#262I built something similar many years back. Mine was web based: https://github.com/GWBasic/ObjectCloud What I would tell my younger self is to spend more time reading through YC's resources about how to start a business. In my case, I built something that I thought there was a need for; but I should have spent a lot more time iterating off of tangible customer needs. IE, I should have found a handful of customers who…
Sorry I replied a little late, but thanks for the advice.

#263I think this has a lot of potential for non-technical knowledge users. At Google and Microsoft, files are available throughout the ecosystem. If I understand correctly, Nino makes the data within files available throughout the ecosystem. This is a fundamentally different workflow. Google and Microsoft seem to have disparate teams working on their ecosystem. Their products work in a system, but not as a system. There'…
That's correct. Thanks for coming up with a new way to explain it!

Nino's workflow is on my "technology wishlist"!
I study systems and system dynamics. The technology we have is capable of so much more, but so little of it works as a system. Nino is a step in the right direction. Imagine a standard for sharing data between apps like Nino!
Nino faces an uphill battle in competing with Google, Microsoft, and other ecosystems baked into our lives. I really want it to succeed so I can use it, but the paths to success are few. One possible failure mode has an opportunity: using your experience gained and organizational momentum to create the standard for app interoperability like Nino.

#265Earlier quoted context omitted.
The problem with modern development is having to nail down the data model first. I wish we would develop software where the data model could easily change. To do this every data dependency in the system needs to traceable. Nothing does this so far. And everyone just picks a database off the shelf but none are even remotely useful for this.
I'd rather the data model be designed properly upfront so that it doesn't need to change, but can be extended with new functionality.
This is impossible.

#266Can I have formula (the Excel kind of formula that do computation) from everywhere in doc, slide, notebook, form, site, etc.?
It's similar to the demo in the home page of https://patera.io/

#267Delete account option?! I checked it out but not interested, what now? This should be the first "feature" made available.

#268A map module would be greatly appreciated by me.

#269Initial impression after a few minutes of use: there may be a huge amount of power here, but the app and site seem to be completely lacking guidance and I've no idea what to do or how to learn. I've installed it on my Mac and am trying to add a set of records representing contacts with a couple of basic fields: name, phone, birthdate. I want to query those records elsewhere in other modules. The app is giving no guid…
I honestly found it pretty intuitive. Every module uses the same basic action-flow, which was super clever UI design on the creator's part
