Appkit™ Development Framework

Your App Framework

The Appkit™ Development Framework is a proprietary framework for developing full applications. Initially started in 2014 with the start of our company and our first project the Forge Account system Appkit™ and FreightChick® TMS it has been advancing ever since. It aims to provide a simple and reusable batteries included platform as a starting point for developing custom applications.

  • Take a proven path for developing high quality applications
  • Build it our way and jump start development with a highly opinionated and refined system
  • Skip rebuilding common features and focus on your primary business concern

You can see Appkit™ at work in our projects section. All updates and improvements from every project go into Appkit™ to further enhance it for the group and future endeavors.

Off-the-shelf features

Over the years of building large applications and utilities we have noticed that just about every project has a core business concern(such as checking shipping prices, or picturing slabs). But if you wish to make that application usable by multiple customers and sell it to them you must build many other supporting features and are usually rushed to do so. Our idea is to skip this process by making entire features reusable and installable off the shelf so that you can focus on developing the best solution for your primary business concerns.

All Appkit™ features are installable with the entire front + backend pre-built and fully customizable with minimal configuration required.
Our aim is for all new projects to come standard with the below features installed and functioning within days instead of requiring months/years to custom build them.

  • Accounts - Fully featured and extensible global account system with Oauth support
  • Search - Global field-based application search. Dynamically register application specific types and drill down into all fields with a powerful and easy to use search box.
  • Reports (beta) - Real-time drag n' drop reporting and analytics system. Choose your metric, pick your graph/component, and style it up to allow users to fully customize their reports in an easy to use way.
  • Thirdeye™ Status System - Monitor and publish the status of internal and external services which run your application. Automatically shut down or back off certain features based upon internal service status.
  • News(mini blog) - Publish news articles on user's dashboards to keep them up-to-date on your changes or allow teams to publish their own news
  • Teams & Permissions (Converting to be installable) - Advanced hierarchical team system with role based permissions, email member invites/management, and built-in instant feature toggles.

Support Libraries

The primary focus of Appkit™ is to provide off the shelf features. In doing so we have also developed an advanced set of libraries which are useful for developing these features and more. These are often used to bring everything together and may not be directly seen by the user.

  • Forge
    • Accounts - global account system with resilience built-in and oauth provider support
    • WS - Websocket connection and request/response command system with REST based wrappers for public APIs.
