Building Mobile Apps at Scale alternatives

I am blown away with simplicity and power of NotionApps. I am an online video editing school owner and I have Talent Collective of my graduates. Projects come in and need to be distributed among the editors. What I needed is something like a freelance platform tailored for my needs. I found NotionApps Monday afternoon, looked at a template and familiarised myself with how it works. Then started building an app from scratch. In about 5-6 hours I had my first MVP! How cool is that? I tweaked it more next day and launched it among my graduates on Thursday. It went on successfully with 3 projects distributed among 40 people with about 15 selecting them and getting on to work on them. On monday we've finished one project with 5 editors. Super fast, super efficient. I had the data structure and basic logic already figured out in Notion, so creating an app above that data was pretty fast. I still have a lot to do, but it works! Also, the support is amazing. Jutin even jumped on a google meet video call with me. I am a fan.

GREAT TOOL! I love the ease of use, security settings, and design. So much better than Google Docs, especially for sharing and organizing important information.

We have been using Mintlify since the beginning. Almost every week, we receive compliments on how well-designed our docs are.

For the last 5 years, active_admin and administrate have been the 2 default admin "frameworks" that were present in most commercial projects that I worked with. They felt legacy since day 1 of implementing them, but there was nothing better (faster, cheaper) on the market. I had the (horrible) experience building complex UIs with active_admin, adding Hotwire to it... 😭 Well, now AVO is my default go-to admin in Rails. It has a nice UI, no technical debt and does not use any legacy technology (looking at you jQuery). So yeah, I've come here to say thanks to Adrian and the dev team! ;)

I have been with scaleway for a couple of years now. They are similar in features to digitalocean but they are far from them in support and capability. You have to watch out for when they change things, your life will become very difficult and support is terrible. In the past couple of months they moved to new instance types and left all the migration in my hands. Their documentation is terrible and support keeps referring me to the docs even though I don't understand why I need to migrate.
