We have developed a simple application schema that is easy to understand, write, remember and of course version control. Yet, flexible enough to create UIs that require advanced logic. This makes it easy to learn how to write applications and easier to maintain consistency from one application to the next.
Lowdefy only provides the application layer and connects to your external data sources or APIs, allowing you to access data where it is stored.
Lowdefy uses webpack module federation as a micro-frontend strategy to load blocks on demand. This enables developers to further extend the functionality by building custom Lowdefy blocks.
Our story:
We have been building Lowdefy since May 2019, and have been using it internally for client software projects since January 2020. We planned to sell it as a SaaS product but decided that an open-source approach is more in line with our ultimate vision for Lowdefy.
Why open-source?
It is important for us that our clients are not locked into a single provider when building a tool.
Building a community and trust is one of our primary objectives, since Lowdefy apps can be shared and open-sourced with ease, we hope to see many open-source Lowdefy apps in the future.
On our roadmap:
We plan to monetize Lowdefy by providing optional, nice-to-have services, that integrate well and empower the community.
