Hi there, cofounder of Dronahq here - low code platform.
I have built something similar for task management. But very specifically my job needs many follow-ups and so the task planner auto adds multiple tasks basis configuration for the same. But the objective is the same - achieve a specific goal. I kind of have an internal app engineer from my team built this - approx 2 months of her time went to build this and used today by about a dozen folks.
Given my experience with this - I would think most low code platforms should be able to help you achieve this. Be mindful of your underlying data structure/ schema and mostly you would be fine. My version 1 was up and ready in a week. But yes if it is personal tracker you don’t need reports and you won’t need that much time as I did.
Hi, nice to meet you! Thank you for your response. Very cool to hear!
I ended up using Replit's AI agent to start building and had moderate success so far. There are some issues with minor tasks but overall I am pleased with the understanding and implementation of the agent.
Would you mind elaborating more on what you mean by underlying data structure/schema and reports? As a non-tech product designer, I am not sure what those terms mean.
Is the task planner app that you built public? Would love to learn more about it.
Am curious if at some point length of context window stops playing any material difference in the output and it just stops making any economical sense as law of marginal diminishing utility kicks in.
I wonder the logic and even history of why right to left came into being. Is there any benefit in choosing a directionality of one vs another.
One thing that comes to my mind- book binding is done on the left edge of the book/news paper. So if folds are created you would go read left paper first and then to the right. Now if you are parsing left to right at higher level- At lower level wouldn’t it become consistency of UX to offer left to right reading?
It’s kinda of arbitrary. For ink:graphite writing top to bottom and right to left has the advantage of not smudging for right handers. For more durable media (carving/etching/chiseling) I think it is more arbitrary.
Boustrophedon (alternating left-to-right and right-to-left) was used sometimes in ancient Greek, so that your eyes didn't have to jump to the beginning of the next line.
Curious if like internet cable - can there be redundancy built?
Also the way data packets go - they can go literally from any of the lines and get assembled together somewhere in the network layer. But same doesn’t hold true for 3 phase power. So same that works for internet wouldn’t be applicable for power distribution.
The DC Cook Straight cable in New Zealand has 3 cables with one spare and one redundant. It can use the earth as a return path though, not sure if you could do that all the way to Singapore. DC doesn't have phases so it's not 3-phase, same with the Sun Cable.
1) Platforms compete on degree of complexity of apps you can build on them - you would be able to sfdc level crm/ service cloud/ marketing cloud on Dronahq
2) key point to evaluate would be use cases you can build faster on one vs another ( for instance you would be able to make dashboards way faster on DronaHQ)
One way or the other- you would be able to most of your use cases on either platform but you must watch for scaling on pricing/licensing / performance/ etc at scale.
Hey thanks for your reply! Can I ask a candid question? What's the stability/runway of DronaHQ? It looks like your last round of funding was $500k in 2018. I'm optimistic that means you've just found PMF and are running with it :) But figured I would ask directly.
We are semi bootstrapped with angels on board. We believe we can grow the business without needing to raise a VC round. Been at low code since 2016. So yes PMF gets us going. Thanks for asking.
We are one of the retool alternative and I don’t think it is shit. You need to dig deeper and spend some time. I must say they have done a great job of what they have built and we have a lot of respect for them.
Fomo is also a great way to make some one act or move the case forward.
In context to enterprise sales: most large enterprise deals need multiple stakeholders to sign off. Fomo helps your champion create the urgency needed to conclude the sale.
I am curious if we query the data to give us temperature at a given time for all lat n long and plot it geo spatially , would the result give anything on heat distribution of energy received across the lat and long at that point in time?
What do you mean by the heat distribution of energy? Do you mean like how much heat is received from the sun at a particular location and particular time? If so, then temperature is only the result of this plus other factors. Factors like cloud cover influence how much radiation is received at the surface.
