DIY platform Knack now available for building Online databases

Knack is a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that allows you to easily build Online databases & Web applications that make use of the data.

You don’t need to be a developer or programmer to use Knack & create your own database & apps. It’s a Cloud-based DIY process that helps you set up everything based on what you need.

knackYou can set up your own custom database & define the database fields using standard data types such as name, address, email, etc., along with more powerful fields based on formulas, equations, images & other file types.

You can connect fields & data, & import data from your spreadsheets or enter it in manually. You can the change history of all the data, & export it to specific file types including CSV, TXT or JSON.

Once you have created your database & filled it with data, it’s even easier to build a front end app linked to the database. You can drag & drop elements like tables, record details, calendars & search. You can add a form to add & edit records into the database.

Knack comes in handy for creating web applications that you can embed on your website. For instance, you can create an inventory manager or a customer service portal or CRM tool that allows customers to log-in & see only their own records.

This ability to secure data & offer your employees, business partners & customers a login that provides them with access to a limited amount of data they are authorized to see is another one of the really useful features that you get with Knack.

Advanced features include the ability to schedule tasks for updating records & sending emails, adding zip code searches with geolocation, & getting your database indexed by the search engines.

Knack is also offering an open API for developers who want to build their own apps & tools using Knack functionality. For users, Knack is mobile friendly & the app will automatically resize to adjust to the size of your device. It’s also optimized for mobile usage such as uploading images using your smartphone camera.

Their basic pricing for a starter package is US $25/month which offers you 1 GB to store 10,000 records & use three apps. A PRO package with 25 GB & 25,000 records supporting 10 apps will cost you US $49/month, & the corporate package with 5 GB & 100,000 records supporting 25 apps is priced at US $149/month.

The New York, US-based Knack HQ was founded in March 2012 by Brandon Griggs & Eric Katherman after they spent two years developing it with the help of seed funding & incubation services provided by Philadelphia-based startup incubator DreamIt Ventures. Griggs is now the company’s CEO.

Here’s a free service that deletes your tweets

Hey, what if we were to tell you that now there’s a service that allows you to delete most of your tweets from Twitter? Great news, eh?

TweetDelete is useful for people who want to reduce the amount of old data in their Twitter account or those who want to limit the amount of data about themselves they expose Online. It is an automated service & runs on your account every few days. Once you’ve activated TweetDelete, it will check your account periodically for new tweets that have become older than the age you specified and it will delete them for you. You are free to disable TweetDelete at any time.

how to delete tweets

For technical reasons TweetDelete can only work within the latest 3,200 tweets on your account. Tweets older than this are not easily accessible via Twitter’s interface & since TweetDelete cannot find them, those beyond that cannot be deleted. An example: if your account originally had 15,000 tweets & you delete 3,200 of them, you’ll still have 11,800 left. These old tweets don’t show up on Twitter’s Site though, claims TweetDelete, simply because that’s how Twitter works.Once you’ve activated TweetDelete, provided you make less than 3,200 posts per the deletion timeframe you’ve selected, all future posts should be deleted as you’d expect.

Twitter allows apps to request 1 of 3 types of access to your account – read, read+write or read+write+direct messages. Once you have used the free TweetDelete & do not want it anymore, you may revoke all permissions granted to it. Once that’s done, it’s impossible for these guys to delete your tweets.

But remember, all deletion is final. Once you have ordered TweetDelete to do its job, deleted tweets cannot be recovered. TweetDelete doesn’t store copies of your tweets, it only deletes them. There’s no way to get them back once they’ve been deleted.

This new service is part of the UK-based MEMSET network of dedicated servers.
