After a short but steep learning curve you become very productive, very quickly. For most common business applications Knack will have a template that can be used to start you off, and even if you start from scratch you're able to create a data model very quickly and then have Knack build your basic pages. It's easy to understand and simple to use. The UI customisation is not perfect yet, but if you have a basic understanding of CSS you can create beautiful user interfaces easily enough. The ability to build in business logic attached to fields, views or forms is very useful and intuitive.

I’ve been using Knack for several years, across multiple apps and organizations. When I recently opened a new app and saw the new builder interface, I wasn’t thrilled. I had solid workflows in the old UI and was used to moving fast. But the new UI is a clear step forward. It’s fast, intuitive, and well-organized. I was up and running quickly, and before long I preferred it. The improvements weren’t just cosmetic — they make building smoother and more efficient. I think they really 'knocked it out of the park.' I had early concerns about JavaScript support in the new builder, but the team was responsive and quickly put those concerns to rest. One of the strongest parts of Knack is its balance. It's easy enough to get things working fast, but with plenty of depth and customization when you need it.

The first differentiator with Knack was having the benefit of an Onboarding Expert who walks you through what to expect, what can be achieved and how to get started! Second, the availability of template apps that load in only minutes is phenomenal! That's a great way to get a solid lay of the land. Third, the platform itself is very intuitive. After planning a basic design on paper, you're able to build an app literally within a day!
