I have used this prototyper to build a full SaaS with literally every feature that you can think of in speed. I have used it to build another software for a company to track sales, which is adequately in use.
I’ve also used it to build 3 other functional platforms. And even though I am not a core programmer, I have worked with a couple of prototypers and while I give kudos to Google for the affordability and cloud computing integrations, I also feel like they are core and important features that are lacking.
The most crucial of them is the manual saving of changes. Often times, I’ll make manual changes to my codes, for it to be added and saved to my project, I have to tell the prototyper to do that for me.
Most times it will remove every changes i added and return what I remvoved despite giving it instrcution of changes and save request. This can be time consuming and frustrating.
The other day, I uploaded images to /images/my-image-path/ and shared the paths with prototyper to replace the placeholder.co that was there, it keeps dancing around the corner and keep deleting the paths I set on the manifest.json for my PWA, and the marketing pages…
This is a major downside about Google prototyper as majority of others, though expensive, you can easily make manual changes, one click to save and also 1 click download of full codes.
