That allows you to start with next to no code, but you can easily add a little business logic anywhere you need it eventually, and it provides a way to long term transition to a true application if the need arises.
Why not start out by using the Django Admin features? That allows you to start with next to no code, but you can easily add a little business logic anywhere you need it eventually, and it provides a way to long term transition to a true application if the need arises.
This will take a few minutes to implement and be significantly more stable and full-featured than any low/no-code solution.
I’ve explored lots of these and implemented a few with customers who wanted their “business analysts” to be able to build apps. My experience has been the “non technical” people can’t do these either and wind up getting developers to try, who are then frustrated with lock-in to a relatively unknown tool or expensive BPM suite. To a developer, these are often “death by a thousand clicks”. Even Visual Studio for the mo…
It seems to be a case of 'right-tool-right-job' rather than a blanket rule that no-code is good/bad.
I actually think no-code is incredibly powerful when applied by the right person to the correct problem, and will run circles around a custom-developed app in terms of cost, time and flexibility. If you apply it to the wrong problem then of course you aren't going to get the same outcome, like with any technology. I think the mistake people often make is thinking that no-code aims to eliminate all-code, but like any development tool it just fits a certain niche well.

The interface between Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Dynamics for example seems to make sense to me - that these low-code solutions can be used to augment an existing (cloud-based) ERP with new forms/capability that wouldn't otherwise be practical.

We are currently working on SQL support and should have the first SQL connectors out next week. Please give me a shout if we can be of any assistance! gvw [at] lowdefy.com
