Hyperfiddle is a “UI modeling language” in a notebook that lets programmers deliver back of house applications, custom-tailored to the business, at a fraction of the cost and risk.
In this demo, we build a tee-shirt order admin UI on top of three database query functions from a pre-existing backend ('orders', 'genders' and 'shirt-sizes'). We use the Hyperfiddle UI modeling language to model a quick working UI, which updates interactively as you type.
Programmer culture (no GUI stuff, just notebooks)
Seamlessly integrated with your backend by secure remote function connectors (no hand-coded API needed)
Scales to the most complicated UIs with a dynamic query/view composition model, based on pure functional programming
Hyperfiddle is powered by Photon, a streaming Clojure/Script dialect that brings composability across the frontend/backend boundary with a network-aware compiler.
"I think you're the first ever to really break through the cruft in the web space and propose a real solution to the vaguely-defined, vaguely-mathematical question underpinning millions of hours of wasted JavaScript programming."
"This is a great piece by @dustingetz. Frontend/backend abstraction is outdated. We need to design higher level abstractions for building web applications of the future."
"There’s been nothing conceptually new for years but here you’ve got a system here that is truly revolutionary."
