This saves TONS of time and works better than expected. The framework installs perfectly and the database fields included are simply high-five awesome. The only drawback is it is such a great tool but is web-based and no way to save it locally for a rainy day or if the webpage goes away as they all eventually do.. so for now.. THANK YOU and keep this tool up!!!

I have been using Joomla for 7 years now, played with lots of extensions, CCKs most recently, trying to find a way of developing my own component to do a specific task that no one has developed since it is not a component that would likely to be used anywhere else, except in my work. The problem is I am not a developer, and only an average hacker. I understand the skills needed to develop a component but just don't have the patience or the skills.

However, I have been continually browsing the Joomla extensions library looking in the hope that I could find something that was simple to use but powerful. This tool is a fantastic time save. It may not be perfect but it goes a long to way to creating a simple component in no time at all.

Just what I needed!
I've paired this up with Facile Forms / Breezing Forms. I write to the component database through the form and I can now edit in the back end using the component I generated with this tool.

Thanks for this awesome extension. I was looking for something that would allow me to enter data into database from back end and display in front end. All the framework is here, and all I have to do is add my css to style the display.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I've been using this component for only a day and it has saved me weeks of development time. Alltho it is very usable as it is, I'm looking forward to the full version (1.0).
I'm hoping to see input forms in the site part of the component soon.
