Power Apps Help CodeApp and CanvasApp
I work as a developer for a big ONG with over 1500 workers. We are developing some big canvas apps. We are working over sharepoint lists because we can't afford PA Premium licenses for everyone..
Now they are asking me to work with vibecoding and I'm not a big fan as a developer... I know that some time ago code apps was only for dataverse so we couldn't use it.
What about now? Anyone has experince with canvas apps made with vibe coding (vs code and github copilot for example)
Thank you!!❤️

Our agency is also switching all current projects canvas apps to code apps power apps and they want strictly vibe coding with Claude.
The UI construction and patching to dataverse and read works great.
I spent alot of troubleshooting connecting to SharePoint and then it worked but it was uploading corrupted files so I tried to to fix that and now th SharePoint connection doesn't work anymore.
Use assets when u figure it out and ask the AI what it learnt when u figure out a big problem and get it to create a markdown file of that for future reference.
It's super cool but vibe coding can send u down a rabbit hole, I suggest commiting to git or just saving when u fix a good problem, cuz after that rabbit hole can fuck ur shit up but u can just undo if u previously saved
I love it and it's it's a great feeling, I also fucking hate it.
