Hello friends,
We will be launching our startup https://getfastCode.com in a couple of months.
fastCode helps professional web app developers significantly reduce the time it takes to develop a web app. We are currently supporting Spring Boot on the back-end and Angular (and Angular Material) on the front-end. It's a free platform.
I would love to get your feedback on whether you think that fastCode will be useful to you and for what use cases.
Thank you very much for any feedback you can provide us.

I work with OutSystems at work and this seems interesting, but I don't understand how it's a "free platform" given the amount of work and complexity to maintain such a project. Are there plans for monetization later down the line?
From my (somewhat limited, < 1 year) experience with low-code, here's what I think is most important to hit:
Wish you luck with your startup!
I am very curious to understand what you think about this article that I published today about the problems with proprietary low-code platforms: dev.to/fastcodeinc/low-code-platfo...
I will definitely keep an eye on your platform, since a lot of what is said in that article lines up quite well with my ideal low-code setup!
Do you guys have an idea of what features will be kept from the Community Edition vs paid ones? Also, what kind of pricepoints are we talking?
The paid editions will mostly be consisting of visual development tools and additional add-on modules. We haven't yet decided on the price points for the paid editions, but they will be priced per developer seat per year. All the information about our community edition is available from our features page: getfastcode.com/features.
Generally, low-code platform vendors such as OutSystems sell to the IT executive (top-down selling), whereas we are selling to the developer (bottom-up selling).
Have you seen any other startups doing anything similar to what we are doing?
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, there are plans to monetize it down the road. The community edition is free and we will be introducing paid editions in the future.
