Hopefully a backend that lets me stay in my own environment and don't oblige me to code on THEIR hosted cloud platform. I like the WYSIWYG approach, as far as I tried it seems not limited like classic wysiwyg interfaces. You guys should open source to have the full community behind you to make the Parse that Parse should have been. Easy to use, Open, community driven and deployable anywhere.

Both the editor[0] and the server[1] are open source.

[1]: https://github.com/webshell/materia-server

Edit:

My bad, only the server is open source.

Materia server is fully open source. We are in the process of commenting it better for people to contribute and customize it.

Materia Designer is not fully open source, we use this repository as issue tracker and to keep a trace of everything.

We’re still considering open-sourcing it too to engage the community for building addons.

First thing I thought of was FFVII. This looks like a pretty solid tool, will definitely be trying it out.

What's funny is Omnihash was right below this post when I first clicked on it. So much nostalgia. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12455305

Haha thanks – I totally didn't pick up on that reference.

Ah, my bad. I just saw the link, I probably should've taken 30 seconds to check out the repository contents.

> Materia Designer has been made to cover all major aspects of developing an application, in 9 quick steps.

Step 6: "Develop your Single page application"

Might just be me, but I'm pretty sure that "quick step" isn't typically used to describe this activity.

I've just removed the "quick" word, Thanks :)

IMO "9 simple steps" looks better than "9 steps"
