You pay for only the features and integrations you need
F.A.Q.
What exactly am I getting?
You're getting source code for a fully functional, full-stack application, both front-end and back-end, complete with thorough documentation, tests, guides, and tutorials. It's all industry standard tools, polished and with no vendor lock-in. The app is yours to do whatever you want with it.
As soon as you've selected and submitted every option you want for your Molecule, you'll be given a command to run which will clone the relevant git repositories to your machine.
Free and subscribed users will use our public repositories on GitHub, while users with a premium license will use our private repositories. The code is mostly the same, with the exception that free users rely on the Molecule.dev API for things like emails and in-app purchase receipt verification, while users with a premium license will not rely on the Molecule.dev API for anything.
What if I already have an app?
Every Molecule is extremely modular, so you can quickly pull what you need from your Molecule into your existing app.
It's usually just a matter of copying a few modules (files) and passing data from your existing app into the relevant functions and components.
What about updates?
Molecules are fairly stable, but any updates will be visible to you as git commits and/or pull requests, possibly with accompanying discussion.
We'll notify you of any critical updates.
What about licensing?
All of the public code available on GitHub is Apache 2.0 licensed.
The code on our private servers, available to users who have purchased a premium license, uses a modified Apache 2.0 license which excludes source redistribution. In other words, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you keep the source code private.
I want something that is currently not an option. Will you add it for me?
Probably! Just let us know, and there's a good chance we'll add the option if it makes sense.
You can request anything - different programming languages, different databases, containerization, load balancers, websockets, caching, CI/CD integration, etc.
We have a lot planned for the future, which we prioritize based on your feedback.
Can I swap or add more options to my Molecule later on, after it's already been built?
Yes! It is recommended that you start with every option you think you'll need, but if for example you'd rather start with a light infrastructure and upgrade later, you can do that. Swaps and upgrades are usually just a matter of running a couple of basic git commands.
Will you help me with my app?
Of course! We're happy to explain inner workings, design decisions and philosophies, and how we might approach whatever it is you're building.
We love feedback, as it helps improve documentation, code, and tutorials.
If you need someone to build your app or train your team, we can do that too.
How is this different from other solutions?
Other solutions do either too much or too little.
With too much, the bloat weighs down your app, slows down development, increases your costs, and can be overwhelming to sift through.
With too little, you expend a lot of energy, time, and money building out basic core functionality which can lead to decision fatigue, burnout, and failure.
You can find templates and starter kits for fairly cheap, but they are generally not a full-stack, complete solution and will not scale without significantly more work.
With Molecule.dev, you get exactly what you need for building the features that make you stand out from the rest, without being locked into any particular ecosystem or paradigm. It's designed to scale to any number of users, and it's all yours, made specifically for you.
Think of it as hiring some of the best of the best to build the most solid foundation possible for your application, relatively future-proof and customized for your individual needs.
