This site is in an intermediate state of transition from old appcubator to new appcubator, and is no longer maintained. It used to host the editor statics, store users and app states in a DB. It connects to appmake and deployment to provide codegen and hosting functionality.

Post-mortem plan: The conceptual ideas and learnings of Appcubator will be published and released in a series of blog posts, and appcubator.com will 302 to blog.appcubator.com.

Target blog posts:

1. The old product screenshots and architecture
2. The new product screenshots and architecture
3. The story of why we did what we did (ie timeline with explanation for transitions)

Futuristic app-development. Get started quick with a visual editor, don't deal with web servers, databases, web security, repository config. If you know python and have a sense of design, you can make a web app.

1. Start a virtualenv

virtualenv --distribute venv
. venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Make manage.py executable

chmod +x manage.py

5. Setup the database

./manage.py syncdb --noinput
./manage.py migrate

6. Go

./manage.py runserver
