Xano gives you a scalable server, a flexible database, and a NO CODE API builder that can transform, filter, and integrate with data from anywhere.
Think of this as a no Code backend for your app. Xano provides a way to build a backend with complete database and api with No code. With Wized, your forms can post to Xano/DB endpoint, with error, success, and REGEX pattern capability. Then use wized to build State Management and data Binding and thus make your UI to be responsive
Summary
While Webflow simplifies frontend design, Wized.com enhances the development process by providing no-code automation capabilities. Wized.com allows developers to create complex workflows and automations without writing code, significantly reducing the development time. By combining the power of Webflow, Xano, and Wized.com, teams can accelerate PWA development without compromising on quality or functionality.
You can used wized to build complete applications. With wized we can link everytihing together; Frontend, backend and authentication. Use Webflow for Frontend, Xano for API and Data Modeling, Wized for Access Control, Features and Functional Roles.
