I'm one of the founders of Abstra, a hackable no-code tool focused on making MVPs quickly aimed at coders (not necessarily developers).

Could you please share some feedback? Anything is extremely valuable, thanks!

Would you please provide other means of joining abstra, other than just google?

Hello, nice looking product and great copy. 2 points:

1. Make your screenshots english too, keeping the code structure and copy consistent. Unless you want to highlight i18n. But seeing Portuguese and English mixed sticks out to someone like me with a mildly severe case of OCD.

2. Can you mention the language I can use to hack or export the source code in? I assume it’s javascript but spelling it out at least once on the frontpage seems appropriate.

Good luck with it!

Hi, this looks really cool - slick UI and clear value proposition. Great job!

Just a couple of questions:

1) why the emphasis on “for MVPs”? It seems like it can be used to build a proper product long term. Adding “for MVPs” make it seem like end users should expect to redo whatever they’ve done if they get any traction.

2)How does this compare to Retool (or how do you intend to differentiate it)?

First of all I have no coding background.

I like creating projects so I find the no-code movement very valuable.

Abstra seems like a low-code to me. Maybe that is what you mean "hackable no-code"? (edit: you mention low-code in your landing page) If that's the case, and since the lingo in the no/low-code movement is already established, maybe it's better to use it so people have a better understanding of what they can do with your platform, faster.

Trying to create a project fast, I can quickly understand there is a learning curve required. At least steeper than other platforms. It would be very valuable if the first thing that happens when I log in for the first time is a walkthrough. Also, give some pre-made templates so people can modify those to their need. And by doing that they will learn the platform.

First impression is that I don't quickly understand if what I can create with abstra is websites, Saas, mobile apps, etc.

-All the best!
