Hey @Jjenglert
Thanks for your replies to everyones concerns but I hope you wont mind me adding my voice to these concerens which are, certainly in my case, very real.
I have experienced all the issues raised in all these posts. I have raised many of them with your support team whom, I think, got a bit fed up with me banging on about them. But there are so many more extremely basic fundementals that no longer work when new features or blocks are released. The feeling I get is they are rolled out quickly and largely untested in the real world.
Just one example, the new table block that was released had so many issues to start with it was virtually unseable. The pageination functions simply did not work and for weeks I was unable to show data. They did finally fix it and those options are good, but it find it unbelievable that it was released the first time the way it was - and even more unbelievable it took nearly a month of me spending many hours talking to your support team explaining the problem.
By way of other examples on the new Table block - you cannot position column data left/centre/right. With currency data my table looks a complete mess with nothing aligning up easily to the users eye. Sizing of the columns is limited. The smallest column size still leaves a large blank ‘waste of space’ when the data within is small. Text size - now only small medium large. This is is not enough when you have tables where I am trying to squeeze in a lot of columns.
All these features were staples on the old style table block. The new table block has some good additions, but at a cost of the old ones being left out. Worst still - if I upgrade my app to the new version, I can then no longer even add an old style blocks if those older features are imprative (although I am told there may be some quirky workaround for that but I am still not sure what that is)
New Style Calender blocks - colours are no longer suported. I was told this would be “introduced” by the end of the week (when raised a month ago) but I still dont think they are. Anyway, I have gone back to my old calender blocks now.
And as for the term “no code”. hmmmm
At the start of using Softr I would have agreed with that mostly. Then as time has gone on I would rephrase that to “a bit of code” and now with these new release not working well it is emphatically “A lot of code just to make it work”. Not a great look Softr.
I could go on…
I like Soft and its concept and very much want it to work like all your other users here. But at 3k a year this needs to get a lot better and a lot faster. I suggest you forget the Full Stack ambition for the time being and get the basics right first. I have a suspician that give the track record of everything even if the full stack is released (it’s already moved on 3 months over its first promised date I was given) it is going to be so buggy or limited people will be reluctant to use it, at least at first. Certianly that will be the case for me.
BTW, your support team are really good and none of this is a knock at them. They can only work with what they have, but increasingly lately their answers have been " that feature was dropped as a decision".
