Hello Everyone,
Firstly, what an amazing product! I don't come from a developer background, maybe I just missed it, so these observations may or may not even be relevant.
1) Resources -> Supported Platforms -> There is Mac App, but shouldn't you now have a Windows App there too?
2) Grouping/Folders -> Havent tried, but assume cannot nest folders within folders when we group pages into them? i.e. large platform/multiple services kind of site, would be nice if can group/nest/subfolder group them within other folders.
3) Speaking of platform/multiple services vs. single service.. roadmap looks great with regard to re-use.. my biggest concern is of course app size. Would also be good if consider providing best practise default sizes if not doing so already, e.g. use FAANG sites to determine best size for any given screen since they have done hard work already working that out..
4) Not clear to me is if we build ap when it is on version xyz.. and we haven't e.g. generated.exported code.. and 6 months later version bump.. will the design e.g. boxes, lists etc all inherit automatically any updates that happened to them over that time? e.g. newer default size, change in padding etc.. or do we have to do something to 'refresh' them before generating the code and exporting etc?
5) Marketplace - tried a few apps out, some wouldn't login.. but generally biggest pain was mobile view the bottom was half off the bottom of page at 100%. I tried moving to external screen and same issue.. so maybe user error here.. but had to side bar scroll down to see entire app in mobile screen view which was annoying.
6) Flutterflow limitations.. i.e. we advise not to use it for xyz.. or building the next ebay as thats too big/many files or reason abc.. a general statement about if anything isn't quite ready for Flutterflow to handle.. I want to build next ebay but no idea what flutterflow can and cannot handle so to speak..
7) Student free trial uses Premium.. but cannot find anywhere what Premium is or what it gets or doesn't have access too.. i'm trying to find the AI Schema as example but no idea where that's hiding let alone if I can access it under premium/student trial version 😃
8) Trying out Windows app, couldn't get past 2nd or 3rd action of selecting text.. the video demo doesn't clearly show how to select/highlight it and clicking it didnt work.. only dragged the picture up.. user error or may be windows bug.. but will keep trying.. would be nice if that video demo box could be dragged onto another screen and also can enlarge much for to see.. audio would be nice too and slower mouse action a little to see whats going on.
9) ack of knowledge here.. but also a note somewhere in tutorials or the demo app you build.. but when creating headers/footers etc.. it isnt clear if/how to create one which is re-usable and if you modify one it automatically modifies all.. or create a v2 so only v1s change and newer v2's on other pages wont get updated.. thinking from a 'im building a 300 page ebay app' and I don't want to be manually updating 300 each time I made a change 🤦♂️
10) feature request - Figma to Flutterflow AI conversion tool.. im torn between Flutterflow vs. Figma and the various AI tools popping up which is spitting out native code in various languages etc.. im choosing to spend money on flutterflow dev to UI/UX/design directly into Flutterflow not knowing if I can build what i want/need feature wise.. ideally if I could UI/UX in figma and import at least I can pivot or convert some/all of figma into whatever code worse case and blend flutter code with whatever AI generated figma code..
11) feature request - some architecture patterns/apps other than just app direct to Db connectivity.. something we can click and deploy onto a host and have working.. some webserver/middleware and API layer in between, tokens, etc. for me, postgres is my target but supabase version has api throughput limitations and also APIs not what im wanting to use.. some dockerised (self hosting) preconfigured proper solution which we can just drop flutter files on and magic happens) is wishful thinking.. but something little more production ready than current db plugins would be great..
12) Not clear, but do you guys take a cut from Marketplace sales?
But this is still amazing product!
rambling over..🥴
