Multiple projects are coming to the same point it seems. Motherduck has been marketing "dives" since the beginning of the year (https://motherduck.com/blog/duck-dive-and-answer/) and in the Louie.ai team, we have been iterating on different patterns for similar needs. I'm getting the feeling that the answer to SaaS apps as fixed UIs over databases being dead because of coding agents means just the fixed dashboard pattern is dead, not SaaS, and BYO UI is part of the new table stakes.
I'm curious where the pattern will go. My sense is there is a split between cathedrals vs bazaar for approach here, where cathedrals are quite rigid app builders, think framer/wix, while bazaars focus a layer below for more flexibility but less integrated.
Absolutely, plus if you control the coding agent you can enforce certain guarantees and have it wrap your services with a custom sdk. I've been exploring this pattern in a couple of different domains where it's just a vite react app wrapped in an iframe with a JWT bridge giving auth, hosted on a separate domain.
At the enterprise level this feels a lot like Snowflake buying StreamLit to try and have a similar experience, and keep you in the Snowflake ecosystem burning credits.
