Maker: On Device Drag & Drop GUI Builder + External 3rd Party Plugins!

Posted by Unknown at 5:11 AM 0 comments

The PC isn't going away tomorrow but I think we took a major step in reducing the need for it when building some applications in the upcoming version of Maker. We just launched a very preliminary preview of our new Drag & Drop form designer for Maker. This is pretty rough early on, but having built quite a few GUI builders I can tell you that its 90% there! You can drag elements into place, yes they are all in a vertical layout (BoxLayout Y) and there is no container hierarchy (yet) but the infrastructure is there and its already looking better than our current GUI builder looked at that stage!

Most of my files are still on my laptop and not on my tablet or phone and moving them back and forth isn't convenient... Luckily we have Dropbox, this neat tool has really helped us collaborate as a startup and has made many painful things remarkably easy.

Cloud Object Viewer

Working with the Cloud Object API can sometimes be difficult. The data isn't tabular and understanding the concepts such as indexes and scopes for such objects is pretty hard.

To help alleviate this difficulty Chen built a tool right into the Codename One simulator that allows you to query the cloud storage for the current application and helps you review some of the complexities involved.
