A good example in this space was DabbleDB[1], a low-code environment for producing web apps that did CRUD type stuff. Their original video demo: [VIDEO] I was pretty impressed when it came out. The UI was very intuitive, and it did a better job with things like table relations than it's competitors. They were also releasing new features based on requests faster than what I typically saw. It happened to have used the Seaside web framework mentioned in the article. Sadly, Twitter purchased it and shut it down...I assume they just wanted the team and not the product. [1] [LINK]

DabbleDB, this YouTube video gives a great introduction to this online spreadsheet-like database. Sadly they were bought out by Twitter, never to be seen again. [VIDEO]

I've tried a lot of these tools. The trouble is that things go extremely well until you hit a wall. With no way to extend them with something like freeform code, the wall doesn't move. The best ones, then, tend to be the ones that have been around long enough, or had enough foresight to have covered various corner cases. The other issue is that most of them have "per user / per month" pricing, which doesn't work for many use cases. Things like, for example, an applicant tracking app. If you use the functionality to a high degree, every job applicant is another end user license.

Twitter acquihired them and shut the tool down. It had a very smooth UI: [VIDEO]
