Indeed, innovative non-developers have great ideas and this tool empowers them to easily build UIs with my APIApps for a backend.
But with ease of use comes limitations - inevitably many PowerApps will need functionality that the PowerApps designer cannot handle. At this point the app needs to be exported and extended using Visual studio or other dev tools.
With Siena this was somewhat available by cracking the .appx.
Something I would like to see is the ability to publish the app for a local file. My company uses server based but the program that I created needs to be locally installed on everyones computer. When I finally finshed and invited co-workers to the app - they have to login to their Microsoft account. Many co-workers use their personal emails for a MS account and not our employeer email. So when I invite them to try the app, they can't just open the link and get directly to it, they have to create a MS account login and then get to it.
