When you figure out you missed something in your app, do you find it easier to redo the whole thing? Some of my pages have MANY components visibility and such, that I like, but feel if I rework my app, i may have to do it from scratch. Any thoughts on that process or things you have done in a simila…

[image] dmcrabby: Can you copy all the components from 1 and use them again on another page? Probably you can duplicate the tab and make changes where you need, while keeping the old tab as a fallback option just in case. Without knowing much about how you currently set up things, just talki…

You’re probably referring to a similar thread I’ve made a bit earlier : [image] All the page components get deleted after sheet change Report a Bug Dear all, I’m not sure if that’s considered as a bug, but I’m experiencing an annoying situation. When I create a whole pag…

A bummer part of rebuilding/reworking an app is that you can’t have two GDE’s open at the same time, so if you make a fresh one, or a duplicate of your app you can’t compare them side-by-side on the back end. Plus no copying/pasting of components across screens/tabs/apps etc.

yeah, that is annoying. What I normally do to work around that is make a duplicate of the app, and then have that open in another window to use as a comparison. And at other times I’ve taken screenshots of all component and column configurations :rofl:

I have recently had to rebuild an app, and building it from scratch turned out to be the best option. You can go back to the database and do some serious tinkering, using any new skills you have developed. This doesn’t just help the back end, as it usually allows some front end tweaks that would ha…

I’ve found there are some serious traps that you can’t get out of, and unfortunately, starting from scratch seems to be the best option. The road to learning the best practices for your particular application has some big potholes - the kind that leave you with a flat tire LOL.

I’m taking the hit on my app (telemedicine) to redo using Tabs. I hide the tab menu with css / leaving the hamburger and back (in some places). I have flows in my app driven by increments (click a button, add 1, changes visibility). That works really nicely… But things can get complex fast, espec…

I think so. I have been working on it and then adding a sheet when I couldn’t relate something for a reason and now it seem I have so many columns I don’t know where anything goes anymore. So trying not to rethink recreating an app with all the data I have…

Right?! I have seemed to have “columned” myself into problems I can’t get out of. As I am still learning and have an awesome workable app for me… but want to update it so there are user specific fields and then I am trying to navigate how to go pro and sell the app and then update things on an admin…
