AWS Honeycode was recently released as AWS’s offering of a ‘No Code App Builder’. For those familiar with Microsoft Power Apps, Honeycode is very similar. The focus of the service is setting up tools for team collaboration. I did not see an option to share the app external to the tool. For an app to share with friends, take a look at AppSheet. I’ve used that for non-profit activities to distribute holiday gives to hundreds of children. It worked well for that purpose.
I decided to do a demo to create a simple AWS re: Invent 2020 session scheduler. This year’s conference is three weeks long (and free and virtual). To plan for the sessions I don’t want to miss; I need to get organized!
Free, up to a point
The Honeycode interface is still in beta mode. I wasn’t asked for any payment information to set up this demo. You can add up to 20 members or up to 2500 data rows for free. Not bad.
Getting Started
This is **NOT **your AWS account, to make it interesting. I imagine this tool will be integrated into the AWS Console at some point.
Everything starts with your data.
I don’t yet have the conference schedule, so I created some topics of interest.
