We have been testing nuBuilder Forte in our office for a couple of days while looking for a low-code solution for a couple of clients and really like the approach nuBuilder takes to create low-code applications easily but be able to add complexity to it using php and Javascript at any time.
The main thing we do miss in the current version is the ability to use a modern UI that displays and scales well on different displays/resolutions and devices (e.g. tablets). E.g. the standard font size is way too small for most use-cases and the interface is not suited for touch. Changing the css file is cumbersome since styles are defined in a lot of places and most of the definitions are in px and not in em or rem to scale easily. On top of that a lot of placing/sizing definitions are done within NuBuilders UI and using px so there is no way to make the UI responsive without ripping right into NuBuilder.
Are there plans to switch to a different way to design the UI? E.g. Bootstrap 4 would be great - this would make it also easier to integrate third-party elements.
Imagine just how great it would be for the list browse and form parts to use existing libraries and be able to switch themes!
