Dear all,

As a reminder, I am Walter Almeida, the creator the low-code development platform Generative Objects (GO) ([https://www.generativeobject.com](https://www.generativeobject.com)), that I am now fully open sourcing.

I created a connector to Solid and [dpPedia.org](http://dpPedia.org) and presented it in Solid World May : [Solid World May 2020](http://forum.solidproject.org/t/solid-world-may-2020/2984/17?u=walter.almeida)

I am now proposing to host an event to present more deeply my integration work between GO and Solid, and demonstrate how to actually create in minutes a SOLID application, without writing a line of code.

The intention is to get your feedback, evaluate the relevance of this integration and the value it can bring to the Solid community and see what is required next to make the most of this integration.

It is also an invitation for anyone who would be interested in joining the GO project or use the GO platform for their own projects.

Please tell me as comment to this post if you are interested, and where you are, so that I can arrange a time that would suit all participant time zones.

You can see the slides of my Solid World may presentation here :

This looks very interesting! I am extremely interested in no-code and low-code oriented solid apps.

I tried to connect to [https://solid-demo.generativeobjects.com/](https://solid-demo.generativeobjects.com/) using two of my WebIDs ([https://kidehen3.solid.openlinksw.com:8444/profile/card#me](https://kidehen3.solid.openlinksw.com:8444/profile/card#me) and [https://kidehen3.solid.openlinksw.com:8445/profile/card#me](https://kidehen3.solid.openlinksw.com:8445/profile/card#me)) but the interaction appeared to hangup.

Are there any assumptions being made by the app about what’s in my profile e.g., TypeIndexes etc?

Screenshot depicts my current connection related issue.

Hello @kidehen,  
Thank your for your interest ! This demo is old already, not working properly. It was an early attempt. I have progressed since then, you can check this post :

> [@Demonstration of creating a full SOLID application using low-code technology](http://forum.solidproject.org/t/demonstration-of-creating-a-full-solid-application-using-low-code-technology/3458):

> Hey everyone ! Following all our discussions towards low-code development applied to rapid creation of SOLID applications (check here : [New decentralized social network, specialized in sharing public and Creative Common content](http://forum.solidproject.org/t/new-decentralized-social-network-specialized-in-sharing-public-and-creative-common-content/3027)), I have finalized an integration of a SOLID Pod connector to GO-Lowcode (Generative Objects open source low code development platform). Here is a demonstration video of this integration, that shows how to create a fully functional SOLID application in less than 30 minu…

It is a full demo on how to create a SOLID application using GO-LowCode. I will write to you on that thread !

Very interesting project! I’m planning to build something simillar, and still in process of finding which lowcode engine I should use in [GitHub - antdimot/awesome-lowcode: A collection of Awesome low-code development platform (LCDP).](https://github.com/antdimot/awesome-lowcode#visual-programming)

I will try store the UI description JSON to SoLiD, and save data to it.

Hello @linonetwo

Thank you for sharing this. I am finalizing a new version of Generative Objects, and planning on doing an acceleration program to welcome founding developers to Generative Objects project. How about connecting and sharing about this and see how I can support you in building Solid application using low code. What I am proposing with Generative Objects is more than low-code, it is what I call Meta low-code, which makes a low code platform to create low code platforms and target any technological stack, including Solid. This is something that no other low-code platform is doing. Please tell me if you want to dive deeper in what we could do together

Looking at these, these all seem like companies — I think you’ll need to look more towards open-source and what exists there and how they might map towards solid & it’s way of storing data (e.g., RDF types & schemas)

Yes, seems links in that repo are mostly SaaS instead of Framework.

Here are some options of fine licensed frameworks I’m considering:

I will be happy to have opportunity to share some insight on low-code & solid with you. Connect existed low-code framework to SoLiD data source will require some efforts, which can be shared if we have similar target.

I’m going to use [low-code-engine](https://github.com/alibaba/lowcode-engine) at this moment, because it its readme is promising, and has been opensourced for a while. And my first project is using it to build a static site that host layout JSON and enging via Github pages, so no SoLiD datasource is required for this moment.

But my next project will need SoLiD to create dynamic marketplace site, so we can work together if GO fits my need. (I need to read source code to be confident about GO, so looking forward for its online and opensource!)

Maybe we can set up a zoom talk sometime this weekend? Or maybe later, not a hurry.

I was a low-code platform engineer at ByteDance a.d. department (now quite and rising a startup that will use SoLiD), so we indeed will have something useful to share for each other 🙂

Yes it definitely makes sense to connect I believe. Actually, I have already created a first version of a SOLID data source, directly integrated in Generative Objects, so we can already create SOLID applications using Generative Objects. Obviously there will be more work to do as it is a first version ! Have you seen the videos where I demonstrate this ?

Yes, I see the promising youtube video, but the website link is broken so I can’t try it myself, or learn from the code.
