Thoughts and Opinions on AirDev

Hi @DavidHalmai,
I've completed the professional bootcamp last Dec too.

I'm actually wondering about this too, not about the price, I honestly think is cheap, given all it gives you.

Wondering about what to use for my next project Canvas VS Frames ($20/month):

Just subscribed to Frames to have a look but compared to Canvas it is pretty much naked. It has layouts, components... but they don't come with defined styles, nor states (onhover, onclick, disabled...). Neither comes with workflows and all the rest.

I don't think there’s anything as comprehensive as Canvas around. As you know, it'll saves you tons of time since you don't need to worry much about views and basic behavors. So you focus instead on data and logic.

For instance, just think about the work of doing the signup flow from scratch, with forgot password, reset password, send welcome email... etc, or do the Header from scratch... or just the styles for each component...

That's what I'm facing with Frames and it's taking aaageeees...

What I don't like about Canvas tough is that it is too much, it tries to solve every possible need, so there're too many workflows, variables, validations etc that I'd never use. That's deadweight that makes my apps slow

Pricewise, I think is cheap, if you're serious about building fast, if you care about performance and experience over dev speed, better start from scratch or use some lightweight framework/library like Frames

What have you finally decided? how is it working for you?
