Marko here from Codaxy. For over two years, we have been working on CxReports, a low-code tool for creating user-facing PDF documents and reports.

We first saw the problem in wealth management, where reports are crucial for the user experience. Software vendors have customers who ask for customized reports with unique content, branding, and visuals. The solution was to build a tool that allows customization for each customer, which even customers themselves can use. Over time, this evolved to be a generic solution that works for various other use cases.

CxReports lets you build reports visually. You can connect to a database and get data using SQL queries. It supports scheduled report generation and delivery. The API enables accessing CxReports from other applications or workflows.

You can easily try it out with our Docker image - https://docs.cx-reports.com/getting-started/docker/.

We offer a free tier for registered users.

How do you currently handle customized reporting? Are there specific challenges you face with generating user-facing reports? I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Looking forward to the discussion!

We're working on a powerful UI framework that offers many advanced features such as a touch-friendly component library with form elements, advanced data-tables and charts, form validation, data-binding, visual themes, etc. For developers, such a framework boosts productivity tremendously by saving time they would spend developing or integrating individual components from multiple sources. Even with professional support and all these features, we don't see a lot of interest and we're wondering why that is.

Would you ever pay for such a product? Do you think that commercial frameworks of this kind need to have a large company behind them in order to succeed? What would lead you to pick a commercial framework in favor of many free alternatives?
