A: WHAT ABOUT VENDOR LOCK-IN?

We understand that vendor lock-in is a valid concern, and we are actively addressing it to ensure our users have the freedom and flexibility they deserve.

EXPORT TO CODE:
Exporting to code is already on our roadmap. While vendor lock-in is a challenge for any platform, it’s important to note that transitioning from one technology stack to another (e.g., Java to C#) will always require some level of adaptation. That said, we are dedicated to developing solutions that reduce dependency on NoCode-X and provide you with the ability to transition if needed, though we are not there yet!

ESCROW CLAUSE FOR PEACE OF MIND:
One of the biggest concerns with vendor lock-in is the risk of the vendor ceasing to exist. To address this, NoCode-X includes an escrow clause. If we ever go into default, you will have the right to run your instance of NoCode-X independently. This ensures that your projects and applications remain accessible and functional, even in the worst-case scenario.

APPROVED VIABILITY:
For AppSumo users, we want to assure you that AppSumo has conducted a thorough financial vetting of our viability for at least the next three years. We successfully demonstrated our stability and growth potential, and with our community and roadmap, we are confident in our ability to expand and provide the assurance you deserve.

OUR ETHOS:
Our philosophy is to empower our users with freedom and control. We believe in creating a platform where customers stay because of the value they experience, not because they are locked in. Vendor lock-in is not part of our ethos, and we are committed to giving you the choice to continue with NoCode-X or transition to other solutions if you find them more viable.

GITHUB INTEGRATION AND FUTURE PLANS:
While GitHub integration is an interesting idea, it does not fully solve the vendor lock-in issue. However, we are exploring ways to provide transposable and extractable Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) into other programming languages. This is part of our long-term journey to open up the landscape and offer more flexibility to our users.

CURRENT INTEGRATIONS:
We already support integrations such as embedding NoCode-X apps in HTML with parameter and CSS support. Additionally, we are focusing on integrations with other technology stacks, respecting architectural principles like loose coupling and high cohesion. Whether you need flashy frontends or robust backends with strong data governance, NoCode-X is designed to support a wide range of architectural concepts.

ROADMAP AND COMMUNITY INPUT:
We are transparent about our progress and encourage you to check our roadmap for updates:
