I love that the developers release their projects on there to share with the world. It is really cost efficient for people who don’t have much money to spend but need good quality software.
Sometimes when there is a long pull request it can be quite tedious to look over and see recent changes. Also bad merge operations can cause a world of trouble that is difficult to reverse.
GitHub has great documentation available, it is a great tool for code collaboration and remote collaboration, and provides a nice and simple way to have code and version history available online.
The cons of this is that there is no certainty that each development works well or that it has a bug that may generate a problem or error.
I like how it's easy to use and intuitive, but also offers enough customization for when we need it. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a good version control software.
The search function is quite often bad. Also a dark mode is missing.
Community is super friendly and it’s a great platform to work on certain coding activities with a group of people.
It also sadly has no mobile app/mobile support at all.
I had a fair few questions for support as I went along and they got us to where we needed to be which was really helpful. Love the stripe integration.
When I first started using Softr.io it was very limited on functionality, however the whole No Code movement was new and so there was lack of support and resources on all software.
Extremely simple to use + the customer service is excellent + excellent product management (every new feature is absolutely clean and perfect. There are new features every month).
The learning curve may be difficult for a newbie. Sometimes autosave gets confused when making updates to your app.
The ease of use of Softr is impressive and this comes together with a great time to value. You will be able to build a simple landing page in minutes, and an MVP in hours.
Absence of Q&A section, lack of advice for SEO of the page.
Very easy to use and great that you don't have to focus so much on layout like in other no-code tools. Connection with Airtable makes the tool extremely useful.
Through the block editor nature it loses some of its customization options.
Sebastian B.: I'm Sebastian. I'm the CEO of Toyoko, and I give GitHub five out of five. I've been using SPN and so forth. They were good products, but they were centralized. That's why I switched to GitHub. I started using GitHub because everybody was doing, so I started to check it, and then I saw that it was better, especially from SPN, because I noticed a more distributed workflow. Starting with GitHub was not easy at the beginning, but now when I add somebody to the team to use GitHub, it's way easier because it improved a lot related with tutorial and documentation. So if I have to start from scratch now with GitHub, it would be easy for me. I think that GitHub nowadays is the default software for sharing and building applications. So there's not much to choose, only GitHub and GitLab, and I think that GitHub has way more features, and GitHub is the place where most people will look for your software.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
