      @potemkin_ai good to know

      No I didn't find a good alternative to Budibase, which is why I am not against it at all.

      There are a couple, but grey hair is that I can't recall names just now.

      I started to look at Flutter as development environment, but have had to break from it for a while.

        @potemkin_ai in terms of open source alt to Budibase the only other one is GrapesJS IMO - although it is pretty different.

        For my current development platform I use Wappler.io its not open source but it is very rich in features. Can generate static html sites and drop them into surfer or can leverage LAMP and use PHP for dynamic sites. It also has a nodeJS option but I have yet to package an app for cloudron.

            @potemkin_ai I think Budibase is much more than GrapesJS or form/page designers, it offers good CRUD functionality and is true NoCode/LoCode. It does bring together very nicely the UI front-end building and the back-end DB functionality in one system.

            Maybe you can combine a front-end builder with something Directus or Parse (or https://www.back4app.com/).

            I noticed this https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet but haven't tried it. You could look at https://www.saashub.com/100-plus-no-code-resources-alternatives or https://www.nocodedevs.com/ncd-tools for many others, but often quite niche, not as open/flexible as Budibase.

            But sadly still cannot recall the one I find which was closer to Budibase. Maybe inspiration will strike.

            If you can live with the invited-user model of Budibase, it is exceptional. Maybe a 2 step process which allows for a previously unknown user to sign-up with simple form, which then generates a Budibase app user invitation could be a work-around.

            Although note that once a user is registered into a Budibase deployment, they get a login to a 'portal' of apps they are permissioned for. Very powerful but the user journey may not be what you want.

              @potemkin_ai : I think JoGet was the one I was thinking of
              https://www.joget.org/product/

              Not as slick as Budibase but interesting

              Or possibly https://www.rintagi.com/

                @potemkin_ai : I also played with https://github.com/saltcorn/saltcorn / https://saltcorn.com/

                It's similar in concept to Budibase, but lighter weight.

                I liked it but stopped experimenting when I found that it was easy to 'hack' page links because they were fully exposed in the browser url (could edit the url and go to a page you were probably should not). Maybe they have changed this as it seems in ongoing development and I tried it >1 yr ago.

                          Hi Joe;
                          I'm very pleased to see you in the Cloudron community;
                          for me BudiBase is a serious challenger, and even better, to Notion and ClickUp.
                          I can't wait to host it on my Cloudron.

                            Can I use this app to build a one-page html "responsive" site? If not, what would you recommend?

                            Currently, using Wordpress but it's an overkill for a static page.

                              Personally I think Budibase would be overkill for that.
                              I would look at Ghost or Grav if you want an interface to building and posting content.
                              Or just a Surfer or LAMP app with a free HTML template (thousands available, but look at https://html5up.net or https://pixelarity.com/) if you're ok with coding a page

                                @timconsidine I'm using Ghost for my personal blog but haven't figured out how to build a static page without knowing how to code.

                                Ideally, I'm looking for a page builder (think Elementor, WP Bakery, etc.) that I can use to build a static html page then save the project so I can easily modify things in the future. It looks like Grav fits the bill. Thanks for the recommendation!

                                  @humptydumpty if your target page is going to be fairly static (not regular content changes), you could look at https://grapesjs.com which allows you to 'scaffold' out a page with drag'n'drop components.
                                  Then copy/paste the built page (use the View Code button to download an HTML file and a CSS file) into something like Surfer (here on Cloudron) or a LAMP instance.

                                        What happened to this? Was someone here packaging it? Something we can help with?

                                        I can see it, at a minimum, being a useful tool for creating web forms.

                                            @marcusquinn it's not good for forms to be completed by the public/unregistered users, as I understand it.
                                            It's a good system, but it's aimed at a "portal" type deployment, users to be registered by admin or invited by email.
