Forms is a drag-and-drop database application builder meant to abstract users and developers from the same repetitive CRUD code. If you're familiar with Microsoft Access, it's like that except it's web-based and handles user management/permissions. Developers can immediately start writing code for their business logic. We have a full JavaScript API for interfacing with our servers, and presenting forms and submissions like models.
We posted here about a year ago with a somewhat hacked-together previous version. Since then we've added Zapier Support, Custom Scripting, Reports (we call them reports, but they are more like database views), and Report-based permissions. That last one means you can do interesting things like allowing a group of users to access only orders in the northeast.
I had a quick look at the ToS and do not see anything about uptime guaranties ? Synchronized backups to other geographic locations ? How about optionally making a local backup of all the data ? And how secure it is on your servers anyway ?
Things like this are very to businesses.
We've been working on documenting platform specifics pretty heavily at info.sonadier.com, but I hadn't thought to document business guarantees. Thank you for the heads up! They should be added shortly.
Maybe something like 'x companies with y users are using this every day' helps as well. With some specific company names and testimonials and/or specific use cases.
