Hey just found out about LowDefy by reading comments and I’m completely blown away by how you can build webapps just by using YAML

I’m definitely going to try this for one of my projects



Hi, yes often we are also really surprised. One could say its like writing a query, we took a lot of inspiration from MongoDBs query language. To understand how this is all possible, in short, react components just use props, so just a json tree should already get you to some app description. Then, you just need to express logic, recalculate and update. To find out how we express logic in yaml, how a look at Lowdefy operators -https://docs.lowdefy.com/operators Looking forward to seeing what you can build! Let us know if you need any help!


Just a heads up that your landing page is having trouble loading this asset on an otherwise good looking page:

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/js/3d627f4dd8e7eb6e7cc....

Lowdefy loading icon just dutifully hops up and down, left and right.


Hi. Thanks for letting me know! Fixed it. Was a A/B test that went wrong.


Sure definitely Thanks for replying btw :)
