[dba-Tech] Looking for a web based app that does these things

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Shamil

So it is totally a corporate thing. Oh well.

No, I didn't realise such app is "just a bunch" of json files. Interesting.

Hi Gustav --

I was wrong with my supposition. It looks like public access to PowerApps isn't planned at all and is contradicting the main purpose/audience of PowerApps. Here is the video:  http://tinyurl.com/z9lyp2p   ('Why Power Apps? with Bill Staples").

BTW, have you tried to investigate what a PowerApp file is? - it' a zip file with a set of PowerApp meta-files:

Entities.json
Header.json
MacroTable.json
Properties.json
PublishInfo.json
Themes.json
