Treeline is incredible. They truly want to free frontends from the typical "Sorry, you have to wait for the API/validation/database structural update/library/socket to be ready". Because, to be honest, most of the serious app dev is now on the frontend, mobile and web. I saw an early demo and it's impressive, give it a try!

super smart founders, who started with Sails.js ("rails" for node) and have built a solid product in Treeline, which allows a frontend engineer to build backend code ... without coding. I really wonder when the day comes when lines of code are no longer written, everything is built via drag/drop type interfaces?

This is so awesome, looks to me like IFTTT for developers

Thanks to everybody checking out Treeline, totally humbled by the response! Getting out beta invites as fast as we can, and will open to the public ASAP--ran into some issues due to even-greater-than-expected demand (I know, I know). We're temporarily suspending our free hosting feature to help with the load. Hit us up with any questions!

Think of a world where MVPs are done in a blink ... where entrepreneurs can pivot in hours and find the Product Market match in a fraction of time! Awesome job @sgress454 & team!

Sounds too good to be true. I've been learning Laravel because I'm tired of being one of those front-end devs that gets stuck. I've used apigility.org and Firebase in the past, but although I got things working, I never felt like I understood what I was doing. Just signed up for Treeline, can't wait for an invite. :)

Great team behind Treeline and Sails.js.

What prelang did to rails is what these guys are doing for sails.js. Loved it for two reasons: 1) The ease of creating flexible / configurable nodejs backend seems to be a few minutes task. This was never possible before. 2) Local development environment keeps in sync with the changes being made on treeline via websockets. This is brilliant. No need to do any manual efforts here.

Looks awesome. I do a lot of work on Parse.com now but there are plenty of flaws that Treeline could capitalize on.

Great to see treeline on Product hunt. Definitely great things coming from this team.

This is a really cool approach to backends without having to code. Though technically, I'd consider their interface a visual coding language. So it's still coding. What they are really doing is abstracting away all the unnecessary shit and leaving the end user with only the controls they need to make the backend that suits them best. Love that! I'm just really into the whole "what even is code?" thought experiment. So I felt the urge to clarify. Swift is a programing language that lets you not have to deal with memory management. In much the same way, visual languages like this (and Max, for example) attract even further, but the end product is still coding? Or not. idk

This is really great. I hope it is stable and keeps evolving. Stuff like this will make it way easier to shoot out MVPs.

Anything that allows me to focus on the front-end with the capability of using a backend is always exciting. How does this compare to Strongloop Arc? Or Stamplay?

Well done peeps, well done!

No brainer idea. Well done.

Can't wait to try this. BETA ME.

Saw the video for this last week. Very cool. Looks very interesting. I'm a big fan of Sails.js.

Now, this is what I say is the correct replacement of "typing out code". I've seen many attempts at making "code draggable and droppable", but those never impressed me when I tried to use them with complex logics. Treeline, take a bow!

Hey guys, how do I reach out?

Looks great, watched the video and I can't wait for launch, big ups guys!
