Softr

Customer focused tech

Kommentare: Overall, Softr is doing the right things in adding features that the community is asking for. Every time I have had a question or needed help with something, the Softr team has been quick to assist with meaningful replies to solve the issue.

Vorteile:

- The best feature is the live read and write to your Airtable database. - Very user friendly - Great customer support

Nachteile:

- the learning curve may be difficult for a newbie. - sometimes autosave gets confused when making updates to your app.

It's THE BEST No-Code Web/App Builder right now!

Kommentare: - I was able to build my site prototype and main website within a week after taking feedback from others.
- Ticks all the necessary checkboxes.

Vorteile:

- Product is sadistically simple to use. - The plug n' play content blocks available within the dashboard save a ton of time conceptualising a website experience. - Small thing, but they way CTA buttons just magically adjust to the size of text is a superstar feature. - if you're a marketer or entrepreneur, Softr helps you get your MVP up and running super fast. - Biggest of them all, it reduces dependency on the multiple teams required to build you a website.

Nachteile:

- Now that they've made desktop so easy, begs the question - How CAN THIS HAPPEN FOR MOBILE TOO? Maybe we're asking for too much but if Softr achieves this seamlessness for mobile devices, it would render so many other apps useless! - Maybe consider adding a place where we can source and customise illustrations as well.

Great to build, but bad support

Vorteile:

This company offers an excellent platform for developing a low-code, Minimum Viable Product (MVP), a basic marketplace, dynamic website, or portal.

Nachteile:

Their support services leave much to be desired. I have encountered technical issues that take weeks to resolve, frequently leaving me without updates for days. Furthermore, there was a critical instance where their entire platform was inaccessible during a crucial period of my business operations, resulting in my website being inaccessible. As a consequence, I missed out on opportunities for my customers to access my services.

Softr

Kommentare: I can't say Softr is the best website builder out there, but at the moment it's the one that best integrates with Airtable. For my use case with landing pages and Airtable and little visual and functional improvisations here and there, it works fine. Softr however recently raised money and I'm sure in the next few months it is going to improve a lot on the platform in terms of functionality and performance.

Vorteile:

The Simplicity of creating a website, deploying, and making updates in real-time. This is all very smooth. I use Softr for making landing pages that are sent to specific user groups in my Airtable. Softr working smoothly with Airtable makes this a piece of cake for me.

Nachteile:

Softr comes with pre-built blocks, and it's impossible to add additional functions to these blocks. You will find yourself improvising a lot with blocks to make up for its shortcomings in functionality. You may want to add a button within a "Hero block" to have two buttons leading to different parts of your website, but the block has one button and that's it! There's no way around it basically! It can be very frustrating but I guess that comes with most site-builders.

Softr 10x my internally tooling speed

Kommentare: Im building internal tools for my team and also prototyping customer facing features.

Vorteile:

Softr is easier to use, more features, looks heaps better and is a fraction of the cost compared with other no-code Airtable development apps. Its insane

Nachteile:

its a hard one. but if I had to pick on anything, i would say their docs can use a little work.
