I've been working with AppSheet for maybe a year now. Granted, it's very functional, and super easy to set up, adjust on the fly, and user-friendly for the most part. Many kudos there. However, I'm not as excited about the UI, and the inability to push to app marketplace from them. It would seem that this acquisition would help greatly with that, and in which case the future is bright.

Low-code is definitely an emerging paradigm that is going to be interesting over the next few years. It's going off the assumption that a large number of application use cases follow a basic MVC model. I suspect that assumption is correct. The pricing is a little high now, but compare that against the 10s of thousands of $$$ that you would spend on a developer and the loss of product vision playing the telephone game there. Increased adoption and optimizations on the back-end could reduce the price significantly.

?makers Seen this has joined the Google family since it first launched. Has much changed since then?

Market went from unbundling services and it has been going back to bundling services for the last couple of years.

I mean, who's moving _toward_ Google at this point?

This might be a game changer!

سلام

with absolutely no coding experience i built my first MVP in less than 3 months. cant recommend enough. if you have an idea try it out on appsheet

Glide has been around for a while. https://www.glideapps.com Even as somebody happy building my own apps, for certain types of app this approach makes a lot of sense. If the most popular programming paradigm in the world is "spreadsheets", there's clearly a market here. Shame Google has decided to muscle in.

Great job!

Lovely Addon to the google workspace :D
