Startup: MindApps Operating Web Platform

    Dear colleagues, I represent the MindApps startup: http://mindapps.ru in your court .

    MindApps is designed to create and execute web applications - according to the SaaS scheme or on the company's servers. MindApps is designed for small, medium and possibly large businesses in various industries, as well as consulting companies that will be ready on this platform to “materialize” their competence in the form of service solutions.

    The main idea embedded in the platform is the ease of creation and the speed of application changes. In order for the company to be able to create the necessary information tools for itself as needed - and, preferably, without programmers. There was a need -> a decision was made -> an application was created / changed -> put into use. Say, during the day for the entire cycle.

    To do this, we have developed a technology that allows you to describe applications in the form of interactive schemes. Instead of coding, we draw up consistent models: structures of data classes (where without this), business processes, schemes for using information in interfaces, etc. The basic technology makes it easy to describe new types of models using your own means, so circuit languages ​​are constantly being developed and updated.

    Of course, it has not yet been possible for any cook to be prepared by any untrained manager and, without reading the documentation, to create the required corporate solution of medium complexity. But we strive for this. ;-) I hope that it will not be difficult for an IT specialist who has understood technology.

    MindApps uses an original technology to build the interface - forms are defined using “mind maps”, though very special ones. They allow you to quickly create a form-application for displaying and working with data, determine the visualization method, and generally change the entire application. The layout of the AJAX interface is automatic, dynamic. Forms can be submitted to the site in the form of special applets - “mindlets”. A video showing how to do this can be seen here .

    The original is the technology for building process applications. Asked using eEPC, equipped with its own data context and output forms, MindApps processes are a rather powerful means of automation, control and interaction. You can watch a video or slide tour .

    The web interface of the platform is built according to the component principle - from special widgets assigned to structural data. This makes it possible to quickly add new visual components, or customize existing ones. Works under the main browsers: FireFox, Chrome, Interner Explorer 7.0. Opera is supported only for working with data, it is impossible to draw diagrams through it. Used HTML and AJAX, without external plugins.

    The project is now in the technological prototype stage. This means that a number of important technologies and tools are still under development.

    But the basic technologies and concepts have taken place, and it is very interesting for me to get feedback on them.
