Are most No-Coders non developers?
I’m curious to learn how many No-Coders are actual web developers or not?
I’m a designer (UX/UI) and I see why no-code is interesting from my point of view, but from a developer point, what is your opinion of using no-code for MORE than prototypes? Would you build a full SaaS product with no-code?
I recently posted a co-founder search for a No-Code Developer.
I’m interested in hearing your opinions
the good, the bad, and the ugly...No-Code approach.
I'm an ex full-stack web dev (MS platform). I wasn't happy with my first pass at no-coding a SaaS - the duct-tape and bailing-wire compromises made what I was trying to assemble difficult, frustrating, and ugly.
I went back and down-scaled my MVP package to use (mostly) no-code while I continue building out a more robust low-code solution. I chose low-code over hand-rolled because I just don't have time to mess around in the weeds right now.
So would I build a full SaaS with no-code? Depends on the product being built. My reflex is that fine-tuning functionality takes some degree of control, and (in my experience) no single no-code solution does it all. I found it then becomes a question of how well you can get the identified no-code platforms to play with each other, in the way you need them to.
No-code compromises under-the-hood flexibility. It takes less up-front project time, but the price might be jettisoning some functional requirements. For me, low-code is being an overall more workable speed & flexibility compromise.
But that doesn't mean I don't keep looking for no-code I can leverage. It's a fast-moving playing field.
Thanks for the feedback LogicPriest! I see what you mean about No-Code all depends on the app's requirements. So, I should expect a low-code approach. Again, depending on the app I'm building. I appreciate your time.
