What is UI Bakery?
Can you imagine building your internal app as your idea flows?
Meet UI Bakery – a visual internal tool builder tailored to save hours of development time. UI Bakery is created with a convention over configuration paradigm in mind. It allows you not to bother about default configuration. With the flexibility and evolving feature set, you can cover even non-standard cases.
Who UI Bakery is built for?
To take full advantage of UI Bakery, you need to be a software developer, a database architect, or a data engineer. To get a handle on the core functionality, you need to have a general understanding of how web apps work, how to make requests to servers, use variables, modify JavaScript snippets.
Frontend development skills are not essential. Nevertheless, it will not do any harm if you are a front-end developer.
How UI Bakery works
Here are 4 simple steps to build your first internal tool with minimal to no code.
- 1.Connect to a data source. Use native connectors to databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), business apps (Stripe, Hubspot, Airtable), or any HTTP API.
- 2.Load your data and build logic. Load and send your data using Actions. Add navigations and conditions, map your data with custom code and third-party libraries.
- 3.Drag-n-drop your UI. Assemble your app screens using built-in components: Tables, Forms, Details, Charts, and more. Connect Actions to any component.
- 4.Publish your app and invite users. Publish your web app updates. Invite your team members and colleagues to test your app.
And here are 4 things you can stop bothering about:
- Developing a UI and CSS styling.
- Spending much trouble on npm modules, updating JavaScript libraries.
- Building pipelines, deploying apps, configuring infrastructures.
- Managing access control and data privacy.
