  auto-create form

I know you can already import a CSV file, and automatically create a (data) table from it.

It would be nice to have a simple "wizard-like" way to create an edit/input form for that table; i.e. create an input field+label for each column in the table, just arranged in a single column in the order of the columns. It might be that the user then deletes some of them, and re-arranges them, creates some responsive geometry - but this would be a definite time-saver compared to manually creating then adjusting each field in turn. 
Perhaps allow the user to manually configure one field, and then copy those style characteristics to all the other fields.

  Input fields with verification

It would be good, and I think very valuable for no/lo code, to be able to specify a type/verification for input fields.

That is, you create a field, and can specify that it is :
 - a date, or time, or date+time
 - a number
 - an integer
 - a Zip (or ZIP+4) code
 - a (US) phone number, or international phone number
 - etc. 
As many of those kind of well-known, often used, 'restricted' field contents as you can. 

And also allow lo-code to create a function handler to handle custom verification. Maybe in some sense this is already possible for lo-code - but this would make it super-simple and integrated with the built-in verification scheme.

  Copy+paste button doesn't retain all characteristics.

1. Place a button.
2. Resize it.
3. Copy (via right-button menu)
4. Paste it.

Expected: a new copy of the button (at its current size) should be added.
Actual: a button at the original (default?) size is created.

  Cannot quit Appli.

I encountered an error (execution error within IDE), an it opened a dialog box to allow me to add comments. I did that, then selected 'email report', and sent in the email.

Then I 'close'd the error dialog - but cannot 'Quit' Appli using the standard MacOS menu, which is now disabled.  (Quit from the menu does work at other times).

  Sort order for 'layout' element.

When you use a database to fill a layout element, with 'multiple rows' selected, you can set the order of display.
However, this is limited to a singe key - it really needs to be multiple keys. Even the simple example (Contacts) is not effective - having e.g. all the 'Smith"s in random order rather than sub-oder by first name.

A 'table' element allows sorting by multiple keys - though I can't remember how to do that, or how get there. The navigation is, I find, sometimes unclear. 

Also, the 'nocode' dialog for layout has no 'cancel' button, while the 'table' one does - no big deal, but an unnecessary inconsistency.

Another example of navigation doubt - the IDE opens in 'project selection' screen, but once I've opened a project, I can't find a way to get back to the project selection screen to work on a different one (of course, I can simply close the IDE, re-start it, type in my password - and then select a different project).

  Tooltips everywhere.

Along the top of the appli IDE there is a row of icons - each with a tooltip.
However, the rightmost three (option, sync, account) - arguably the most important - don't have tooltips.

Similarly, in the rightmost pane (once I've selected, say, a layout), each item has a tooltip - EXCEPT the no-code and low-code icons at the bottom.

  IOS vs Android

So far I have noticed that when I create an Appli App, and when I run an app on an iPad versus Android Device, there are subtle differences between the two platforms. The positions and dimensions and layouts are enough so, I now design my apps on the Apple device to make sure they fit. Any suggestions would be helpful.

My name is Mark Talluto. Welcome everyone to Appli. This incredible project has been under development for more than three years. We are happy to announce that we are in an open beta stage.

Please feel free to give Appli a try. You can use the following promo code: 45DAYAPPLI
No credit card is required when using this code.

Appli is a no-code and low-code environment for making data-driven apps. We designed the IDE to resemble tools commonly used by designers like Adobe XD, Figma, and Sketch. These incredible tools give designers the features they need to express their ideas visually. We want designers to feel at home when using Appli.

The best part is that most of the code your apps need is automatically written for you. There are times when you will want to add some logic and data to your app. You can do this very quickly with our low-code design.

Use your app on your mobile device or allow others access. Your unique app code is all you need. You may use the code in the Appli Player - available on both the iOS and Android app stores for free. The Appli Player may contain as many apps as you like.

Give Appli a try and see how quickly you can make apps today!

-Mark Talluto

If you have any questions, please post them in the Appli forums.
