Show HN: AppMaker – Build business apps with AI, visual editing and code

TL;DR

AppMaker is a new tool for building business apps such as CRMs, dashboards and internal tools with AI, its developer announced on Hacker News. The developer stresses that it is no classic low-code platform: alongside AI generation it offers a visual editor and direct access to the code. Each app comes with a database, authentication and backend logic and can be exported as a standalone Node. js application.

Nauti's Take

Exporting a standalone Node. js app is a clear advantage because you are never locked into the platform.

The risk: the tool is in beta, and database and authentication work hinges on security details that generated code often misses. Small teams can use it to test internal prototypes quickly, while anything touching customer data needs a code review first.
