Congrats on the launch! My favorite task management tool — We’ve been using it since early days for more than a year and very happy with it, especially with how responsive Sigurd and Kevin have been. It really gets out of the way when making work items and makes it easy to have team discussions around these. Highly recommended !
Hi pchal. We've often been surprised with how flexible Lowdefy is. One can easily build everything from simple websites, public webforms, to complex multi-tenant web apps - which is very exciting.
We decided to limit what we currently market it as to first try and get some traction in a smaller niche for now. However, since resources are limited for an early days startup, we also made this decision based on the following technical considerations.
When designing internal tools, the aesthetics often takes less priority than functionality, thus it's ok and maybe even great if most internal tools look the same, which makes building a great component library a whole lot easier. Also for internal tools you mostly have repeat users, so browser caching helps a lot and thus we can be more lenient on bundle size. When building consumer apps aesthetics and load time is often a high priority, although we have a few ideas to improve on this as well in the future when we have more resources available.
However, if you are building an app where these two constraints is not a high priority, Lowdefy can be a great fit! We really tried to design config schema which can really scale as well.
As far as auth goes, that number 1 on our roadmap. We will be adding OAuth/OpenId Connect authentication, and then you will be able to use services like Auth0, Okta, or any OAuth provider.
We plan on providing our own user service, with group based user authorization that will integrate easily with Lowdefy apps, and offer different pricing tiers to support the needs of business users and SAAS apps.
These are great tools but are there any nice iOS apps to quickly take a photo of a physical book page , and with OCR produce a text page that I can highlight, and send highlights to Roam (which I use a lot).
Some books are much better experienced in physical form, e.g I would hate to read Rian Hughes’ XX on a kindle :)
Interesting effort. Does it snapshot the state of source code at the time an experiment is run? Does it do it without requiring a git commit? I believe the Replicate experiment tracking tool does this.
We have got similar requests couple of times and its in the pipeline. Currently focused on the comparison of 1000s of metrics/training runs. It's a serious challenge both on the Ui and on the storage end.
Inviting you to the Aim [slack channel](https://slack.aimstack.io/).
We would love to learn more about such use cases and why they are important.
