Perfect solution to migratate your @nocodebackend powered applications.

Has anyone tried @nocodebackend 's native metadata MCP? I tried to connect to it in cursor but couldn't get it to work.

@its_james_coy @craftworkdesign @webflow @CuratedDesignHQ I also moved off webflow to next.js.

Low-code front-end builders = fast start, hard ceiling.
I broke free with React + @nocodebackend (Xano) → doubled my projects.
I built a React template that makes the jump painless and helps product owners elevate their project.

Been helping clients migrate projects from no-code front-end builders to the React ecosystem. No more vendor lock-in and you can infinitely expand your app.

If you have a project stuck in Weweb, Wized, Bubble...let's talk.

@harish_malhi Hi Harish, I sent you a DM.

@BitcoinDevKe It's so cute. Is that your cat?

@BitcoinDevKe Thanks Brian!

Just built a secure email inbox-to-maintenance ticket AI pipeline in @nocodebackend :
Postmark → Hookdeck (Basic Auth & retries) → Xano (HMAC & whitelist) → GCS for attachments (auto-refresh tokens) → Vertex AI for parsing → Xano ticket creation.

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

Data Flow
1. Receives email --> Postmark --> Hookdeck --> Xano.
2. Log Hookdeck event + Email.
3. Upload Attachments to GCS.
4. Invoke Vertex AI (Gemini) to extract data from email content and attachments. --> Ticket Creation.

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

@nocodebackend Auth & Verification
1. Postmark→Hookdeck: Basic Auth.
2. Hookdeck→Xano: SHA-256 HMAC header to verify payload integrity.
3. Email whitelist in Xano to reject unapproved senders. 4. Caches and refreshes Google Cloud token every hour in Xano

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

Tools
1. Postmark: Stream inbound emails to a webhook
2. Hookdeck: Reliable webhook solution that handles retries, request logging, and data transformation
3. Google Cloud Storage: Secure storage solution
4. Google Cloud Vertex AI: Security-compliant enterprise AI solution

Just discovered that even your “client-side” components in Next.js aren’t 100% client-only—the HTML still gets pre-rendered on the server for SEO, and hydrates again with full React hooks on the client.🤯

Putting the final touches on the landing page for my booking system template 🔧
Built for @nocodebackend agencies who want ready-to-go UI and all the essential booking features.

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

Just built a no-code MCP server in Xano @nocodebackend that lets Claude talk to Xano's Metadata API—worked like a charm.

With the right permissions, you can build AI-powered admin tools, onboarding bots, or even public query assistants.

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend I see. Thank you!
I plan to have slot-locking and real-time availability. Haven't worked with real-time in Xano but doesn't look too hard.

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

How many of you have worked on booking systems in Xano @nocodebackend?
I'm working on a project and would love to get your insights.

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend Or what were the pain points?

Were there times when having a more solid foundation would've saved a ton of time?

[Yi Hsiang Chen @HiItsSean]

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend Hey Daniel, I'm working on a booking template I want to provide to agencies. It'll have all the core booking features, auth, notification, and payment.

What were the annoying parts you wish were handled out of the box?
