With the no/low-code space exploding, platforms are more powerful than ever. These platforms are incredibly capable of cutting time, effort, and the expertise required to build complex applications and services. Let’s cover some of these platforms, and highlight their strengths and differences.
We’ll be covering Adalo, Glide, and Canonic in this article.
Adalo is an intuitive platform to build full fletched applications on both web and mobile devices. It almost feels like using a design and prototyping tool but to build actual production applications.
When starting, different templates and samples make it easy to get started.
The entire application is defined using a component-driven design system. Each screen is composed of different components linked to its data sources. Interactions can be controlled as well to trigger transitions to other screens, send notifications, etc.
Adalo has basic support for configuring data sources. You can either create your tables and their schemas on Adalo, or link to other data sources by making custom API calls using their request builder. However, there’s no support yet to add custom business logic or code to create custom APIs.
