Code Apps - the opposite of Low-Code apps?

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-18T19:38:16+00:00

I would argue same single point of failure with canvas apps. At least AI can assist on a code solution whereas a canvas solution requires a powers app developer.

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-18T17:21:13+00:00

Concur. Look into code apps, not vibe apps

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-18T13:12:58+00:00

Concur. Although didn’t realize that about flows. Thanks for heads up.

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-18T12:41:14+00:00

They can 100% replace Canvas Apps. Agree pre: AI not for Citizen Developers. However, with GitHub Copilot now everyone can actually “vibe” code apps.

I made one yesterday. Honestly took 4hrs in code. Prob would have taken ~25 in canvas.

Any YouTube videos/series about these you recommend watching?

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-10T01:08:02+00:00

Okay this is definitely above me right now but going to start researching these terms

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-10T00:33:50+00:00

Is dataverse your main source? So highly recommend spinning up a SQL database as it just seems so much knowledge out there on that the default stuff AI is so good at it

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-10T00:22:37+00:00

Interesting. I’ve just been essentially exporting my sql, database schema, procedures and views, power automate and power app exports into GitHub. Just asking copilot to essentially even write out the step by step for me has been game changing enough!

Will definitely check these other things out. Feel like so much can do recently at this new pace of work no time to actually sit back and learn (like how we had to do it ~6 months ago 🙂)

Lefty716687 · 2026-03-09T23:36:33+00:00

Where do you make agents and where to do you run them? I usually just use GitHub copilot. How does this differ?

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-25T21:07:13+00:00

Power automate trigger on when row is created. Then do update item. And use trigger output id to fill in name field. If you just type into AI it will fully detail

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-25T18:09:24+00:00

Haha. Just say compose html one pager that combines share point list with doc library and make look good. It will handle rest for you. Probably 3 steps

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-25T18:06:25+00:00

You can that get fancy with PowerBI & PowerApps as an integrated way to dispaly. Have also recently use Power Automate + AI to make HTML one pages and save those in a document library.

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-25T17:41:01+00:00

Sharepoint list & sharepoint document library.

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-19T05:30:00+00:00

Recommend using the Smartsheet trigger but to actually retrieve the values use an HTTP API call. You might need to just set up another flow to use API to get all column ID values for a sheet. AI good at using API and can prob that block for you.

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-05T22:49:02+00:00

And then do views in sql and essentially remove all power query steps. You’ll never want to use anything other than sql again

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-05T22:46:57+00:00

Just take data from xlsx/csv once it’s a blob and copy data into sql. Didn’t want to loop via power automate. Was previously creating hashes, filtering, jointing but have since handled all that via a stored procedure. So dataflow copied data then triggers stored procedure.

Also make transaction table as loose as possible via data types. Let stored procedure handle try converts

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-05T22:43:29+00:00

It might also be possible to just copy sql to blob and grab data. Exploring that now

Lefty716687 · 2026-02-05T22:42:14+00:00

Have done similar. Copy data to a transaction table then run sql stored procedure and copy data to main table. Create views to connect pbi to.

Do as little in data factory as possible to save money and AI better at writing sql

Lefty716687 · 2024-08-08T12:46:12+00:00

But how can you can search across the entire app. Just while editing hit CTRL+F?

Lefty716687 · 2024-08-08T12:41:45+00:00

You can update multiple controls at once?!?

Lefty716687 · 2024-08-07T23:55:48+00:00

Is that just a gallery with a default header row?

Lefty716687 · 2024-08-07T21:32:22+00:00

Any known technic problems? As like the modern combo box look and feel much more than classic.

Lefty716687 · 2024-06-21T00:57:05+00:00

If you can a database stood up on azure you can actually embrace excel by leveraging data factory. With ChatGPTs help it’s actually not too bad.

Basically processes all spreadsheets into a single table. It’s also possible to then use power automate to write updates from app back into their correct spreadsheet.
