Flutterflow VS Adalo | No Code App Builders

[@docwilliams]

FlutterFlow 4.0 RELEASED | 6 NEW Features that are Game Changers kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-0ZqSfjJeEodE

[@vince2nd]

I think your videos were some of/ if not the first that I came across months ago when I started looking at nocode. And I chose Flutterflow over Adalo. One of the first issues is I don't know what language Adalo uses in the backend, which means I'd probably be stuck in their system forever, so scalability was the issue. Flutterflow on the other hand uses Flutter. Simple, straight to the point. My experience has been mostly good but my thoughts are: 1. Don't design in Flutterflow. Design/ prototype in figma, etc. know what exactly you want to build and execute it there. You'll save yourself a lot of time. Trust me on this. 2. The documentation isn't terrible if you like reading. But they could've had wayyyy more success if they had better KZbin tutorials. Explaining WHY instead of... Just drag this here and you're done 🙄. The earlier videos just expected you to know, rather than spoonfeeding you. This is a column this is how it works, this is why you want to use a column instead of a row. Now if you want to create something like this, use the knowledge you just learned to see how easy it is. They didn't take that approach and I personally think they failed in that area, esp for a new tool. You can tell it's a small team, but they can & need to do better/ more content. 3. I think Adalo's 50 records is trash when you compare that to Firebase. I could be wrong but idk. Maybe the integration is better. 4. I've also seen the comments on Adalo being slow so I wouldn't even bother wasting my time with that. Overall I think nocode requires you to know what you're doing. Having zero experience in database design, UI/UX, etc.. it's not there yet. And I also think most KZbin programmers try to save time by writing less code... With nocode you can do almost anything with very little consequence and not worry about the underlying code. I think the approach going forward should be, "we're going to create this screen from a mock-up/ prototype, it's looks complex but is super easy when you know what to look for, here is a column, this is a row, button, stack." When people get super comfortable with designing then you start introducing the complex stuff.. not everyone knows their way around GitHub, APIs, custom functions, etc. And while they don't need to go super in-depth, they do need to show/ explain WHY they're doing any of this stuff and why it matters

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks so much for stopping by! Love your comment and the details this is going to be SUPER helpful for people. Hope all goes well on your journey building!

[@khairulhaaziq2332]

hi may I ask how's the performance? Are you satisfied with the performance? In scale of 1-10 how would you rate the performance. My main concern is performance

[@harydascuellar972]

why are you saying its better to design in figma instead of doing it on flutterflow, i'm a beggineer

[@vince2nd]

@@harydascuellar972 because figma is sorta like a blank canvas. You can move elements around, redesign stuff quickly. And Flutterflow is when you decide to build the actual product. In the earlier versions of Flutterflow you couldn't drag and drop anywhere on the screen it had to follow certain rules. Still does but it's not the tool you'd want to waste time in perfecting the layout of your app.

Hi, thank you for the information. I'm very new to this and I've started creating my app on Balsamiq wireframes and now I've built it out on Figma. I'm just learning about "no code app builders". What I'm putting together is that I should halt finalizing on Figma and just start over in Flutter Flow, so that I can begin my user testing?

[@docwilliams]

No problem welcome! Depends on where you are in the process. It would be more seamless if you start with a platform like Flutterflow but have you validated your idea already?I ask because you might be able to validate first with figma and shift over after. Hope that makes sense, please ask more questions or let me know where you are in the process

What's up Doc, First of all thank you for the great content like always. I was wondering if I could create an app with no-code that can connect with an external wireless device via bluetooth to measure (heat, distance etc) Flutterflow or Alado?

[@docwilliams]

Hey glad you're liking the content! Hmm that's a really good question. Out of the two platforms, FlutterFlow will be the way to go for that for sure. It depends on the exact functionality you need but it sounds like webhooks or APIs would need to be involved with this. It depends on your experience level but you would prob need to use some integration with APIs. I would prob look into IFTTT and Nodered as well. Hope that helps!

For example, will the room need to be done with AR (augmented reality like pokemon go) or are you have them be able to plan it out from a birds eye view? Or are you going to ask them a series of questions and you'll provide options based on their answers.

Think a simple trivia game, not graphics intensive at all, but with the following complexity: determining winners and losers (time to answer, correct answer, and the possible number of winners (there can be more than one per round, depending on the number of players), grouping players on a first-in, first-grouped sets of players per round, and the number of points added, or lost by winner(s) and losers, respectively.

Hey great question! It all depends on the exact features of the app. Hearing about a learning app it depends if you need quizzes etc. Also depends what stage are you in. ARe you validating your idea or already have students and need to streamline what you're using.

It could be done with fluttler flow but for livestreaming it would be like youtube live etc or if you want to host the video you’ll need something like google cloud platform or AWS and you’ll need a developer for that.

can you explain how tomake classified app plz

[@docwilliams]

Hey great request! Depends on the functionality but it can done with Softr or Glide apps. THey already have templates you can use for classifieds. If we get a lot of interest in the next poll for building I'll do it live on stream. Thanks!

[@Filog]

Thanks and I appreciate you sharing this knowledge

[@IAMCHIDERA]

After making your app do you still pay the subscription?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! For Adalo yes for sure. Flutterflow you pay as long as your using their platform but Flutterflow allows you to export your app so you could stop paying after constructing it but it would be more of an option if you have a fulltime developer. Hope that helps!

[@IAMCHIDERA]

@Doc Williams thank you ☺️

[@docwilliams]

20 gb don't sound like enough for a solid marketplace app maybe 500 gbs

[@docwilliams]

Hey Tim! I agree that it wouldn't be great for a scaling marketplace but if a creator is validating their idea I could see it having a place but in general if I'm building a marketplace I would go with Sharetribe. www.sharetribe.com/?rfsn=5288964.5990a1 (affiliate link)

@@docwilliams any website builders that have unlimited storage? For the hosting I mean. Could host my own but is it really worth it when I'm not a tech guy and would have to hire?

Hello Doc, which noncoder platform can one use to create a ride sharing and courier activity from one city to another app?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! Depends on your skill level and where you currently are. For example if I'm testing my idea and at a MVP I would use Glide. If I have tested it and started getting the traction I would go with Bubble zeroqode.com/template/ridely---taxi-ride-sharing-like-uber-template-1501857279453x140151737882509310 Hope that helps and keep me posted!

Hi Doc. I want to build an App that can upload videos, posts, and photos, have an inbox, and be able to do live videos and live audio, be able to edit and delete a post. Will you help me find an App that can help me achieve this. Much love from South Africa.

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! This depends on where you are with validating your idea. DO you have a paying audience yet? Are you doing this for your community or a paying client? Tell me more. Thanks!

[@QaggenStarnah]

@@docwilliams Hey, sorry for the late response. I don't have a paying audience yet. It's a social media App like Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. I showed a couple of people the prototype I did with Adalo but that only uploads pictures, if I can get an App that would have all or most of the features I need I'd be pleased.

[@QueerNCool]

@@QaggenStarnah FlutterFlow allows that.

[@QaggenStarnah]

@@QueerNCool Thank you so much🙏🏾, I will definitely check it out.

[@QueerNCool]

@@QaggenStarnah No problem, many of these functionalities will be in our mobile app we're building on FF so I understand.

Hi what would you recommend for creating an app that can build example drag and drop information to build lesson plans and other educational reports ?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! If I'm going more education and I'm building it I would shift to a LMS (learning management system) like Podia or others focus on a course based approach rather than other a app building platform. To learn more about Podia you can check it out here- www.podia.com/?via=brandfactoryinc (this is a referral link)

Goodtimes! Love the idea! What stage you currently in? Do you have the clients or the businesses yet? Or are you currently grocery store owner?

The Only down side of flutter flow is their Auth system is tied to Firebase which means you can't use your own backend unfortunately.
