WEBIX BLOG

We always feel happy when we learn how our UI library helps our customers translate their ideas into reality. Are you a Webix user? We would be glad to hear your story. Feel free to contact us with your showcases.

The opener of our new article series is an interview with one of the Webix users, a programmer Valeriy Kuznetsov. He develops digital solutions for both leading agricultural companies and small enterprises.

Webix allowed Valeriy to create an effective cloud tool for software development within a short time. The system is called WizXpert. This solution combines back-end, front-end, and hybrid mobile app development. The system’s interface is Webix-based.

The initial task

My objective was to design and implement a simple application allowing me to manage my freelance business. The application is called iFact and is available on github. The basic activity consists in getting contracts with clients, performing the work or service and invoicing the client. Also, I needed to manage the invoice flow and to have a minimal dashboard for cash flow control. The volume of invoices is low: from one to a couple of invoices per month. The number of clients and contracts per client is low, it means 5 to 10 clients with 1-3 contracts per client, normally one single contract active at any given moment in time.

Hi guys!

Today, in the middle of June, we would like to share with you a fresh and still hot showcase directly from sunny Argentina. It was kindly provided by Diego Ferruchelli.

“Curvas (Spanish for “curves”) is a tool for data analysis and business modeling intended to be used in such spheres as agricultural insurance and risk management. It was prepared as a part of my independent consulting services for a local company which was developing a new product in this field.

I was using Webix for another application, and I felt it was the natural way to go with this one, in which good user interaction and charting are key features.

Hey everyone!

We continue to publish real showcases of customer applications made with Webix. Today we’d like to share a new article from SFM BV about their product called XLReporting.

“We are a team of finance, accounting, and IT experts in the Netherlands. We specialize in information management, and provide solutions and services to our corporate clients for financial management, consolidation, budgeting, and reporting. Our clients vary in size from SME’s to large corporates across the world.

Years ago we launched a very successful product called XLReporting at request of our clients, which has seen many versions and improvements ever since, and which enjoys a large installed user base. For years, the product has been a client-server solution with an Excel add-in and workbooks communicating to a back-end SQL Server instance, and it is still widely used and actively soldpurchased today.

Hey everyone!

We continue publishing real showcases from our customers, which were made on Webix. Today we’d like to share an article about the RightNote, personal information manager program for Windows, provided by Rael Bauer.

“RightNote is an advanced personal information manager program for Windows. It allows you to store all bits and pieces of information in a single place and then you can access that information later. For example you can capture webpages, store source code snippets, JavaScript Spreadsheet, project notes etc.. all in a single place. More information can be found here: //www.bauerapps.com/rightnote/

We wanted to provide our users with a way to publish their knowledge bases to the web or to mobile devices, so that they could then access or present their information on these platforms.

This meant exporting the RightNote databases to a html/javascript format. We wanted to make sure that the output looked good and was also easy to use and navigate, hopefully providing some functionality similar to the desktop app. We also wanted the javascript to work straight from the file system, i.e. without requiring a server. (Many javascript libraries work fine on a server, but come to halt on filesystems).

Hey guys!

New week, new showcase from our customers. Today we are presenting a short, but colourful article from Michael Basin. The project, which was made on Webix, is called Blitz-Budget. So let’s start.

“I use JavaScript Pivot for mobile applications for financial accounting as a tool for generating reports. And I do it in an unusual way.

A smartphone is used as a web-server and Pivot is run on a PC as a client. Thus, users get a possibility to make reports on a desktop directly using data from the smartphone.

Blitz-Budget for Android – is the program for accounting and control of personal finance.

Bonjour everyone!

Another week, another cool showcase from our customers. Today we are glad to present an article from Bruno Denis from french company BNDC. The project, which was made on Webix, is called MyMetriks. So here you go.

“MyMetriks is a simple and intuitive dashboarding platform. Build 100% HTML5 and nodejs, it gives to all users possibilities to create/customise the dashboards they really need. It is cheap, based on all latest technologies and really fast thanks to in-memory data cube management.

Dashboard Design

All operations are done via simple click or drag and drop, even dashboards creation. All the solutions are based on Webix framework. We have developped our own Nodejs ajax JSON adapter based on Webix proxy. The platform is fairly simple: nodejs, mysql, Webix and a specific columnar database for Business Intelligence performances.

Good day everybody!

Today we begin to publish new articles that describe the real use cases which were made with Webix by our customers. And the first article was presented by our customers Lars Kjebekk and Yuriy Klyuch from the Glasslink company.

“My name is Lars Kjebekk and I run the company called Glasslink. We specialize in glass and facade consultancy and also do some custom IT solutions. I have worked a lot with automating processes to improve efficiency and also provide the end users with better service.

Glasslink was contacted by Polyteknikk as they wanted to bring their service to the web. Polyteknikk is a manufacturer of professional tag signs for offshore, building and other fields that require technical marking.

The final result is //myglasslink.no/webix25/polyteknikk2/index.html

The idea was to create a web portal where customers could login and design their signs online.

After a lot of sketching and brainstorming, we ended up with a 4 step wizard to design the signs. We have also implemented dynamic image view that shows the changes in colors, fonts, shapes, etc. in real time.

Design Wizard View

Hi, everyone!

They say that Monday is a tough day. We say that Monday is a right time for new beginning. That is why today we decided to start our new project, in which everyone, who deals with Webix, can participate.

I think, you will agree that before you buy a product or a service, it would be cool to read the reviews of people who have already used it. And if we are talking about building applications, it would be nice to see real cases that have already been created. That is why every week in our blog we will publish an article that describes a real use case which was made with Webix by our customers.

Everyone, who has a product or an application made with Webix library! If your project is not internal, confidential or private, and you want to share it publicly and highlight your company in our blog – my email is open for your cool articles.

What we expect to get: a full description of your product, for what purpose and for whom it was developed, 3-5 screenshots, as well as the information about your company (link to the website or your blog, your company’s name and the name of the product), and any additional information you want to share.

By the end of this year we will publish all the articles. Then we will choose the most interesting application or solution based on Webix JavaScript UI library and announce the winner.

Hurry up, maybe exactly your app is the most interesting one!
