Hi, I'm working on something similar but targeting Web frameworks for the moment. https://skelet.app
Have you had a look at Anvil? https://anvil.works
Enter Lowdefy - Build business web apps in YAML - and its fantastic! Also, founder here so.. Honestly our team is writing more YAML than I think anyone, and we, including junior devs are loving the experience. Check it out!https://lowdefy.com
This is awesome, i just tried it myself for a simple form builder that I needed to send out a survey.I will play around more, at first glance, it might be useful for learning new frameworks/langages that require installation of external dependencies.what do you wish to do with further?
I remember someone saying on HN that what the world needed was a way to make web apps that was as easy as making a Windows form in Visual Studio. Could this be that app?
I feel the same problem! I've been writing web apps in various technologies (from backbone to react, php to Node) and always felt I had to reimplement the same common features (while using a lot of code + tests, ...).Thinking similarly as you (terraform for code), together with my brother I started working on https://wasp-lang.dev/ - it is a DSL for building full-stack web apps. We are still very early but
Instant gratification modern stack web (frontend/backend) programming. Ok for playing around, but for anything serious it doesn't seem to add much imho. Maybe I am missing something. If you could install it on your own company servers it would be better.
Hi HN, we’re four developers who’ve worked in companies and as freelancers, and we’re tired of wasting hours on project setup. So we built Calque.It lets you:Generate a fully functional codebase instantlyAutomatically push it to GitHubDeploy it immediately to VercelPick frameworks, libraries, UI kits, and even preconfigured documentationBasically, you go from idea → code → live app in under a minute.We built it because we’ve repeatedly spent the first 3–8 hours of every proj
Hey man,I am working on framework to quickly build simple web apps/ui. http://WidgetTerminal.comWould love to talk to you about your use case. Contact info in my profile.
