  I'm interested to build something like this too. Would you open source it so we can collaborate? It's surprising how few OSS alternatives exist for low-code programming.

    I'd love to chat more. How can we connect? You can find me on Twitter in my profile.

  Why not just allow users to generate the app from a spreadsheet? Right now it seem cumbersome to create a 'model' within Webase...

    That is a great suggestion! If we allowed a CSV import we could easily decipher a flat data model.

  I'm going to need to see photos of the finished treehouse before we go any further.

    Ha! :-)

    The latest iteration of the treehouse includes rails that make it much much safer for children!!

  what database are you using on the backend? Can people directly query it with SQL?

    Webase uses MongoDB for the dynamic data layer so currently we aren't using SQL or allowing direct queries. We may add that in the future if there is demand, but to start we are focused on non-SQL type users.
