Where is the AI ? I thought it would be some tool which uses program synthesis.
Dry.io wants to democratize software development using AI

#82Despite the (predictable) skepticism, there are some real enterprise use-cases for something like this being served by similar "self-serve" tools. I'd be willing to take a look.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
I believe that you are not the target audience here. Isn't the point of dry.io that a business analyst can replace a developer? :)
Isn't the point of dry.io that a business analyst can replace a developer? :) Only within the set of predefined functionality that can be specified in the dry.io JSON config file. If you want anything outside of that you'll still need a developer. I guess it's possible dry.io will have thousands of components that covers 90% of what each and every app does eventually, but until then most people who try it will bump u…
It's a reasonable concern.
Many apps we won't be able to handle at first can easily be handled by our approach with more work.
For some capabilities, we will have ways of filling gaps in the platform. We have some easy-to-use and fairly flexible hooks where you can add a lot of UI customization. We've also discussed mechanisms for catching events in dry and triggering external code developers can write. But that's almost certainly not going to make v1.

I'd be happy to hear more about these use cases you have in mind, either here or over email.
Re: Dry.io wants to democratize software development using AI
#85There are a couple points to be made on this.
1. This is less of a "AI" issue, more of a UI/UX for specialized tools issue. Dreamweaver comes to mind especially; the moment you are trying to get something that can be flexible and accommodate different needs it is mostly about learning the tools. Often, the result is that learning the tool itself is almost harder than learning to code.
2. Any code that you generate via AI will most probably be crap. A huge part of coding is making it understandable and easy to touch later on; how can you do this without AI that has a proper understanding of the worlds (probably on the level of a AGI).
