Use Godot as a Serious Low Code (Web) App Development Platform?

[nofatetech]

Hi. I’ve been a web developer for 20+ years. I am a fan of Godot and try to do a little gamedev. Recently I am getting into Low Code tools that do the low level work I have done for many years, and they let let me get into the real app building part.

I just had this idea that Godot is a great platform to just create, and it could be the next Flash, it could be a great web framework to replace much of the JS framework BS, and much more. I am still processing this idea and doing some tests but I thought I would try to put it in writing and maybe other people might find it useful.

Is this a crazy idea?

Cheers!

Inspiration:

• Single code, many export platforms;
• low code;
• pro app dev for everyone;
• bubble.io workflows and database editor;
• Flash, Macromedia Director, C++ Builder, etc etc (GUI and code);
• Personal Web: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zswyWBtF-7Y
• Easy Self hosted or not;

MVC

• Data models, sqlite, ORM, easy data types management; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vAkTHeoORk;
• Controllers with orchestrator for low code.
• Views with Godot GUI.

BACKEND?

• Optional external backends (supabase, buildship, Laravel, Flask, etc).

MODULAR

• just a philosophy to create all kinds of apps.
• Modules for common functionalities (repeating groups, set state of object, connect to data sources, easy auth, etc)
• Allow creativity
• Make great fast HTML exports, DIVs and basic CSS?
