I can't help but think this will only result in disasters. “Business people have a hard time grasping the fundamental concepts behind web applications, and they often lack the patience required”

Exactly. That's why those business people hire developers to build their web applications. If we're going to let them create their webapps using drag & drop, what do we expect for an outcome?

Hey, we all started somewhere...

We do not expect miracles, but we help beginners of web development get started quickly with web apps, and we're going to see what they can achieve given time.

I'm very interested in working with this, despite being a full time web developer. I have a couple ideas I'd like to execute, but neither the time nor attention span to build them out in the evenings. This gives me a good base app to build from, and if I need to get fancy, I break into the django code and do so.

I'm really looking forward to getting started!
