Oh how I wish for Postgres to introduce system-versioned (bi-temporal) tables.

The last few months we've seen the fall- or acquisitions of services such as internal.io, dynaboard.com, Uiflow, AWS honeycode, Disha, Skuid, spreadsheet.com[], and some low-code BaaS I don't recall the name of.

Where do you see yourselves compared to these services? I think businesses and devs grow ever-more considerate of the non-(F)OSS services they use.

[]not the same, but they have no-code as one of their main selling points

If you have the Fitbit Ionic or Versa, you could develop your own watch app and companion app, where the watch app will extract sensor data and websocket it to the companion app, which in turn could pass the data to your own backend/database. The API documentation is quite good from Fitbit.

Usually headless in this context refers to content being exposed through APIs instead of a generated user-facing frontend. This way, you can develop the user-facing frontend in whatever frontend libraries and frameworks you want and just consume and expose the CMS content through APIs, and you can use the same APIs to expose content in mobile apps etc... A typical example of a non-headless CMS is Wordpress where you get the admin panel for content management, _and_ a user-facing frontend for end-users to consume the content.

Thanks for the links and comparison to Jasonette! Any ETA on when Engine will be available?

Interesting! Inspired by Jasonette?

The name should probably be changed, Fastlane is a popular app automation service.

First off, thanks for all your work with the Ionic framework! I use it in education as part of an undergraduate course on cross-platform development, and the students thoroughly enjoy the developer experience.

Question: Do you have an ETA for release of the "Web Componentized" Ionic components? So looking forward to it, especially the potential of teaching e.g. Vue + Ionic components instead of having to put so much focus and effort on teaching Angular (which is a great framework, but requires a lot).

Fixed that for you :)

Watch the State of the Web talk from Google IO 2017. Certain native apps (Twitter, OLA) are 70-100MB in size when downloaded from the app stores. Their progressive web app version are 0.2-0.6MB. Extremely important in countries with very limited and/or expensive mobile data.

You didn't read the link, did you? It's a cross-platform app development tool. The fact that it allows devs to use JavaScript is simply due to interpreters (afaik).

Nice, a much-needed tool! Suggestion: make it a collaborative effort to keep it updated. In practice, it can be solved rather easily. Host the website on Github Pages. Have a single file in the github repository named e.g. conferences.json which the website reads over AJAX. Anyone can submit pull requests (PR) to add to or modify the conferences.json file, effectively allowing community members to help you maintain the website's freshness.
