OP/Author here. We have been working on INTUITION.DEV open source for almost a year. First we started with a generator: SASS to css and Pug to html. Then we added a WebAdmin editor so you can edit the pages/app. Then we added other needed things.

Commercial low-code all use their own specific proprietary language that may not work for SEO and may not cross-compile to mobile.

Is it ready for use? INTUITION.DEV has already been used and tested in a commercial project that allows a market researcher to send and analyze surveys—and, everything works!

But documentation is lacking and may not be as smooth as other early-stage open source projects. At least you get the idea, and you can write a generator and then add WebAdmin editor and you have a decent productivity tool.

I started working on INTUITION.DEV after I was convinced that low-code tools in the hands of end users may make them more productive than a professional developer using currently popular approaches.

Happy to answer questions.

Being among the last of the University trained COBOL developers and having made my career during the client server era and the internet age I can personally attest to the complete accuracy of the author’s statements and I agree with his forecasts. The business people we tech’s work for are all about faster, cheaper and more effective systems that produce cost savings, revenue and increased organizational effectiveness. Low code tools that abstract away the complexities of the trade support these goals. I believe low code tool expertise to be of ever increasing significance to the developer as are data skills. AI or at least the ML component of it is completely dependent on good data and your ability to wrangle it.
