Product Details

What is App Builder?

App Builder - Design and Build Real Apps Fast

The brand-new App Builder aims to provide design and development teams with a solution to help them deliver apps quickly and efficiently, without losing focus on UX.

Users can start an app from scratch or choose from a library of pre-built app templates or responsive screen layouts and then customize with a toolbox of 60+ UI controls to kick-start the next digital product design. If a design already exists in Sketch or Adobe XD, the user can import designs from the design system into a real, component-based app.

Everything designed results in production-ready HTML, TypeScript & CSS for Angular and Razor and SCSS for Blazor (with React and Web Components coming soon). Users can see it in real-time as you create, or download a complete zip file of the app.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used ID to create a new application from design to developer hand-off. The design team and our premier Angular development team were users of the product. We wanted to use the same tools and materials in a design that would be used in the development to allow for zero friction in the turnover of design assets. The capability to generate working Angular components with styles was a huge game-changer.
Pros
  • Layout
  • Theme and Styles
  • Code Generation
Cons
  • The plugin for Visual Studio Code had a bug/defect - no support for Nx Workspace
  • Assumed support for angular.json files only - hardcoded into the tool
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Well suited for new and greenfield projects.
  • Great for projects using Material Design concepts
  • Great when you have dedicated design team with the right tools to work with ID
  • Not so good, if your design system or tool does not support ID
Most Important Features
  • design assets turnover to developers
  • consistent styles and themes
  • code generation
Return on Investment
  • + Allowed for fast design and mock ups
  • + Allowed for efficient asset delivery to development team
  • + allows for revisions and updates; with code generation
Alternatives Considered
ID with Ignite controls was a complete end-to-end solution that included design to development. The code generation of working Angular components was the key decision factor.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I do create sketch of forms to discuss with clients.
Pros
  • Good design very similar to final result.
  • Interaction with clients.
  • Notes and comments on project.
Cons
  • Code generation to flutter.
  • Grids with "row layout" as in infragistics wingrid.
Likelihood to Recommend
As said before I use it to sketch the forms. It's perfect for this. I use also the ability to publish it so that the clients can access it via the web and set their comments.
Most Important Features
  • Fast design.
  • Web interaction with clients.
  • Different versions of the same form (good to show interactions).
Return on Investment
  • I can't evaluate this.
Alternatives Considered
They're different products. for grid design maybe Balsamiq is a bit better.

We have experience in SAP ABAP, winform and Xamarin (android, ios) development but almost nothing in web development so App Builder its a great tool to design and generate the code of the web application in Blazor so we only has to write the code behind, special routines and api to interface data.
Pros
  • Desing
  • Generate code
  • Several platforms
Cons
  • Data interface (web services)
  • Documentation
Likelihood to Recommend
its well suited for custom developments.
For standard use like blog there are on clic install solutions
Most Important Features
  • Design by drag and drop
  • Code generation

Great potential product but needs more features for Blazor.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Potentially, great product for cutting Blazor UI development time down to hours instead of days or weeks.
The app also allows for rapid prototyping which eliminates the need for code rewrites.
My guess is that in the next 6-9 months the Blazor product will be stable enough and contain the necessary features to implement this in a production environment.
Pros
  • Rapid prototyping.
  • Massive time savings.
  • Eliminates tedious UI code development.
Cons
  • Not a viable product yet until the Blazor implementation is entirely completed.
  • More components/controls needed in the toolbox.
Likelihood to Recommend
App Builder will be great where you have a small team with limited resources.
Obviously this product is only good if you are starting a new project. I have used Radzen before which does almost the same thing using a database first approach, but it was a real pain as the application crashes a lot.
Most Important Features
  • Time savings.
  • Low code.
  • Quick prototyping.

When comparing App Builder against PowerApps, the feature set isn't even close. PowerApps is slow and only works in the corporate enterprise whereas App Builder allows for deployments in a full-scale environment. The only thing similar, is that both PowerApps and App Builder are low code.

I've used App Builder in order to test it and consider if it fits our company goals. Overall, my experience was positive but I believe there is still room for improvement. I did not recommend an investment but I strongly suggested my company keep an eye on its future developments.
Pros
  • WYSIWYG editor
  • Code generation with Angular
  • Theme and styles
Cons
  • Can't edit the code inside AppBuilder
  • Can't import existing code into AppBuilder
  • Can't generate forms from (say) JSON schema or other model definitions
Likelihood to Recommend
The tool is great for creating quick prototypes from which developers can actually start building the final product. I would recommend it for small projects. If you want to use App Builder for agile projects with lots of user interfaces you will have to consider a micro frontend architecture otherwise the project may not scale efficiently.
