What no-code tools you wish existed and will make part of your work easy?

What are the no-code tools that you wish existed and could reduce the amount of work you put in creating or running your online business ?
For example, we have many no-code tools to create a website, but we do not have a no-code tool to convert your website into an ios app. What other useful no-code tools do we lack in the market?

    One tool that I feel like no one has nailed yet, is making a way for people to map out their marketing strategy. I want an easy way to map out my marketing strategies. I want to be able to draw a map of all the ads we have and have those point to the landing pages, then have that point to our email campaign, finally follow up with who schedules a demo, and finally books a sale.

    Right now I'm using Lucid Chart for this, but it's not working all that great because it's just a mapping tool it's not specific to marketing. I've also tried all the new companies popping up trying to fix this problem. Such as funnelytics, MarketPlan.io, and Geru. They are all really hard to use, and don't actually allow you to type in or track conversion rates.

      Have you looked at the CoSchedule Marketing Suite? It's pretty robust and easy to use, but it is pretty expensive.

        So funny enough, Co-Schedule is based in my hometown. So I’m very familiar with them. But that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m not looking for a tool that posts to social media. I’m seeking a light weight visual diagramming tool, that lets me map out my funnels.

          That is an business idea:-)

    I wish there was a nocode solution for relatively large database import and parsing automation, plus simple table display. (basically make it easier for me to import data on voicemarketdata.com )

      @sland Do you mean a scheduled web parser that scrapes HTML and outputs the structured data to your db?

      That's interesting. I'm working on https://kodem.io where we provide one-click microservices. This might be a good use case!

      If you want to get this onto our queue, send a message on our public roadmap here!

        I mean more like Airtable for more data and with less sexy features. I just want to have an easy searchable relational database that can deal with 70k+ rows.

          Check https://cloudbackend.appdrag.com
          It's based on a relational db and can handle volumes in hundreds of millions of rows
          And now we do have some UI similar to airtable (CloudDB on our side) in addition to our cloud database UI

            This is pretty cool! I'll stick with my Wordpress table plugin for now, just because it's much cheaper and easier, but this is the type of thing that I'd probably grow into.

        2. 2

          And Google Sheets doesn't work for this?

          1. 1

            Not really. Though WPDataTables seems like it'll do the trick.

            1. 1

              Oh, I've never heard of that. Cool!

              Out of curiosity, what's better about WPDataTables compared to something like Kodem.io 's "Google Sheets as a Backend"?

              1. 1

                I can't find the Google Sheets as Backend on your site. Your site seems like a service to setup a build automatically. What does it have to do with importing data easily?

              2. 1

                Looking at your site, I don't even know where to start! In fact, I'm not sure I know what a microservice is. Even if I look at your microservices, there aren't examples, so I'm instantly turned off.

        3. 1

          Have you tried any of these BI tools - Tableau, PowerBI etc.?

          1. 1

            Thanks for the suggestion. I took a look at them, but their costs were a bit much for now.
