Offline No-Code/Low Code Navtive ios/Android App Builder Recommendations

Hi Mark and Team,

Thanks for all you do!

I know that support for an offline sync’d version of data has been on the roadmap for quite some time.

My use case is native ios/android app for my team that works in a no-service area.

I am at the point of deciding on the low-code/no code front end, and I wonder if you have any insight on which might “play well” with the intended backendless offline solution.

I am looking at convertigo on the low-code front, and thunkable on the no-code front, but am open to other platforms. I don’t want to spend time with a native app builder that won’t play well with the backendless offline solution, as I much prefer it to firebase, and I don’t know if a couchDB based solution would work.

Thanks for any insight on this!

Hi Will,

So the UI Builder is not even a contender?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark! I love UI builder, and would be glad to use it, but I need something that works fully offline on the phone… Is there a way to make that happen?

If that’s my best investment in time and UI builder is (going to be) offline capable, then full speed ahead for me on that.

I should mention as well that native barcode and QR code scanning is important for my application.
