I am the developer of HiveMind (crudzilla.com), I am currently stuck on what I think would be the final feature of the platform that would fulfill my vision of what a modern web application platform should be about.

That feature is a drag-n-drop UI construction mechanism that would basically allow the user to glue together UI components (I call them UI parts) and write code only as a fill-in-the-blank task to complete the application.

I think React, Angular and similar paradigms might eventually make this possible. In the future building web applications, especially typical business crud applications with simple workflows wrap around a UI should not require more than familiarity with a development product and basic programming.
