Show HN: Canonic – Build and deploy full-stack apps without code (canonic.dev)
12 points by prathama 893 days ago
Hi there!

We launched Canonic in 2021 with the vision to make complex app development more accessible to everyone.

You can now build & deploy apps end-to-end on Canonic without code. Create user-facing apps, internal tools, workflow automation, and more in minutes. Apps on Canonic are easy to build, maintain, and scale long-term.

It decreases both the time & the technical experience that's usually needed to build complex apps & automation.

How does Canonic work?

Connect to all your data & services: Canonic acts as a central nervous system connecting to your favorite services to create a unified layer. Connect to databases such as Mongo, Postgres, Redis, or services such as Slack, Shopify, and Notion. All in a few clicks.

Create workflows & automation: Add logic on top of your data & services using a mind-map-like interface. Create multi-step workflows spanning multiple services. Each workflow is also an independently executable API endpoint with customizable inputs.

Snap components together to build powerful UI: Drag & drop 40+ UI components & compositions that snap together to make it as easy as Lego. Build fully responsive & interactive layouts. Use Javascript anywhere to make everything dynamic.

How is Canonic different?

We're full-stack! Build APIs, Pages, and automations, all on one tightly integrated platform.

Unlimited users across all plans. Build user-facing apps, portals, and dashboards.

Export to human-readable code. No vendor lock-in, eject with all your data & code.

---

You can either sign up on Canonic's cloud platform or self-host in minutes. It's free either way to get started!

We owe our journey to your invaluable support. Looking forward to all the feedback & questions.

Onwards & upwards

Thank You!

Congrats on the launch! Looks great :)

Quick question, what does unlimited users mean? Are those users who use the apps I build or team members who do the building ?

Thank You!

Great question! Most tools in the market today limit the number of users that can use the apps that you build or are priced per user making it cost prohibitive to build user-facing apps.

Canonic's pricing is based on the number of collaborators that are building on Canonic. The number of users that can use the apps that you build is unlimited across all our plans.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the answer, that really sounds fascinating.
