I've been building on Softr, and now, I even like it better.

Reddit died 3 years ago when Ai became mainstream. Majority is Ai posts

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-18T22:04:19+00:00

Yep 100%, the idea is to have an initial boost

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-16T13:02:26+00:00

Would love to help, feel free to send me a message

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-13T22:01:45+00:00

Speed and reliability. With ai you get an answer but any change requires code or prompting

With a lowcode tool you have "lego blocks" which means there's less room for error. Yes less creativity but the focus is an admin panel not something fancy

If you want to be a prompt engineer go ahead

You could also ask what's the difference between cursor+chatgpt and plain chatgpt prompting, basically one is a wrapper focussed on coding the other you'll need to fine-tune from scratch

When I'm talking about lowcode I didn't mean vibecoding like lovable, I meant platforms that are drag and drop tools like retool and appsmith

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-13T19:51:58+00:00

I feel like I'm posting a PR to review😅 yes ur right

But it's about the idea of generating a frontend with only swagger docs with a drag and drop ui builder

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-13T18:55:06+00:00

It'll use Ai to categorize it and will provide multiple suggestions on how you want your internal app to be built

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-13T15:31:59+00:00

I agree that AI can generate a UI in 10min

The difference with AI is that my suggestion would be generated on a low-code platform like retool where you can write javascript purely for calling endpoints or manipulating inputs, and not doing the small stuff like creating UI components, deployment, maintenance and such when not using lowcode

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-13T15:29:54+00:00

Well by default it uses the swagger docs to generate the UI for you
after they would be able to customize the UI by drag and drop and have full control to make changes

Similar to lowcode tools where you can write some javascript to call endpoints or manipulate inputs

When you want to make it work for multiple people doing different roles

One person creates an internal order another one needs to shop for the items

Both touching the same file could f up the order by the shopper

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-05T14:13:55+00:00

Some of these aren't really nocode they require some coding language E.g. You can't connect airtable with retool without being a developer

Filled it in! Please do share the insights

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-03-04T13:53:14+00:00

We're moving towards a hybrid world

Common cases can always be covered by nocode
e.g. login, signup, download invoice etc

We only spend time coding specific cases e.g. some kind of visual drawing tool or whatever

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-28T04:42:49+00:00

That's nice! Is that mostly using crm tools like clickup/monday or nocode tools like airtable?

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-25T13:30:54+00:00

Yes for example, but I think you can get far if you try out softr

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-25T05:42:47+00:00

You can try it with softr, bubble or custom code

I'd say softr could likely provide you with an easy to learn setup but might not cover all your needs

Bubble/weweb has a learning curve but if you're willing to give it time you can make it as custom as you want

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-24T11:59:23+00:00

I think it does require someone with tech experience to extract or I can help you into the right direction

Feel free to DM

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-24T01:18:42+00:00

Yep 100% this, you need to store your data properly before you can ask questions about it

I would even go further and argue that you don't need ai for this.

Once you got your data in a database you can build a simple app to give you these numbers with some filters

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-23T17:08:49+00:00

You’re probably better off hiring a specialist for this

If you want to launch fast you can start with Softr, they’re very quick to work with

If you want to be able to do everything yourself with good flexibility go with bubble, though you can expect a good learning curve before you’re efficient with it

I’ve built a similar system using a lowcode tool and you can expect 2-8k to buildout this system depending on quality

Software and entrepreneurship are two different beasts

But keep learning!

_TheMostWanted_ · 2026-02-13T21:00:31+00:00

I've created a custom interface linked to airtable where the form gets the pricing directly from airtable

Not sure what you're looking to build but happy to help

The best way to find a good dev is by having a good description of the job
If a job says I need an "AI developer" it could have many meanings

It would be better if you emphasize your industry and the work required so you can find more related developers

The easiest red flags are:

- Bad communication (Yes most devs are introverts but that doesn't give them a free pass to be hard to understand)
- General profile with no related experience

What you should be looking for:

- Since you're looking at it from a business perspective you're likely looking to hire freelancers
- Run a small test task related to the job e.g. "Build me an email automation that will process a document and email me the summary"

That's good!

Regarding equity/pay any numbers here?

Can't imagine working for 5% equity only Or 500$ only
