I first used my Google account to sign up using my phone, but decided to switch to desktop halfway through the onboarding process. It was then impossible to login because:
"Email ID not registered."
It was also impossible to register because:
"An account already exists for this email address."
I started a new free trial using another Google account.
I tried to add my REST API as a data source, but I had to initialize it with an endpoint that returned some entities. My base endpoint ('/parse') does not do this. Therefore it seems like I need to add a new connector for every API resource I have ('/parse/classes/Dog' etc).
I added a table and hooked it up to the data connector I made earlier, but despite using a previously configured connector I had to re-configure authorization headers etc. Inbuilt pagination was nice.
I clicked "Test&Finish", everything looked alright but the table in the designer did not update. After spending a few minutes trying to figure out what went wrong I tried the play button and it seems like it worked all along, just that the data changes is not reflected in the designer. That kinda ruins the WYSIWYG aspect of it.
I figured I should try one of the templates to see how a real DronaHQ app can be. It seemed to me like DronaHQ can do more complex apps than the two others. I tried the Dashboard template. It had a bunch of filter options, but nothing happened when I clicked on them.
Overall it looks like DronaHQ is more ambitious than the others. But the bugs really needs to be ironed out.
Thanks for sharing your experience @cerebralcerb .
I can understand for first time user playing around with new tool can be daunting.
e.g. there is a small notification on top of Table which highlights that "below is sample data, to view your real data that you bind. Plz go to preview mode"
But these feedbacks encourages the team to smoothen the experience further.
Yes, you are correct the platform is capable of creating quite complex apps too. We have many operational tools built on it by IT and business teams alike.
Thanks again for taking time to share your feedback.
