Open Lowcode is a solution for rapid development of specific enterprise software. With Open Lowcode, you can develop quickly specific software by assembling pre-existing software bricks to your exact requirements.
In a few hours or at most a few days of work, you get a real multi-user application that really fits your needs with all the security, data segregation, and scalability that you currently get from multi-million dollar enterprise solutions or more rigid cloud offerings.
Open Lowcode today is a perfect fit to digitalize budget planning and program management processes involving hundreds of people. With Open Lowcode, you build the app you really need for your special process, suppressing any need for costly pre or post-processing. Apps using the technology version 1 are alreadying running at Airbus.
Current challenges are to build version 2, which will be much more friendly to non-coders, and sell the product to other companies. I am in the middle of the painful process of learning enterprise sales, leveraging my network. One of the main challenges is to sell the "lean" / "low-cost" aspect of the tool, which is much harder than I thought. I plan to scale the project (currently mostly a one-man-show) when I find enough customers to make it sustainable.
Low-code (rapid application development) tools are in competition with spreadsheets at the low-end, Saas Software (very convenient, but rigid and captive) and classical enterprise software (quite complex and not always flexible). The low-code scene is quite crowded now, it seems we all had the same idea at the same time, with both specialized players (Appian...) and big actors (Amazon, Google).
In this crowded scene, Open Lowcode positioning is:

In this crowded scene, Open Lowcode positioning is:
- full open-source: so that companies will never be a captive customer again
- stable technology stack: Open Lowcode only uses proven technology (java, sql...) that will still be there in two decades to avoid the utmost waste of technical migrations.
- developer-friendly: I strongly believe that coding is the best way to solve some type of business needs, so the product has all the 'extension points' required for coders to develop the 'last mile' of the solution
- ergonomics for real work: Focus is 100% on 'real-work' (done on a 'real' computer with keyboard, mouse, big screen...).
