m-Painter Overhaul Raises the Bar for Low-Code Speed and Customization

January 2024 · Oak Brook, IL

Today, software developer Michaels, Ross & Cole, Ltd. (mrc) announces a complete overhaul to m-Painter, m-Power's visual editor. m-Power is a low-code development platform that businesses use across their organizations to create web applications such as database front-ends, report-writing, workflow, analytics, dashboards, CRM systems, and portals to name a few.

Revolutionizing application customization with m-Painter

This overhaul marks a significant leap forward in simplifying and enhancing the application development process for businesses worldwide. An integral part of m-Power, m-Painter lets users customize their application's layout and design without any knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

With this enhancement, m-Painter's architecture was re-engineered from the ground up. The new architecture not only drastically improves speed and efficiency but also positions it for future upgrades and features. This ensures that m-Painter will continue to evolve, meeting the ever-changing needs of modern businesses.

New user interface and enhanced features

The revamped m-Painter boasts a more intuitive user interface, significantly easing the application development process. It's built to improve usability and provide new capabilities with an array of advanced features, including:

• Conditional rendering: m-Power developers can tailor application behavior based on user interactions, user roles, or data conditions.
• UI component selector: This feature lets developers add sophisticated elements like tabs, cards, stat widgets, and data lists with one click. It helps developers design professional user interfaces in minutes.
• Data lists: With the addition of data lists, m-Power developers can pull data from other applications or data models directly from the m-Painter interface. This lets developers create more complex applications while re-using existing data models and applications.
• Dropdown wizards: With m-Painter's new dropdown wizard, users can easily create data-driven dropdown menus.
• Advanced totals and percentages: This feature lets m-Power developers pull totaled values from other applications or data models directly through the m-Painter interface.
• HTML/CSS styling panel: m-Painter now has a full-featured HTML/CSS styling panel built in. This lets m-Power developers easily customize element styles, or adjust the HTML at the code level if needed.

These are just a few of the new features included with the new m-Painter interface. Together, they will help developers to create more dynamic, responsive, and visually appealing applications with minimal coding.

"With its enhanced speed, user-friendly interface, and a suite of new features, we are setting a new standard in application customization," says Tyler Wassell, mrc's Director of Software Development. "It will help m-Power developers create sophisticated applications with unprecedented ease. We're excited to see the innovative solutions our clients will build with these advanced capabilities."
