The no-code landscape. What's missing?

    The limitations are often to do with data handling, which explains why there's not much fintech no-code. We used it to build our MVP really quickly at https://www.strabo.app. Any more than a few hundred users and I think it would have struggled, so we switched to a code stack for the full launch.

      What are you missing in data handling? Is it that they focus on the frontend and the backend is underdeveloped?
      We're working on a (headless) low-code platform for APIs. Hence very much interested in your experience!

        That's right - probably the reason that there are so few no-code fintechs. With something like consumer finance, there is a ton of data to sift through provided by the open banking APIs, so it became untenable after a certain amount of users. Also seemed to break a lot more than coded solutions, which is to be expected I guess

      Agree, makes sense in your use case.

    Obviously, blogs are missing, that's what I have been building for the last 2 months.

      Google Docs to blogs is a great niche. There are a lot of Notion to blog products out there

        IMO, Notion feels heavy compared to Google Docs

    I have FINALLY found everything I am looking for with Weweb.io as the front-end and Xano as the back-end. The power of Bubble, without the complexity, with a really great graphical interface to work with. I highly recommend people try it out.

        I promise, you will not be disappointed. There has not been a single thing I've wanted to do that I haven't been able to do on their platform, and they are adding new features seemingly weekly at this point.

          awesome, will do!

    Looks good to me. The only no code tool I ever really worked with is retool.
    IMO ecommerce, forms and productivity don't really fit there, as those areas are no-code areas by tradition. Otherwise you'd also need to cover things like zendesk.

      Retool is great for internal tools

    Oracle Application Express. It’s a free add-on for Oracle Database.
