Hi everybody,
So I’m new to this, but I’ve tried some no code stuff, and I’m hooked.
I’m in the process of evaluating the faisability of no code for a elearning project, and I was hoping you guys could provide some answers to the interrogations that I have.
What I want to achieve
- I want to populate a wordpress site together with iOS and Android apps from the same database.
- This is an elearning project for my work as an instructor. This is for content like definitions, questions & answers, videos, and various activities around several different topics.
This is for a WP site that’s already getting traffic, mainly from Google.
I’m 100% sure I’d mess urls and SEO if I were to replace WP with Wappler altogether, hence my way of thinking.
My needs
-
I’m basically the no in no code, so I need something that’s easy. For the database, I’m thinking of something like Google Sheets, Airtable or stuff like that.
-
I need both WP and the apps to update each time I add something to the spreadsheet.
-
On WP and the apps, there will be freely accessible content, and an area reserved to registered students, providing content that’s contextual to the students (their class, their major, etc.)
-
No vendor lock-in, or at least enough peace of mind in that area. I feel lucky to have learned about Wappler before going all-in in another tool.
-
Performance. I’ve read some tools lack in that area.
-
As easy to make and use as possible, within reason.
What I’ve tried (quickly)
-
Adalo, Appsheet and Appgyver.
-
As for WP, I’m pretty sure you can automatically update content on WP when Google Sheets is updated. Google Sheets would be connected to WP custom fields (with ACF).
-
I’ve learned that Airtable API isn’t available open right now. I also know that some services allow easy API creation from Google Sheets. (But I don’t know if those actually work.)
My questions (finally)
-
Is this actually achievable in Wappler ?
-
Can this provide a reasonably fast experience for app users, keeping in mind we might have 5000-10000 students, 2000 definitions, 10000 Q&A across 100 or so categories over time ? (plus many images and videos, but I’m guessing these can be hosted somewhere)
-
What kind of spreadsheet too would you recommend, if any ? Any comments about the whole spreadsheet endeavour and its implications please ?
Hope long post is ok.
Thanks !
