I am actually going through an exercise right now to re-write a VFP app that I have had going for 15 years or more.
My requirements for the replacement are:
1. It needs to run on Windows, Linux, Mac (it could be a web solution for these) and be native Android & iOS
2. Could be run as SaaS or onsite
3. The development tool/environment needs to have good support
4. Development should be quick (provide some sort of framework where I need to pretty much only provide business logic.
5. Should be able to handle different cultures/locales
6. Should be affordable (preferably free :0) )

I have looked at Low Code or No Code tools and Like AppGyver.com (free and promising) so far but I need to dig into it more. There are others out there like Kony - Quantum, Cuba.platform, Aware IM, Quixy, Caspio and lots more.

I have considered Vienna Advantage, Alpha Anywhere, Servoy, Lianja, DevExpress XAF that are all, broadly speaking, development frameworks. Lianja looks good (if somewhat dated, but I guess that should be able to be changed) although I find the licensing confusing.

I have looked at more raw development languages like X#, Xamarin, Flutter & dart, React, Go. I like Flutter and it can create apps on all platforms.

I have also considered that the fastest way to get my app "in the cloud" will be to use FoxInCloud which I may go with initially and then start to re-write it in whatever tool I decide on.

So, I'm hoping this turns into an active thread so I can get more opinions and ideas. :)
