Cube2py is a wiki-like IDE that allows building web apps using wiki syntax without coding. It runs anywhere, including Google App Engine (GAE). Apps are collections of pages with permissions and menus. Pages can contain text, links, forms, widgets, and executable code. Special pages like headers and footers are also supported. It can be added as a plugin to any web2py application and only requires web2py to run.
