Low-code dev tools checklist, Red Flags, LC Options to consider

[Curry Kenworthy]

Low-code dev tools:

- free demo version is standard.
- crowded market already.
- user pricing bubble will face cooling inflation/novelty.
- belated adoption trend, not brand new technology.
- middle class business growth will favor savvy pricing/terms.

I am still recuperating; not hunting/testing yet.
Not in a rush. When I do....

My Low-code checklist:

- free demo version, no time limit.
- reliable, stable, Low-code done right.
- savvy pricing/terms for versatile projects and clients.
- smart privacy and security options.
- very low hassle and busywork, for myself or clients.
- user pricing targeting affordable end user's pricing.
- welcoming diverse ideas and input, with honest answers.
- full well-thought FAQ.

And when using Self-hosted or local data:

- unlimited users, or very cheap/versatile.
- easy no tracking and enhanced privacy/security options.
- no app kill switch.

Red Flags/Things to avoid:

- app kill switch.
- stubborn tracking requirements.
- audits, busywork, paperwork, snooping, pseudo bureaucracy.
- invalidates other EULAs prematurely.
- tedious user management or data busywork.
- naive or hostile groupthink, favoritism, contradictions.

LC Options to consider:

- LiveCode Create + tweaks for better pricing/terms/privacy.
- LiveCode Community/OpenXTalk + other Low-code dev tool.

Not interested in:

- webinars, live Q&A, videos, inefficient processes.
- frequent 'one time only/last chance' promotions.

Glad to see Low-code dev tools adoption trend - it's about time!
And ... Glad to finally post my follow-up thoughts; Delayed by illness.

Best wishes,
