Do you have a way to turn off your automatic telemetry? It seems like one of the first things the UI does is send a bunch of info back to Sentry. It also appears that the email verification works by passing the email straight on to one of your servers, instead of my own SMTP setup, which is promptly blocked by my spamfilter. EDIT: Limit on the password of 20 characters? It's hashed anyway right, who cares? More Edit:…

Hey Aeolun: illa-builder@1.3.6 is here! NEW: · Add sentry address configuration. Sentry will only start with the configuration. Improvements: 1. No longer limit the length of the password 2. Stop pushing the misleading message when the users create new resources during self-hosting 3. Routing optimization. There will be no more infinite loop 4. WebSocket improvement

Hey, fast-try/illacloud, I know this is petty, but, if you mess with history and make it impossible for me to back out of your web page (by clicking the back button), I will immediately assume you are a untrustworthy company, and I will never return later to make an account. I hate this practice, it's rude, it shows contempt for your users (in this case future-users), and its one of the many dark UI patterns that is…

hey Sambeau: We just updated a new version and I believe most of the issues you mentioned were fixed. NEW: · Add sentry address configuration. Sentry will only start with the configuration.

I've been curious why so many of these low-code dev tools target enterprise/business with internal apps. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

We have been looking to replace our FE devs with a low-code tool, but haven't found any that will suit complex authentication, permissions, and global theming (per client). I expect these internal tools will mature and come out with next-gen Bubble.io type of tools in a few years.

Hey, thx for replying here. We will update the permissions features soon. For complex authentication and global theming, could you pleas elaborate on your thoughts in our Discord community if you like? We would love to solve some problems you are facing with our tool if possible.

Hey, some quick feedback from trying the demo. It feels like you're trying to generate sales leads for the cloud service by making me create an account just to try it. I'm not super familiar with the competition, so maybe your market is focused on people looking for alternatives, but having to register for an account just to see the demo was more than I was willing to go through. The kicker for me was when the opt-in…

Gotcha! We will enhance it asap and keep you posted! Thx for trying our product here.

IMHO developers who publish their software as open source but actually making it difficult to use their open source version , is doing them a disservice , because the first user experience itself is that of a feeling of deceit and is less than ideal. For example this one says there are docker components available for self hosting but it is clear the developers did not put as much heart into the open source version as…

thx for sharing your idea. We will upfront the difference between the opensource and commercial versions.
