Application Development Ideas
Not sure about what you can build with Five? Here are some ideas for your hackathon submission:
1. Business Applications
Create the best business application with Five, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems, content management systems (CMS), inventory management systems, event planning apps, or human resource management systems.
2. CRUD Applications. And Beyond.
Build a CRUD application and make use of Five’s granular permissions, privileges, and access rights. Define who gets access to what data and create your own CRUD frontend on a MySQL database. Add in-app or email notifications to make your app more interactive.
3. Data & Dashboards
Visualize your data by creating charts and dashboards inside of Five. For example, build an order tracking app and visualize monthly orders or total sales using Five’s pre-built charts. Put charts and reports into dashboards by defining a custom grid.
4. Surprise Us!
Inside of Five, you can write JavaScript or TypeScript functions and attach them to events. Surprise us with your coding skills to build something truly out-of-the-box!
