Building in Public. Open Source Visual Programming Language: Replace Bubble with 0 Lock-In
Hey Indiehackers! I am doing something I have not done to keep me on point. I am going to build Clickscript in public on the weekends + in my spare time. Clickscript is a passion project of mine I have let dwindle for the past few years. I hope building in public will allow me to get some eyes on it and keep me in check. Plus build something people actually want.
Clickscript is an open-source visual programming language. The idea is to replace Bubble, or anything like it with an open-source alternative that produces code with 0 lock-in.
Why? Right now no-code is that, no-code. This comes with major lock-ins and more importantly, for someone like me that uses both, silos no-coders from coders. I think something like Clickscript where I would like it to eventually push to npm among other package managers, will allow no-coders and coders to work in harmony.
My first task at hand is to decide to move to Golang from Rust. Golang I am more familiar with but believe may be less equipped than Rust it is currently built with. Nothing against Rust, I actually want to use Rust to build more with is as I can use it. I am just not as familiar with it as Golang (I use Go almost everyday) however Rusts v8 libraries are better, since Deno builds them.
After that, I am going to finish building the backend workflow builder utilizing Appwrite as the backend.
Let me know what you guys are looking for or think is a flawed approach. Thanks!
