Hi John,

Lianja does that UI/data integration for web apps.

Using WebAssembly (a matter of filling in 6 or so fields and pressing a button) the web app can be a desktop app -- hitting a cloud server that can be local or remote.

There are many options (and thus a lot to explore, learn, use) and that's the point: you have the options available.

Your backend data operations can be in any of the supported languages: VFP/LianjaScript, Python, Javascript, PHP.

>I haven't found any GUI framework or library today that doesn't have some form of sizers/flexbox/grid system to position controls. I really like the CSS stuff but haven't found anything that really works well or better than just hand coding the properties I want. When I say better I mean easier and able to handle what I want.
>The biggest thing with Dabo is how it handles data. Like Fox it does a great job. Not having to code the association between a control and data is very big for me. Dabo just handles all of it. Most (if not all) of the web stuff does not attempt to deal with data for Crud apps. In fact, most of the new stuff like Flutter, Flet are just single page apps. They don't allow for multi-pages being open at the same time or opening the same page multiple times - like we can do with desktop apps. Of course they work because often we only want straight line websites (go forward or backward is allowed). When someone comes up with a web development tool that matches fox or Dabo I'll be first in line - for sure.
