A great product that changes the WYSIWYG Landscape for React and Mobile App Production

I love working with Draftbit. I have found the team to be so professional and friendly. It has a community that I am proud to be a part of and I wish to help see it grow.

PROS

Draftbit is a great way to get into PWAs and Mobile apps no matter your skill level. I have found that it is intuitive enough to allow for extensive customisation without much coding skills required. I also found that if you need to go into code and add in your own, Draftbit has supplied a really good way to do this. It presents itself as an easy to use tool to prototype and even create production ready apps, yet it has so many complexities woven into it, that it can many very large use cases.

CONS

I feel like a custom plugin / extension marketplace should be implemented. I would for one love to be able to reuse custom components I have made with custom code in other projects but they do not always import across well.

Reason for choosing Draftbit

After the trial period of Draftbit, it was a no brainer. Draftbit was more easy and intuitive to use and it gave a good pathway into Custom Code

Reasons for switching to Draftbit

Draftbit looked like it could handle my more complex requirements better and I was just starting to learn React. Draftbit has actually helped me learn React JS coding.

Great for Entrepreneurs

I'm currently building an app with Draftbit to push the features. So far, it's been good. I've been able to do everything I need to because Draftbit allows me to use custom code if they don't have what I need prebuilt.

PROS

Connecting to external API's are easy in Draftbit. The component library is good and it's growing. If you're familiar with CSS Flex Box then you'll be right at home laying out components. I also like that I can write custom code and components if what I'm needing isn't already created by Draftbit.

CONS

I think the component library needs to improve, that is, add more components. When building for iOS you have to create custom back buttons to add interactivity, that should be a standard feature. State management takes some getting use to if you come from a React Native background and using state management solutions like Redux.

Reason for choosing Draftbit

They seem to have the most mature product and allowed me to download my code so I can run it on my own because I have their Pro-Code plan.

Scam, just steal your idea and money. Who owns the company, where are the leadership's contact info.

It is sad that they use this technology's and scam people. Its entertaining to see another scam on the internet.

PROS

This is just another FTX , they take your money and no customer service. Impossible to get the ownership information to file criminal charges. If they were a responsible company they would supply there ownership information and contact information so that you can make them responsible in court for their fraudulent business practices.

CONS

They pretend they are a real solution, but in fact its a numbers games, they get more money coming in with no customer service. Hostgator and AWS have customer service, draftbit does not.

Great product to build apps your way.

PROS

Unlike other no code builders, Draftbit gives you control and creative freedom. You are not stuck in templates or limited functionality that forces you to do things a certain way. Yes, there is a learning curve, but being able to do exactly what you want is worth it!

CONS

Some under the hood specifics (like sync/async in the function stack) are not well explained in the docs and have to be discovered in debugging.

Full App Development w/o the Headache

Super positive overall. It lowers the barrier to entry and all of the headaches that usually come with app dev. Draftbit has a great community forum and their customer-facing team members are super helpful and receptive to ideas of how the product and support tools can be improved.

PROS

Having the source code was the main reason I went with Draftbit. I've used a handful of other low-code/no-code tools in the past, and source code was the main decision maker that made Draftbit the clear choice. I also liked that I could make multiple apps under a subscription with them.

CONS

I wish I could export an app or screen I've built as a template that I can use in other apps.

Reason for choosing Draftbit

The primary reasons were access to the source code, integration with my own backend, and ability to make custom components. I haven't found any other app builders that support this.
