@anders_moller We are launching "toddle packages" soon which will make it possible to build custom components and functionality for toddle, and share it with the community. Initially it will not be possible to sell these packages, but that is something we could consider at at a later stage. We are working with several No-code backend platforms to make it as simple as possible to get started.

@jofra_g People are often presenting UX(User experience) and DX(Developer experience) as being opposites. I don't think they have to be. We try to design toddle in a way that the easiest way is also usually the "best" way. "Best" here can mean more performant, more SEO friendly or the solution that offers better accessibility for the end user. A lot of the common issues with frameworks like React, VUE and Angular is that you often end up loading a ton of unnecessary code up front, thereby making your pages load slower. Because toddle is an integrated language, framework and hosting platform, we can optimize a lot of these things without the developer having to think about it. Similarly server side rendering is often the cause of a ton of complications in these frameworks, where in toddle the developers never have to think about it.

@simon_holmes I think there are a ton of opportunities to extend toddle with a lot of different AI features. Right now we have an incredibly help fult AI that is trained on all of our documentation, Youtube videos and support channels, and is a great tool if you are just getting started with toddle. In the future we will add more copilot like features, including autocomplete of formulas / workflows etc. I think tools like toddle is actually positioned optimally for AI generated content, because it will be simpler for the user to understand what the AI has genrated.

@iqra_naseem Seeing everything our users are building is definitely the most rewarding part of building toddle: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/up... And hearing their feedback: https://whatistoddle.toddle.site/ Other than that I have a team who are the best people I have ever worked with.

@shambhavi_mahajan1 You can absolutely do that. You could e.g. create an assistant with OpenAI and then build that chat interface for it in toddle.

@kazynski We dont have any specific integration with metamask, but toddle works with any web technology. You can create custom actions in toddle that can use the metamask SDK. https://toddle.dev/docs/custom-a... https://docs.metamask.io/wallet/...

@patrik_hormann Today we have a great community that is especially supportive of newcomers. You can join here: https://discord.com/invite/QcFjj... We are soon launching toddle packages, which lets you building components in toddle and share them with the whole community. It will be a great way to contribute and help others. Stay tuned!.

@andreas_toddle I already joined your Discord, it has been a great experience and helped out a lot already! Do you have a rough timeline for when packages will be available? Do you plan to audit creators or packages to make sure they are "best practice"? Will there be a guide on how to create a package?

@jacob_kofoed We currently have an AI helper that is trained on all our documentation, youtube videos and support questions. It is a great way to quickly find an answer to a question without having to browse through a ton of content. You can find it on our discord channel, https://toddle.dev/ask-a-robot and In side the editor it self.

@patrik_hormann Yes we get that question a lot :) The first version of toddle was built with React js. Once that version of the editor was mature enough, we started rebuilding toddle in toddle. This is really common for programming language such as TypeScript and Rust, where the compiler is written in the language it self.

@patrik_hormann We created a course called "Learn toddle in 7 days" which is specifically for people new to web development. https://youtube.com/playlist?lis... I strongly recommend building the projects from each video, so you familiarize your self with the concepts of toddle :)

@denis_tl We launched our beta on ProductHunt last year and saw a ton of interest from the community. Many of those early signups are building great products today!

@andreas_toddle And answering my first question?

@erik_beuschau toddle gives you a visual interface for building your applications. This means that every change you make is immediately reflected in the editor. No more tabbing between windows and waiting for browsers to reload. When you are working with logic, you have access to live data, so in each step of your formula, you can see what the value is going to be. Similar to working with a REPL if you are familiar with those. This means that no matter what you are working on, you get instant feedback and can therefore iterate much faster than otherwise possible. toddle is built for teams, so you can have your designer implement their designs, have a product manager is updating copy and media assets, while you as a developer is working on the business logic. This means that product managers and designers no longer need to come to you for simple changes.

@patrik_hormann Every creator or team is different, personally I am a big fan of the YAGNI principle ("You Ain't Gonna Need It") which states that you should focus on building one feature at a time. Basically jump straight to step 7. Create components when you need them, not before. We mostly design directly in toddle, but for more complex UI flows we often do some brainstorming in figma first. We e.g. dont have a complete Figma design for toddle with the different components.

@andreas_toddle That makes sense, so start building the Page without components and when you see you repeat things you can put it into a component. Basically - "hardcoding" the layout until you think there is a faster way and create everything from design to flow of functionality as you go. Whats the first step to get started then? Lets say for a User Dashboard, what would you recommend to do in the first 2h?

@patrik_hormann We are working with a danish design agency kvalifik.dk to release their UI Kit for toddle. I think we will be announcing it this month. Otherwise dribbble can be a good place to find inspiration, Or you are more than welcome just just copy ours :)

@oleg_shumar Some of the team use GitHub copilot for the server side code. Glad you like toddle! No we don’t store any data flowing through our edge nodes. We will let’s users use edge caching later, but it will be opt in.

@getsharp_au Unlike other no-code platforms, toddle is designed from the ground up to meet the requirements of professional software teams. This means that toddle is flexible to handle what ever requirements you have now or In the future. This means more flexibility, better performance and more powerful collaboration features.

@xyz_333 It is generally quite easy for developers to pick up toddle. It borrows a lot of concepts from modern frameworks like React and Angular so the transition is usually quite smooth. If you know HTML and CSS, you can build UI's in toddle right away. The biggest challenge is usually just giving it a try, since no-code tools transitionally haven't had too much to offer if you can code.
