Composer Pro — Visual development platform for making enterprise-grade apps
Featured

Composer Pro is a visual platform to craft React Native and React web-based apps of any complexity, with zero compromises in app quality or sophistication compared to traditional coding. And it’s free forever for indie devs and small companies (<$10M revenue).

I've been following this space for a while, its really exciting to see what you are doing along with players like Builder.ai and Draftbit. I'll definitely give AppGyver a try for my next project. Are you able to export the react native code itself for further editing in VS Code etc?
Harri Sarsa
@evomoore we want to always keep the project editable in the visual builder, so the approach is that you can bring in your ReactNative/ReactJS code as custom plugins, so that it becomes a component that you can use alongside the other things. This feature is currently in closed beta and should be available publicly in the coming weeks.
Evan Moore
@harsa_ Got it, that makes sense. I think the component marketplace angle is incredibly interesting. You guys could be the Shopify for native apps!

@evomoore @harsa_ Can you export the generated code?
Harri Sarsa
@evomoore @rayliverified we've got a feature in the AppGyver Black plan where a compilable Xcode/Android Studio/ReactJS code snapshot of the project can be exported, but since most of the app-specific logic is machine-generated code, developing it further by hand is not very viable. There's an RND track to produce actual good quality React Native/ReactJS projects out of the visual app descriptor config, but for now, the focus is on making the SaaS experience as good as possible.

Looks great! What are the hosting limits? Are databases limited to 1000 rows?
Marko Lehtimaki
@rayliverified no hosting limits for sites built with free plan

@youngkasix I took a look at the documentation and I understand a bit more about how they claim to offer everything for free. Any storage capabilities are "hobby" only and not intended for production use. https://docs.appgyver.com/tutori...
Harri Sarsa
@youngkasix @rayliverified to clarify, if you connect to your own backend, there are no limitations – the app binary or statically deployed web app do not even connect to AppGyver servers in any way. The AppGyver Cloud Storage for hobby use is simply intended to help users move faster before setting up a production-grade backend (which again can be anything that provides a REST API for access). We do have plans for a separate Backend-as-a-Service product, where the visual development paradigms are applied to data storage, integrations, authentication, services and so on, but that's coming a bit later. I hope this clarifies our position!

This looks great. I will give it a try.

Hey PH. We’re so excited to announce our brand new product, Composer Pro. We’ve been working behind the scenes for the last four years with our enterprise customers, building and re-building Composer to make our vision of true visual app development a reality. For the first time, junior developers and even non-coders get the superpowers to become full-stack developers that can finish multi-platform app projects by themselves. Also, senior software engineers can now just focus on the mission-critical and challenging tasks of their project, instead of writing boring and time-consuming boilerplate code. Composer Pro is stacked with new features, from wide multi-platform support (iOS, Android, mobile and desktop web, macOS, Android TV to start with) and live preview to features such as Excel-like formula functions for data transformation, 100+ native APIs, built-in data integrations, user authentication and much more. Any development platform lives or dies by the strength of its community, and our component marketplace is at the core of the platform. This is the first visual development platform to embrace the open-source movement: users can extend any part of the platform, share what they’ve created and build on the contributions of others. We’re psyched to see what you’ll come up with We’ve decided to offer this product for free to individual users, startups, small companies, NGOs and schools so that everyone out there can unleash their potential and build professional apps, all without writing a single line of code, but with all the power of programming. Take it for a spin and let me know what you think. - Harri (Chief Product Officer at AppGyver) P.S. Read about Composer Pro in TechCrunch here: https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/0...
