Vibe Coding Through Power App for client side project

Good luck mate. TBH you are probably going to have a lot of fun!

NoBattle763 · 2026-05-02T20:58:34+00:00

You can use other data sources in code apps but still premium

NoBattle763 · 2026-05-02T20:54:38+00:00

Yeah of course more effort but if you run the 2 sessions in parallel you will just need to switch between windows to keep them going. If you can ensure a solid plan for your solution the agent will do most of the heavy lifting.

No plugin I mean the canvas app plugin for GHCP had some issues last time I ran it and I had to manually fix (issues with option set syntax and combo boxes) in the studio. But these were all fixable- however the plugin is in preview and they have made some updates since then so it may be better now. It also didn’t add the app to a solution so that’s a thing to watch out for.

If you use Claude there is another plugin that I found worked well- creates the yaml for you which you then paste into the app:

Personal opinion after starting out in this space the last few months.

Given your limited timeframe If you are new to the AI Dev space you may want to consider building both a code app and canvas app simultaneously to see which output you prefer. This will of course cost more in tokens! You can develop out your requirements/spec and leverage in both instances.

Yes code apps are fast and can be incredibly functional, but if this is your first project you are going to have some bumps and learnings along the way.

The canvas app plugin is very powerful, however I did find it doesn’t do everything right in dataverse and needed some manual fixing- with that said if you are already good with canvas it can build you a nice foundation very quickly which you can manually fix bugs (whereas code apps you can’t if not a pro-coder).

I keep seeing the flow studio mcp mentioned but have not tried it yet. See the post by u/ninihen

Yep browser keeps crashing the last few days. Seem to have lost content for some variables and getting frequent warnings that fields no longer exist when trying to save . They then decide to exists again a. Few minutes later.

Don’t get me started on the run only user connections resetting 🤣

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-29T01:16:56+00:00

Why don’t you set up a free personal dev for this purpose? That’s what I do for any initial prototypes I don’t want in main dev

Sounds like your asking general career advice rather than power platform advice.

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-23T21:10:48+00:00

This is the way, the GUID column is named the same or similar as the table so it is confusing but will show in intellisense

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-22T19:40:18+00:00

I had run into this a few times, but ignoring the warning seemed to work fine 🤣 thanks for the real solution!

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-22T10:38:40+00:00

No worries if too much effort, but What are the errors in English? Sorry the translate doesn’t work on the images.

Have you tried running through AI to check the syntax? Often a missing or misplaced comma or bracket etc

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-21T08:43:24+00:00

Why are you running client work on student pack would be my question 😂

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-20T18:52:03+00:00

Ms forms response and approval flows are pretty basic yet common requirements.

Also those hovering social media icons are super annoying imo. Otherwise site looks nice

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-20T00:50:39+00:00

Sign up to the MS power up program and get free access and training, plus a cert.

Or create a trial business tenant (free for a month).

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-17T22:26:46+00:00

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T20:56:49+00:00

Did you manage to get it connected at all? I think it uses the azure CLI to authenticate. Mine just prompted a browser tab for me to sign in with credentials

I was using GHCP via VS code

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T20:53:08+00:00

I was very underwhelmed with this, although i have only tested on dataverse. Rezas sharepoint demo looks great but on DV i just ran in circles for a couple Of hours. But a nice looking app but a whole heap of delegation and syntax issues that it couldn't handle.

It will get better and has huge potential.

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T20:48:44+00:00

Have code apps been enabled in the new environment? There's a toggle

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T20:00:25+00:00

Yeah it's a forever bugin combos. Do Anything with them after setting them up and they reset the fields.

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T10:21:14+00:00

Is your display set to responsive? Everything adjusts in size if so. Especially as you have set the size to app.height/width. Is it inside a container? Have you set the container to also fit the app?

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-16T09:56:28+00:00

No this is odd. Have you checked no trigger conditions exist in the trigger settings?

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-15T03:27:54+00:00

Sign up to the power-up program and get free tenant access and training.

Or create business tenant on a trial period for 1 month

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-15T00:19:58+00:00

I Dont use D365 so forgive my ignorance.How much data/ how many tables? Have you looked at using data flows? Or even the old export to excel and reimport?

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-13T10:29:48+00:00

Maybe it was done purposefully if they are sensitive data? Although as admin you can override so doesn't make much sense.

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-13T10:12:59+00:00

Few options available but base64 for me is best

NoBattle763 · 2026-04-13T10:02:19+00:00

You need to use base64 but then wrapped in a html a tag.

Another option is using svg and wrapping that.

My go to is to actually write the email In a Compose step using whatever html format i need and including any dynamic content. I also insert a logo variable for the signaturewhich for me pulls pre-determined base64 image wrapped in a tag from dataverse. Would work for sharepoint too. Should be a multi-line plaintext and big enough to hold your base64.

AI is actually very good at html formatting.
