The problem🕵🏻‍♂️

Recreating wheels (and apps) wastes time, money, and energy:

At times where developers were the best-paid employees of any-sized company, startup, or big conglomerate, they were rare and very expensive. But, anyway, everybody needed one killer ass kick back-end developer to launch an app, sell products online, launch a startup, or even connect your robot to an AI. Almost as sudden as UX/UI, the no-code attitude became a thing! Coders would code a web app enabling anybody to design an app, website, startup, or anything really overnight. Not a single line of code or any specific skill to launch her/his idea. Just a few integrations and an incredible sense of management 🔦. I guess, a real entrepreneur’s skill.

The solution it provides💡

No-Code tools help you solve well-understood problems. Blogs, online stores, games, marketplaces, mobile apps, and more can be built without writing code.

Some key figures 📊

• The global low-code development platform market is predicted to generate a revenue of $187.0 billion by 2030, rising from $10.3 billion in 2019, and is expected to advance at a fast pace, 31.1% CAGR, during the forecast period (2020-2030).
• 42% mention growth (Google News)
• 25% #keyword growth (Twitter, Reddit, Instagram,…)
• 2335 alternatives to building an app with code (Product Hunt)
• Staying home and doing nothing boosted productivity by 18%.

The top actors 🔝

• 💯 Airtable is quite something in the no-code scene. It became THE reference of the trend, almost giving hope to some others (Fibery, Google tables, Notion…)
• 🕸 Designing a website is not just HTML and Javascript. It’s also an incredible UX experience. Webflow is obviously the monopole in this industry followed by his many rivalries: Too heavy to be WordPress, too amateur to be Wix, too commerce to be Shopify, too low key for a Squarespace.
• Selling products online takes incredible design and marketing skills. Well, Sharetribe, Kreezalid. For that less computer savvy, there are Instagram, Facebook, or eBay platforms that let you sell products with ZERO code skill.
• ✍️ Say website, say blogs. Blogging about everything and anything became freedom on the internet. Medium and Substack is here to help you achieve the best content out there (don’t forget, Evernote disappeared 📢) So many customizable ways of beating suppression and your love of writing amazing stuff to the best readers. #freedomofspeech to that!
• 🎨 Editing tools are many to combat. The best, in my opinion, is the unbeatable Figma with its millions of ways of beating Adobe. Canvas is here too but doesn’t get me wrong, not as powerful! The new arrival is **Makerpad.**
• 📱 Designing an app is not as complicated as it seems. Obviously, you won’t be able to design the next Uber app with no-code but still, amazing results get out of Bubble, **Glide, Ottho, Adalo, and Tabbli.**
