A shameless plug for my own similar open source project with an already functional version http://www.brickseditor.com/. It uses Bootstrap for the layout but there are plans to support other frameworks. It's built on AngularJS. I'm currently working on it full time. Maybe there could be some way we could collaborate if this Kickstarter isn't successful?

The Database section needs a bit of work. When I click on Database I'm stuck. I HAVE to create a table which I then cannot rename. When I delete the table I'm in the same situation, lock down.

Other than that, very nice.

Thanks. I'll fix that bug.
Very nice! Yours is much more than just a front-end editor, yours create complete apps.

EDIT: And yours is not MIT licensed and has separate commercial licenses.

The goal is to allow make the whole development process, from prototyping to deployment, easier.

It's AGPL. The commercial licenses are for people or companies who may want to modify it without releasing their modifications back to the community. If they don't want to contribute their code, they will at least contribute financially.

It really does, just don't over-complicate things and add support for plugins and it will be perfect!

Do the commercial license cost 299$ per year? Is it limited per install, or company-wide?

Support for plugins is high priority!

It will be per install. I just put that price as a baseline. It will be adjusted depending on the needs and use cases. If you would like to talk about it in depth, shot me an email.

Took me a while to find the repo:

Sorry sorich87, I've never heard about your project. I did not create Frontend using Bootstrap (you can plug yourself anyways). The project is built using AngularJS + NodeJS + Vagrant + MongoDB (with support for other databases).
I looked through the site and peeked at the sample application. I am just posting to say, I like the concept of your application. Good luck!
Why would you do a 10 minutes introduction video ! I can't watch anything longer than 2 minutes.
Well, it's not really an introduction video. It's a video showing me building a contacts management app from start to finish. I plan to make a proper intro video later. As a one man project at this time, it's a little tricky to prioritise. There are so much things to do: adding new features, fixing bugs, creating a proper website, creating documentation, etc.
looks very nice. I especially like that it's fast
Thanks. I'm trying to keep it simple, fast and extensible.
