutter's range of widgets only. There's a number of stories on Medium comparing Flutter and FlutterFlow. Read them. Mostly not in favour of FlutterFlow. Using Flutter's Dart language, you have to become "fluent" in it which will take about 6 months of using and learning, 4-6 hours per day. Maybe, I'm doing that somewhen in the far future. For the time being, I'm content with WINDEV's development speed ....

Hi,
Thanks for your inputs.
Learning Dart may not be mandatory anymore as FlutterFlow has integrated AI that will generate necessary source as and when needed.
My primary trial with FlutterFlow for building web apps did not go well as the performance is unacceptable especially when the amount of data is large. Probably may be because I am still new to it and don't know how to fine tune it for performance. But when it come to mobile apps the performance is really good.
My experience with Frappe Framework is quite good as I know enough Python to get things done. But overall after I crossed the basic learning curve my experience is pleasant. Unfortunately being 100% open source they do not have enough tutorials for onboarding new developers.
Most of the other frameworks are based on NodeJS and ReactJS.
In one other forum someone suggested me to check out GeneXus which is powered by .NET. Will check it when I get enough free time.
TIA
