I used to be a programmer (HTML/CSS/JS/ASP/ASP.net 2.0/C#/SQL) but moved to management/requirements definition about 12 years ago. So I can hold a conversation about full stack programming but clearly things have moved on dramatically since I was really in the game at a code level. Logic flows and programatic concepts like loops and functions etc I'm ok with though, and code doesn't scare me - I'm just not proficient enough in current technologies to write an app from scratch.
I have an idea for a Plan B project, which I'd like to build an MVP for with as little financial outlay as possible. I'd like to build a web app wrapped in a mobile app (to take advantage of notifications, etc) that involves the following key requirements:
- user registration and login
- user submission of data via multi-step form/input journeys, stored in a database I would have direct access to, or at least be able to freely query
- user upload of images/videos to 3rd party storage platform, displayable/playable from within my app
- user search of data
- integration with publicly available APIs or upload of CSV data sources to feed things like available values in dropdown menus (e.g. "select your country from this list", etc)
- system triggered reminders to users via mobile app notifications and/or email, linking users to specific points in the app
I've looked at things like bubble.io coupled with Henry (https://bubblehacks.io/henry) but I wondered if anyone had suggestions or recommendations for platforms?
Things I know already:
- no code / low code solutions will never be as flexible as custom coded applications
- it would be hard to migrate to another platform or a custom app later as a bunch of my data and logic would be baked into a 3rd party service platform
If anyone has any experience or input I'd appreciate it.
