Congrats. This looks excellent. I have tried the frontend ones like Webflow and Bubble and they are all clunky, not meant for any serious work.

No code for the backend actually might be the better usecase so I would love to try it out / see how it evolves.

One concern I have here is local development.

At the moment, Fastgen doesn’t directly support local development. Our focus has been on providing a cloud-based low-code experience that you can access from anywhere without the need for local setup. However, we do recognize the value of local development, and we’re exploring ways to support it. That being said, we already offer an experimental feature to call your route from your local environment through for example curl or postman. We plan to extend on this by allowing the user to call and test the currently unpublished fastgen route from the local environment as well as also having multiple environments (dev/staging/production) to switch between within your projects. Does that answer your question or is there something else you are concerned about?
This does restrict me to build small toy apps. Because I do deep thinking and system building in my remote cottage without internet.
