  My company is using this to build a large CRM for a client. It's great so far! Nicely done. We started using it a few months back so we didn't have all the nice recent additions. I'm looking forward to editing scaffolds and tweaking some of the templates. I will definitely use this again in the future. I wish the canvas view was a little more sophisticated (keyboard/mouse zoom, items being added in the middle of the screen) but otherwise it works

  I used Vemto for a new app recently and it was a pleasure.

  There are other schema designer tools that will output your models as Eloquent code, but none of them handle the inevitable "we added a new model and want to associate it with an existing model". Vemto does support that, and it is setup to work alongside your codebase when the time comes to add new stuff.

  You can use as little or as much of the code and UI generator stuff as you'd like.

  Looks quite a bit like spam to me. Zero-Info generic landing page, and just praise in the first few comments. Accounts from 2014 with 4 karma praising it ...?

  I think agencies are going to love this.

  It’s a desktop app. But for which OS/OSes?

  Looks awesome. Would love to see something like this for Django or Flask.
