We often hear about the apps people have built with Anvil, here and in the Anvil User Group, but we don’t often get to see them. Let’s change that
If you’ve got an app in production, and you’re allowed to disclose its existence, we would love it if you could post a screenshot (or several!) here, plus a sentence or two about what it does.
We’re particularly keen to see screenshots of B2B apps and dashboards - not the kind of thing whose interface is normally exposed to the web, but we know there’s some excellent stuff out there.
We built our own ticketing system to handle emails to sales@anvil.works, contact@anvil.works, support@anvil.works, etc. It enables seamless handoffs between team members across teams and shifts. The primary interface actually lives in our GMail inboxes, so we can mostly reply to incoming enquiries like normal mail, but we can do more advanced operations in the web interface. If I’ve ever asked you not to email me directly but to use an address that isn’t tied to the disaster zone of my inbox, where we can guarantee someone will read it promptly…this is where it’s going
Your turn!
I’m sure you folks have something prettier than that to share!
The answer for almost all of these apps is going to be “no” – they’re real production apps with sensitive data, hooked up to internal systems and business processes. (I expect screenshots will be carefully chosen or censored to avoid disclosing sensitive data.)
The goal of this thread is to see some of the gorgeous apps and UIs that we know are out there – we don’t need you to show us everything, just a peek!
I am happy to share a booking web app that i made some years ago for a optician customer in Sweden.
Customers can book appointments online and gets email and sms reminders for the appointment, simple as that.
The web app uses the anvil uplink which runs locally at the customers site and it integrates nicely to the customers database. By the way, the existing database and internal booking system is an 20y old ASP.NET application with MS Access.
Thanks to Anvil.Works the customer can still use their “old” system, but have modern features.
PS the texts int the site is in Swedish. I used firefox to translate it to English, so please excuse the poor translation.
Not very inspiring to look at unfortunately, but incredibly useful if you’re in the telecoms VAS world
This B2B panel allows telecoms number brokers to manage SMS & voice calls between suppliers and resellers. It counts the beans and provides statistics. It allows you to create incredibly complex rules for routing an inbound message or call to an outbound destination. It directly controls telephony and messaging equipment, and currently handles approx. 8m transactions per day (it has peaked at over 40m/day). Back end is a combination of MySQL clusters and sqlite.
I’ll add some more piccies when I can sanitise the data enough so as to not give away any secrets :
Admin settings screen with cool ‘secret textbox’ component I made that allows you to input and edit secrets in a secure way, only fetching the decrypted secret (like an API key) when clicking a button:
My newest open source app is ‘Notion Task Loader’ which takes a meeting transcript and generates a TODO list, ready to send to Notion through their API. I put some more effort in styling and I used the new routing library!
I must say that I’m kind of afraid to look into this thread and be ashamed of my designs…
This is basically my first “professional” app, originally using the old Material Design that I manually updated to the (now also old) Material Design 3:
It’s an app I made for me and a group of friends to register, schedule, watch and review movies and franchises. It’s almost completelly in portuguese, so most of you won’t be able to understand, I’m afraid. The front page is a dashboard showing the next sessions, the top and bottom of the rank and a confirmation for the logged user for the next session.
This is another one that I’m currently still in early stages. It’s aimed for groups of people (mainly couples) that like to visit restaurants and events, experience and later review that experience. All of the criteria are custom created by each group.
I offer accounting solutions for automotive dealerships.
Here’s a work-in-progress of one of the services. It’s still in early alpha, but thought some may like the structure I decided to go with.
Here is an app that is part of a service for building a habit for physical activity. It is a commercial service with active users, but will be relaunched under another name and with more features. You register every day, and your accountability partner knows it when you drop off and kicks you in the butt.
And yes, that is my personal score. I’ve done pretty well this year with great results!
