This is a really, really, really great idea that I've been thinking should be practical for a couple of months now. I wish these guys the best of luck. I even started work on a (not yet even vaguely functional) prototype of an open-source version of pretty much the same idea ( <a href="https://github.com/seldo/makomi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/seldo/makomi</a> )
I think my chief interest in these kinds of ideas is in enabling designers/et cetera to flesh out their ideas for certain interfaces/functionality/tools. It's much easier to express why an idea is cool and worth pursuing (esp. when getting others to come on board and build with you) when you have a prototype that can implement parts of your vision.<p>There's definite value in giving designers agency in expressing ideas interactively and aesthetically. So I'm really curious if this tool will be used like that. I'm definitely more a designer than a developer, so I think this would make it easier to being implementing an idea without getting frustrated with trying to DIY my own backend.
Looks really interesting.<p>Just a quick note: You should really turn off the django DEBUG flag... <a href="http://ilter-ourbnb.appcubator.com/Listings_Page/?query=&field_json=[%22description%22%2C+%22city%22%2C+%22price%22%2C+%22photo%22]" rel="nofollow">http://ilter-ourbnb.appcubator.com/Listings_Page/?query=&fie...</a>
This is an excellent idea. I remember seeing a similar attempt years ago from the guys at IBM - although it was a PHP app.<p>The guys could drag a data source on to a widget and automatically configure it. It was amazing.<p>Your site is a work in progress but so far so good! :)
Very very interesting stuff. Looking forward to where you guys go with this. If implemented well, this COULD be the new geocities WITH backend. Loving it
I really like how I can just drag the social login buttons, and it just works! I would definitely use this in the future because I don't have to worry about the individual social login API's anymore. Best of luck guys!
I feel like this could end up being a pretty good educational tool to get people/students/whoever interested in developing web applications as well.
