A single back-end engineer can use Applin to make a mobile app. No frontend coding required. Instant deploy & rollback. Traditional app has 4 parts: UI ~ (a) Frontend (b) ~http~ (c) Backend (d) ~ DB Applin app has 2 parts: UI ~http~ (c) Backend (d) ~ DB

Hi ProductHunt! I'm an engineer. I learned how to make mobile apps and found the tooling to be lacking. So I made the tool that I needed: Applin. You can use Applin to make a mobile app with only backend code. - Import an Applin library and use it to defines pages and behavior in server code. - Copy the iOS app template and add your app's name, icon, and your server's URL. - Compile and run the app in Simulator, on your phone, or submit it to the App Store. Check out the live demo: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ap... Applin uses native iOS widgets. It smoothly updates the page when it gets a new version of the page from the server. Applin is not no-code. It requires writing backend code.
