Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your post and feedback. I can understand clearly your position.
With Wappler our goal is to deliver a very stable high-end product that shines with its visual integration of the top web development frameworks and huge productivity boost as low code platform.
It might have been a bit unfortunate That you jump in exactly weeks before the final release of Wappler 3.0 in the time of the beta updates which were indeed with many new features and sometimes breaking changes till it all got finalized in Wappler 3.0
Also by choosing not to use the integrated server side API builder and framework Server Connect, you are actually stripping half of Wappler’s power. By implementing the same functionality with google functions and plugging them in Wappler as API, You are actually doing twice the work and making yourself very difficult. Hence maybe your struggles.
The quick updates cycles and introduction of new features are part of our The Wappler's philosophy
Nevertheless now that Wappler 3 is out we plan to have a larger stability improvement period and also after that, we plan switch to beta and stable channel of Wappler releases.
So make sure all issues you encounter are well reported in our #wappler-general:general-bugs section as this is how we handle the issue tracking in Wappler
And keep on providing us with feedback so we can improve And continue to build Wappler as the perfect tool!
