What is Noodl?

TL;DR - Noodl is an open-source tool one can use to build web apps, rapidly & visually and without needing much coding knowledge. It allows one to build both, just a frontend as well as a full-stack app (frontend+backend).


The long version:

  • Noodl is now a fully open-source tool, which implies, a significant increase in freedom and security, to begin with.

  • The Noodl Editor (also shown in the image above) is a Visual Development Environment. This is one of the strongest features of Noodl, because it turns building apps into a simpler and fun experience. And not just fun, this feature alone, helps a lot with increasing the speed of development, aka, Rapid Prototyping and Development. Amateur or expert, most users end up falling for this feature.

  • The underlying framework in Noodl is ReactJS, another dynamic and time-tested framework that we have today. Noodl very elegantly abstracts away the complexities of the core language/framework, and makes available to the user all the important concepts, like Signals, Reusable Components, Live Previews, etc.

  • But Noodl isn't limited to just these entities. Being a low-code tool, it allows for usage of Custom Javascript, pretty much to any extent as one feels comfortable.

  • To help writing the Custom Javascript, among other tasks, Noodl also has a built-in AI integration. The AI is well integrated into the Noodl framework and can help user to generate the building blocks, like UI components, functions, database queries, etc.

  • Also, this elaborate tool doesn't come without the capability for Collaboration with other users! And the projects can all be synced via Git. This makes Noodl a great choice for Team environments as well.

  • When it comes to deploying your project, because Noodl exports the entire app onto your local machine, to be deployed as is, the possibilities are endless. You can then determine how scalable, secure, robust you want your app to be by having full control over the Deployment strategy, suited completely to your requirements.

  • And of course, Noodl has an active community, with multiple Forks as well as, templates and prefabs being released by various community members, every now and then.
