I miss DabbleDB greatly.
I once made a real meals-and-visits schedule signup sheet app for a sick relative (dozens of folks signing up for slots over days, etc.) in about 20 minutes, including learning a bunch about the tool.
Ultimately it "just" made CRUD apps, but it made the process amazingly fast. The equivalent of updating a Django model and view was usually a click or two with no waiting, and the only typing was to name things.

- peatmoss 8y agoThis was a cool illustration of the Smalltalk programming language. I never found a use for Dabble (well, until recently when I went looking for it), but the demos were magical.

- schappim 8y agoYes! It was amazing. It makes me want to learn Smalltalk (the language which it was written in).
