What no-code tool do you wish you could buy but cannot find?
Please describe what the tool would do for your business and why it would be worth paying for.
(Please also post replies saying “hey this tool exists” if you know of an existing solution!)

A simple ecommerce system that complies with the EU VAT law.
Does this really not exist at the moment? From major vendors such as Stripe or Shopify?
Edit: From Stripe’s documentation, it appears that their automated tax calculations are currently incompatible with Europe’s new SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) regulation.
Shopify is sometimes just too much. And I have to do a lot of small tweaks to comply with the German Commerce Law and add apps like billbee for invoicing.
agreed
Paddle does this.
But it is for SaaS only or am I missing something?
There is a no code tool I'm trying to build around visualisation. Why? Because all amazing visualisation tools involve having to write some logic with
code(which most coders can somewhat easily do, but most users of visualisation tools are no coders) . All decent viz tools involve setting up manyparametersand also normalise the data input beforehand. Most people can do that, but it's a headache and repetitive time consuming task. Most below average viz tool automate it all, but it's usually half broken or just below average basic viz.We can do better and write amazing viz with no code, no param definition nor normalisation. Take raw data and figure things out with the best guesses, deliver the results, let the user pick his flavor (one of them is exactly the viz the user is after)
AFAIK there is no tool like this. I found a couple of them, but they qualify as decent viz only.
If you know how to build this, please reach out to me. I would pay to have someone do it. Or help me do it. Or I will build it all alone, I already have the architecture and designs sorted out.
AFAIK it doesn't exist and there is for sure a market for this.
Microsoft PowerBI and Google Data Studio comes to mind with varying level of smartness to figure out dimensions/values and how to represent them automagically
Yes they fall into the decent category. For anything great you fall into their non sense proprietary syntax

My initial reaction, similar to @v3nom, is that beating Excel or PowerBI or Data Studio is harder than it looks. But you’ve clearly worked with data more than a little. Would love to see an example of what the data transformation (raw input → processed output) would look like for this no-code viz tool.
I would agree PowerBI and Google Data Studio are very powerful already. It's interesting that they had to build new products from the ground up (Excel Diagrams -> PowerBI, Google Sheet Diagrams -> Data Studio).
But see Data Studio for example, while it supports cross filter across multiple graphs, out of the box (although user has to click and click to enable it), the design approach is a fixed size canva which export to PDF.
Here is what happens if I share a simple set of graphs with 3 widgets, and access it from a small phone screen:

You would think, graphs as widgets really should adaptively render in a responsive grid layout on any browser? Oh and I can't export a particular graph to PDF or any rendered format. only the entire report.
Then I look at the filters, there is interactivity out of the box, but to have input filters on I have to do this:
https://i.ibb.co/ZYp5MtG/World-Population-Filter.png
That's why I place those tools into a decent category. It allows creating graphs with no code. it allows, via usually proprietary syntax to define your own customisation.
I'm a bit worried about integration if I was to build something better than this. Data Studio has hundreds of connectors, allowing users to plug 3rd party data source very easily. A connector at least a couple of hours to code.
To your question, I don't have mocks yet of what I envision will be delivered. I guess it's time I create some visuals.
It sounds like you’re looking to improve not only the data wrangling process but also the quality of the widgets. Who would the target user be? Would the user be academic or enterprise or both?
(Feel free to message me directly too!)
Target is both, I imagine small business owners, students/academics.
try https://elliot.store You can build E-commerce business without code. Not sure about the EU VAT law but you could look into it.
For me it would be an integrated platform that let you do video courses, paid email newsletter (like substack) discussion/community features and live-streams, all in one platform. Stripe and PayPal integrations
It doesn't have Paypal or live-streaming, but I use Podia and it covers all those other boxes. They update features regularly, very impressed with them so far (even if I haven't launched yet :P)
Nocode tool to build chatbots for Telegram and Whatsapp. INB4 there's Chatfuel and Manychat but they only allow you to build chatbots for Facebook Messenger (urgh).
Nocode tool to build Chrome extensions.
What type of Chrome extensions would you build?
Anything that can make work more efficient/automated. Some examples of Chrome extensions I have and love using - CSS Scan, Reader Mode, Honey, color picker. Imagine being able to create some of these using nocode!
Thanks for sharing. As someone building Chrome extensions I am very interested what other people are using.
No code approach could work for building extensions for some specific workflow with low variability. With highly specialised extensions it is probably more efficient just to write code.
Yes you're probably right. Those extensions I mentioned are probably quite specialised. Maybe low variability tasks can be related to accessibility (change font, size, contrast), translation (not just language but industry specific technical terms), grammar edits, extracting links, tracking updates, etc
