Show HN: Example of Oracle APEX App

I used Oracle APEX to make a couple of user administration consoles for in-house Windows apps as an alternative to the service desk staff needing to run the app itself to manage user accounts. It was quite convenient for them to use. That was a few years ago.

I like the idea of being able to make a database centric web app using just a web browser, yet I find it hard to get past the clunkiness of it. I've been thinking about writing the thinnest possible HTTP gateway for other database systems, such as PostgreSQL, and then gradually building something like APEX on top of that. But unlike APEX, it should be easy to create sexy consumer facing web apps, not just corporate bags of forms, tables and charts. If someone released such a product today, they could become very rich very fast.
