No code backed ?
by
Menan
Is there any tool that lets me create a database that gets the data and populate data into webflow?
Could you hook Webflow up to a spreadsheet application via some type of "glue" application?
Spreadsheet apps = Airtable, Google Sheets, etc.
Glue apps = Zapier, Integromat, etc.
the glue application work well to push the data out. But hard to pull the data, query the data.
I think it would be better if there’s a way to create query in a graphical interface, choose the class name and tags where thE data for that query should be displayed.
For example, I would say I want all products for the user id in the query. Then Set it to display the product title in the p tag with class name product-title.
Then in webflow setup a p tag with the class.
I do this with Firebase and webflow, but I’m writing the custom needed code snippets to load and display the data, as well as save the data on creates and updates.
I might create a abstraction on top of Firebase. That lets you do it without be able to know how to code. So you can save data via forms and pull data into list view and normal view without needing to add code or use webflow CMS.
Will anyone be interested in this?
Hi Menan,
Chris here, founder of https://jetboost.io. If you’re able to build this and make it easy for no coders to use, I know A LOT of people that would be interested.
Shoot me a message if you wanna chat more about building for Webflow :)
Awesome let’s chat. Going to send you a email!
I've seen something called Cloud Canal that claims to be able to do this. I found it over on the Bubble forums, and the creator says you can use Cloud Canal to combine the Bubble backend capabilities with Webflow for the frontend. Might be worth checking out?
Can’t seem to find it can you link me to the forum?
Sure! Try this: https://forum.bubble.io/t/web-app-built-using-bubble-and-webflow/70759
Thanks!
I don't know about any, but this is a great idea btw!
If I built a tool that lets you do this. Save data and pull data(query), would you be interested in giving it a try? Being a test user?
I been looking for this, just gonna end up making it if I can’t find anything for myself.
Something like Cloud Canal looks ideal, but I’m not sure if it stores data too? Calling an api by adding data attributes to html elements couldn’t be simpler, I’m keen to see how this progresses. Sure the no/low coders will love this but so would designers & front-end devs!
Yes it’s quiet great - I think there’s still a lot missing in terms of adding even more functionality to these existing platforms.
The most two common ones being the database, custom api connections and testing custom code
Hey, I am definitely open to help you with some quick testing, although I am not your ideal customer since I built something like this in the past.
I was praising the idea because I finally found a real-world use case for the no code backend solution I built more than a year ago haha!
Haha okay cool, I’ll share it here once I build the first iteration to just get basic feedback!
