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.
John Freddy Vega
@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?
Mike Hostetler
@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
