Easier options for offline / cloud database saving and synchronizing

Hi,

I'm a "new" developer and haven't been using Appery long but wanted to make a suggestion.

Appery has made using a database with collections easy, but it seems to me that creating an app that can save data offline and easily synch to the cloud database is not simple/easy and involves too much code. I wish it was completely drag drop. I would think it would be easier for people to have the IDE integrate more with this in a "drag and drop" manner so that an app that uses the local database as well as the cloud one is faster and easier. I get the sense from tutorials like this, that I have to deal with a bit of javascript code: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

I wondered if creating something easier in this regard or integrating the IDE with something like Firebase through a plug-in, might make this easier. I would think many app developers would want to allow their apps to save data locally then synchronize when connected online, and this doesn't seem as fast as it should be.

Sorry if I'm ignorant of something here. Consider these initial impressions of a new coder/appery user...

Thanks,

Gabriel
