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!

@freddier wait, what? "Most of the serious app dev is on the frontend" is a bit of a stretch of the imagination don't you think?

@freddier @mikekhristo good point- depends on the app of course. But i built apps as a consultant for about the last half decade and honestly in most of the projects I saw, at least 60% of the (wo)man-hours were spend on the client(s)

@freddier if by "serious app dev" you mean UI's for CRUD apps, sure.

@mikekhristo I can see how my comment went too far, in perspective. For *most* app dev, Frontend is where the cool stuff happens. Obviously, if you're doing Machine Learning or a similar complex thing, you're doing impressive, fun backend. But for *most* ideas, Backend is quite predictive. Treeline accelerates that a lot. Maybe.

@freddier if you're conviction is that strong, would you use Treeline for your own startup (Platzi)?

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?

@micah Completely agree. Been working with Sails.js and this team and they are doing some great stuff.

@micah I love playing with new graphical programming tools too, but I don't think we'll ever anticipate every need so well that professional developers won't need an IDE and command line to build production-grade commercial apps. Side projects though...

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. :)
