Datably is based on RapidWeaver and requires the Stacks plugin to work. Other than that, Datably is a set of stacks which makes it super easy to set up CRUD based web sites.
The actual process of creating, designing and customising your CRUD interface is entirely based on drag & drop principles, no coding is necessary, no knowledge of SQL, HTML or CSS is required.
