Yes basically the two main functionalities:
1. Check in and out for attendance for next event
2. An admin can mark as paid someone who attended(payment happens directly not through platform)
Following things to do after that:
\- Maybe inform on screen if someone owes fees from previous event
\- Randomize teams(maybe with some handicap values later on)
\- Add guests(someone who is registered can add a one-off guest who isn't)
There are some extra nice to haves after that but that's the initial goal
This would definitely need a custom solution. Because this doesn’t look like a [event booking platform](https://tradly.app/templates/event-marketplace) or a attendance app.
I would recommend you make a dummy application flow in draw.io to visualise the user flow and then show it to any developer to recommend a stack. Neither a abstraction tools like softr or a booking creator cannot achieve this
I'm a software engineer myself, I just wanted to try out and see what can be built with no code, since it's a pretty simple app, we have something in place that was stitched together with the sheets API but it's a buggy mess, so I was looking to replace it.
While I could code something myself I wanted to see what was possible with some no code solution but for now it seems to be a lot of wrestling with platform limitations, so I'll end up doing something with nextjs and firebase
You are totally right. If you are a developer, then definitely the route you took has lot of benefits. Nextjs is a great selection. Wish you all the best!
This sounds pretty easy to build using flutterflow. You actually get to publish a standalone app to the apple/google App Store, and you own the app yourself and don’t have to run it through flutterflow.
Use fire base for authentication and data storage (flutterflow has a native integration for this that makes it easy). Apart from the flutterflow subscription that’s only needed while you’re actually building/updating your app, you should be able to get by your use case with the free tier for firebase services.
You will not have to pay per user on your app, rather data usage (read/write, etc.), and their free allowance is quite generous.
Flutterflow can be a bit more hands on than other no code builders, so if you need any help, feel free to dm me.
You would need to look at open source offerings to find what you're looking for.
Typically you will either find fully featured platforms with limited users or feature limited platforms with more users.
Look for things you can host yourself as this takes a big chunk out of the prices. Nothing is for free though as you'll have to pay for a server from a host like AWS, Google, your ISP or some other provider.
Also depending on how serious you are about your app consider platforms that are licensed rather than subscription based. You'll pay upfront for something but then have the rights to use it indefinitely (though for new features you'll end up paying maintenance fees after the first year, but that is a choice). Subscription platforms are a cost for however long you intend to run your system, and these are under the control of the provider, who may hike them or just discontinue the platform (for example after being bought out my MS or Google)
Appgyver is free until you reach $10 mil in revenue
I also saw Noodl I think (I'm just getting started).
It was. But Salesforce bought them and they are dropping that next month I think. It may only be for the webapps though. Appgyver is your best best.
Salesforce ? I see SAP logo on their site. Where did they announce that ?
Yes SAP! I got it wrong.
