Build Apps with Automated Workflows

Hacker News

Hey HN! We [1] just released a new thing: http://tines.com/product/build-apps. tl;dr – it's a way to build simple-but-slick web apps that are powered by API automation behind the scenes, without writing code. No code? It's because our traditional users are technical-but-not-engineer types like Security Analysts and IT Managers. So this new way of building front-end experiences follows that lead. But as a more technical maker myself, I've been really surprised at how well this works and scales, and we’re seeing teams like Engineering and DevOps increasingly adopt also. I think maybe it's because us software people most intimately understand the long-term/hidden costs of code… maintaining, bug-fixing, deployment, etc. Anyway, If you’d like to check it out… 1. there's a usable version of a demo app mid-way down the page above, and then clicking the "How was this built?" button shows you the equivalent of source-code, i.e. the visual automation underpinning everything. 2. we have a forever-free tier, which you can sign up for here and play around for real: https://www.tines.com/sign-up I’d love to hear any and all feedback! We love a good dose of HN-style tough love, which we certainly received our fair share of last time we surfaced here :-) [2] - Stephen --- [1]: Tines – no code automation [2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30249518
