First 30 Minutes

A time-boxed path from zero to a working prototype.

SchemaFX is tailored to build simple working applications with control in mind.

Outcome

In 30 minutes you’ll have:

• One working source.

• One list page.

• One form page.

• Sample data that proves the flow.

The 30-minute plan

1

Minute 0–3: pick one job

Write one sentence.

Example:

• “Track tasks for a small team.”

Skip edge cases.

2

Minute 3–6: choose the main source

Pick the thing you create the most.

Examples:

• Tasks

• Customers

• Orders

Make it plural.

3

Minute 6–12: add minimum fields

Add 4–8 fields.

Prefer simple types.

Common first-pass fields:

• Title

• Status

• Notes

• Due date

• Owner

4

Minute 12-15: make it to a source

Create a compatible source table (Google Sheets, ProstgreSQL)

Add it the base table structure defined through steps 2-3

5

Minute 15–18: add sample rows

Add 5–10 realistic rows. Use messy, real data.

It exposes missing fields fast.

6

Minute 18-20:

Create an application with your source.

7

Minute 20–25: build two pages

Create:

• A table page for browsing.

• A form page for create/edit.

Enable actions:

• Create

• Edit

• Delete (if safe)

8

Minute 25–28: run the loop

Open Runtime preview.

Run the primary flow end-to-end:

• Create

• Confirm it appears

• Edit

• Delete

Fix one issue.

Then re-test.

9

Minute 28–30: stop and write the backlog

Write the next 5 improvements.

Examples:

• Add a second source.

• Add a relationship.

• Add required fields.

• Split the form.

Don’t keep building past the time-box.
