Hi, everyone,

  1. I’m using Xano as backend so I miss this integration.
  2. I’m missing kanban component for different data visualization.
  3. Some kind of actions creator would be nice :slight_smile:

Hey @dzochowski,

I don’t know Xano, but since its backend I assume you would communicate over API? If so, you can work with HTTP API actions to have that communication. If it’s some other integration like their database, you might want to propose that on UI Bakery’s feedback site.

As for Kanban components, there is already a feature request marked as Planned on said feedback site, so it will be coming soon, keep an eye on the updates.

Lastly about the action creator, this is a bit of a vague request. What exactly should be the function of this creator and what makes it different from the way actions are currently created?

I don’t like how when you have a larger JavaScript code action you end up with two scroll bars. It makes it difficult to scroll down and up.

Debugging code within a UI component is difficult as there is no way to test run it and there are no logs of the action. So, figuring out a simple typo in a UI component’s data field can be difficult.

The AI assistant only works in the actions area. It would be nice if the AI assistant was also available in other areas where we code such as the UI components.

When executing an action we now have the ability to proceed from a step. This feature is great! But, it would be nice to be able to execute a single step only.

It would be nice to choose the resolution of the main body window. I work on a high resolution screen but I’m designing for a lower resolution screen. There is no way to see how it’s going to look. The ability to change the resolution of the body window vs having it default to the full available width would be nice.

Setting up a true multi user environment where multiple devs can work on the same application at once would be nice. Right now, the devs need to communicate with each in order to prevent merge conflicts.

Having the ability to add new cards to an accordion component programmatically would be a nice feature.

It would be nice to be able to extend the content window (the far right window on the top) to a longer length. I find I’m scrolling frequently in that window and I almost never use what’s right below the execute action button. I would want to do this without making the body area bigger.

I would be glad to share more ideas if you want. Just ping me.

Thank you for the reply and suggestions! As @Max mentioned, it would be wonderful if you could provide some details on which action creator features you feel are missing.

Hi @Dave_Goldfein, I appreciate the comprehensive list! I’ll definitely reach out to you to go over the pain points together.
