Re: Show HN: Alan – a low-code application platform
#2Hi,
Alan is a new approach to "low code" for the rapid development of data centric applications. I'm one of the developers of the platform.
> Instead of the traditional relational database + 3GL or 4GL language, the core of Alan is a data modelling language that automatically generates full stack applications.
If you'd like to know more, we'll be monitoring this HN post and we have a forum: https://forum.alan-platform.com

#7It should have a video showing the code the process and the sort of apps it builds.
I’m not doing the tutorial.
I’m sufficiently interested to give it a 30 second video. If that looks interesting I might look at more involved videos about some aspect.

Hey, that's good feedback thanks. We did a little video/gif of the deployment process (https://alan-platform.com/pages/tuts/getting-started.html#bu...). At some point we'll do a full walk through video, but time-wise it's expensive to do.
The flow is pretty bare bones though, so if you're used to a text editor and command line tools it'll be pretty familiar.

Well you’ve launched, so you should be meeting the needs of potential customers.
In your shoes I’d turn around and make a 1 minute video and upload it to YouTube within 20 minutes, showing what your system is and what these data structures look like.
If you have an Apple Mac, the screen recording is built right into QuickTime, just plug your telephone headset into the machine to record some narrative as you go.
Seriously, why launch without showing people what it is? 10 years coding, not willing to spend 5 minutes to record it and show us?
I’m not interested in reading about the deployment process. Really not.
Sell me on what you made.

#10> See it with your own eyes
I'd love to. You need to show it on this page.
Even if a screenshot (or screen capture, or some code) is pretty useless, it helps give the right context, and tells me this is actually a thing, and not just a hope.
This [0] should be front and center.
