NoCode tool to build admin dash

Hi all,

I am looking for a tool that will help me lower the initial cost for building a dashboard like admin tool for my project. The database I use is Firestore so it has to integrate with Firebase and has to have login and Google sign-in possibilities. I experimented with Bubble a bit but found it difficult to integrate it with Firebase, otherwise is nice tool. Also, ideally it should be able to use precreated HTML for the pages but
it's not critical even without it.

Is there any tool that comes in mind to recommend for such requirement?

    Sounds like @Gabe's https://divjoy.com/ might be an interesting option for you as well.

        Let me know if I can answer any questions or help get you setup.

          very nice @Gabe, will give it a try for the weekend!

      well technically the tool I need this for is not an internal tool. Is part of the public product and to be accessed by 'admin' users that will be managing another set of users with a different role. Thanks, will give it a look, the product itself looks smooooth. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

    Below are a couple Bubble resources to help you get it done in Bubble. It will take some work to get it done, but thats a part of the fun! Or just pay someone to do it ;)

    Firebase & Bubble: https://forum.bubble.io/t/firebase-storage-plugin/73843

    Sign in with Google, maybe this one: https://forum.bubble.io/t/oauth-like-user-agent-flow-but-theres-no-user-endpoint-how-to-configure-actually-self-handled-authorization-for-oauth-apis-offline-access-on-behalf-of-user/43827/17
    or this one:

      wow. That Dashboard Template ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ So nice! On a first look Bubble is so nice, I just fear that the time I invest in learning it will be same as learning React for instance (as I am a developer already). I hope that is just wrong feeling and assumption I have.

        Possibly. Not being a coder I can't comment specifically on that, but depending on the exact functionality you need from Bubble there will be a varying length of a learning curve.
        And thanks!

    Don't know if it fits your requirements, but I once created an automation flow to visualize data from firebase in google datastudio. It required pulling data from the firebase table to Bigquery (google has an easy to configure plugin) and then setting up bigquery as a data source in datastudio. I find that datastudio is very powerfull as a data visualisation and yet easy to build in. It will also give you google sign-in out of the box. Let me know if it interest you, I can give more info.

    Bubble seems like your best bet here. Even though it may be difficult, everything should be possible within Bubble. I don't see another (easier) platform to build this on.

      Another issue I noticed is that the learning curve for more complex apps seems to be matching the one to learn a new technology.

      Thanks for your input, will reconsider writing the app traditionally.
