Softr for Beginners 2023 | No Code Builder

[@jejidyanjackson2868]

you know what: I'm very happy to day Firebase was so painful to me; then i started learning Superbase but now i discover rowy it's a tool that make Firebase simple than Airtable, no painful on Firebase anymore, I'm not sponsored to say this but i really know how it feel for no code developer like me to discover new tools that really simplify things, for me it's the best tool now I'm looking for the best frontend builder and that's why I'm here

[@docwilliams]

Glad that you're here and love that you're finding tools that work for you!

[@Caulmare]

I watch so many of these type info / teach Type videos for app and software creating and I have to say , your methods for explaining everything is extremely painless , to the point and easy to grasp . Most people babble on about things that are not relevant just to get clicks and have others use their affiliate link. You on the other hand do an exceptional job with these type videos🙏

[@docwilliams]

wow! so happy to hear this! This comment just made my day! Glad these videos are helpful and thanks so much for stopping by!

Ciao! I'm still learning Flutter flow and you come up with another great tool? I'll continue my app with FF for now then I'll give a try to this Softr. I just have a quick question about DB growth... in case my tables will skyrocket in few months (if the app will be successful) do you recommend to switch to another type of DB? For example Google Sheets or Airtable? How comfortable are they compared to Firebase? Grazie

[@docwilliams]

Hey glad you’re on your journey with FF! Quick Question- are you currently using Firebase or planning to switch to Firebase? If you’re looking to scale your DB I would be looking at Firebase. If you’re doing advanced enterprise level there are other GCP (Google Cloud Platform) that I might consider but that is pretty rare.

[@Supergab85]

@@docwilliams firebase for now

[@docwilliams]

@@Supergab85 yeah that's one of the best DB to scale with. Before deciding to switch I would first breakdown the functionality needed if you want to switch but that's a great option for most applications.

Thanks for the video, I would like to create a mobile app for my work, where I can post a notice board for general info, and also a page where you can view a pdf booklet, I want to make it so that only employees can sign in

[@docwilliams]

Hey great to hear! Yup you’ll be able to create all if that with softr. Let me know how it goes with your project! Take care!

[@somo.digitalart]

Great Video! thank you^^

[@docwilliams]

no problem! Glad it was helpful!

[@beatbuildersstudio]

Great video brother. I make music for tv and I have a database in Air Table that has info like Song Name, Artist Name, Album covers etc. I'm trying to make an app where other producers can update their own catalog with an app. This seems like I can do this with Softr but it looks unclear.

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks for stopping by! Yes you could do this with the resource directory like this one- www.softr.io/templates/knowledge-base Hope this helps you.

[@beatbuildersstudio]

Thank you.

[@docwilliams]

@@beatbuildersstudio no problem! Keep me posted on your progress

Great Video! Do you know what the SEO functionality would be like if someone uses Softr for websites? Also can we do the exact same thing with using webflow instead of Softr?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! First off for SEO I would check their documentation but you’ll be able to optimize a softr site with the basic SEO strategies but if you’re looking a specific feature or need something I would check with the team. Regarding webflow depends the exact functionality you’ll looking for and can give a user a lot of specific control so it depends what features you’re currently looking for. Let me know if you have any other specific questions or follow up inquiries. Thanks!

[@KevinKim-mr6sm]

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to make an app like GAS using flutterflow or adalo?

[@docwilliams]

Hey Kevin great question! Are you referring to the Gas app that is described like- What is Gas app? New social media platform uses anonymous compliments to build someone up

[@docwilliams]

If so, it could be possible with flutterflow depending on all the exact features you need but that would the platform I would suggest. Take care!

[@KevinKim-mr6sm]

@@docwilliams Thanks again!

[@docwilliams]

@@KevinKim-mr6sm no problem!

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE PAGE I WANT TO DELETE DOESNT HAVE THE DELETE OPTION

[@docwilliams]

Great question. I would need to know more information for more specifics but in general I would just hide the page or click the three dots for the option to delete the page. Here's a quick video for details. share.zight.com/OAuNY1vq Hope that helps and feel free to send me details.

Hey Doc, love your instructional videos on no code apps. I would like to create an app and website for a educational project that I created. As I was looking through softr’s catalog for widgets and things I could not find anything that can be used to run a day and hour countdown. Do you know if softer or any other non-code app builder has the ability to do that? Also i’m looking for the ability to click on a map of America and select a state and then select a state region. Your insight would be greatly appreciate.

[@docwilliams]

hey glad you're enjoying the content! For the widgets you're looking for that would be prob with bubble or flutterflow for those types of features.

[@anwardungy8506]

Thanks Doc!

[@docwilliams]

[@georgesomaru8973]

I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with for the clickable map that you described.

Want to build a Saas product with Softr

[@docwilliams]

Love it! Keep me posted on your progress!

[@erinbaysinger3627]

I'm wanting to make an app that where it doesn't cost business owners a lot of money to use and advertise. Looking to demonitize these giants in the industry! So it can even work the same the only thing different is the cost for the clients to list and advertise.

[@docwilliams]

Hey Erin great goal! Softr might be a great solution based the exact functionality you want business owners to have to use it but it’s a great platform for a lot of use cases
