Cool!

I have this dream of revive this kind of spirit (https://tablam.org).

I started with Foxpro 2.6 and it was a blast.

One of the very cool things Fox allow us was to ship their ability to `CREATE FORM, CREATE REPORT, BROWSE, etc` so the users can customize the app with the same power as us. This is one of the most important advantages of ERPs and such made with Fox and is still unmatched.

But but... if the ERP allows the customer to do their own custom reports and forms... they won't pay you extra customization fees? Won't you think of the poor ERP vendors?

LOL!

Something I learn doing this stuff +25 years is that support and custom development eat you alive, and is not profitable for small ISV like mine.

Sadly, I can't use Fox now so I more constrained and unable to give the same. That is why I rebuilding the erp as an engine (fancy name: "headless erp") and working in make a lang and maybe a custom RDBMS. But then I need a GUI builder to get the same idea!

Just a minor inconvenience!

Yeah I was thinking of the likes of poor Oracle and SAP and their profit margin :)
