Also, can we use external tools to manually edit? Because thereās always the case where you just want to change the one line, and it can be maddening to try to get AI to understand and edit without changing other things and waiting for it to āthinkā for 5 minutes about a 2 second edit. Itās gotten a lot better, but still.
Yes, sometimes you want to change only a title name or something that does not need the reshaping of the app. To use credits for that, I feel itās not necessaryā¦
To be honest, Iām postponing creating anything since I have a better picture of where this is goingā¦
My plan was to be able to share my portfolio with my clients, and I can not use my personal website because it has personal details ā¦ but now I will need to upgrade to Pro only for thisā¦I guess I will keep using Notion for that.
Anyway, I find it amazing that we can use the apps at least without sharing. I had created a wonderful Finance Dashboard overview with the first version of the app, and now I have to see how much it will be to create again with the new version. Hope you give us extra time to migrate!
Not yet, we are working on that
Can/will apps use button automations?
Itād be great to not need to manage the same workflow in multiple steps/places.

I second this!
Do you mean that custom apps should be able to incorporate/trigger an existing button automation?

Yes, thanks for clarifying.
I did some test here creating a dashboard for my finance space. Got pretty impressive and useful result 
.
But only with this dashboard and two or three refinements, all my credits were gone.
Nice app ā btw love the Convert Select Field to Database feature upcoming!
Possible now

Whoa!! This is super exciting. Iām imaging immediately being able to, for example, from a dashboard app, click on an entity and open the selected view for that entity (which also happens to be a custom app). Amazing!

This is pretty fantasticā¦ wow im excited.
Amazing. This can be useful for CRM use cases:
- Build personal chat via WhatsApp with customer (using hosted Open WA)
- Visualise various touch points with someone in one view, basically like a personal dashboard of leadās todos, notes, events, meetings, calls, etc.
Even for marketing posts on social media, we can maybe using API of meta or YouTube, sync back or display the performance metrics of a certain post.
Very useful indeed.
