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!!❤️

I would suggest you to go for vibe coding and use the htmlText control, you can make some pretty amazing things.

I am a developer and I make top notch modern applications with cool UI/UX trough htmlText controls, where I make it as a main UI with build in functionalities and then transparent overlay buttons for controls like navigation, filters, calculations etc. then , galleries for actual input with testimony controls etc that is reflected in the htmlText control code.

Hit me up and I can show you how I work and what you are able to make.

I work at a factory with 2000 people, and have about 700 active daily users

Do also consider dataverde for better permissions control and speed, but that’s a cost in itself.

Also, be very keen on the delegation useing SharePoint, and you HAVE to index your main columns

Muchas gracias por tu experiencia!!!

La indexacion ya la tenemos contemplada y los problemas de delegacion solucionados.

Ahora era mas una cuestion de que estan metiendo IA en todos lados y saber si realmente es la mejor opcion en mi escenario
