For people who are new to no-code and have ambitions to become a maker, start focusing on curation projects first π―
It may sound silly, but trust me, it works like a charm, and that is exactly how I started my maker journey as well!
Here's how you can do it:
1/ Pick a problem you have: We all are overloaded with information, and it is hard to keep up. There will be some problems relating to that. Pick that and start there. For me, I couldn't find tools when I started as a maker, so I built one for myself: Tools for Makers
2/ Collect: Spend a solid week or two on researching/gathering information. Use google, Twitter, and the whole wide Internet. You will be surprised to see how much there is! The only caution is don't go into a rabbit hole. Remember, your goal is to ship and put it out there.
3/ Curate: Convert these lists into bite-sized info. Use Airtable or Google Sheets to store them. Make sure you curate in a way that is digestible for yourself and for others.
4/ Ship: Pick a tool like Pory.io or Softr.io or Webflow and just ship it! These tools are intuitive, easy to use, and don't need a learning curve at all.
5/ Launch: The ultimate goal is to put it out and there is no better place than
Product Hunt and Indie Hackers to do that. Launch it on both platforms, ask for feedback, spend time listening to your users, and iterate.
Lastly, do all the above while having fun and make sure you provide value to others β
Boom! You are a maker and now repeat the formula π₯ If you find this thread valuable share it with others. Thanks for reading π
Great timing! I've been working on Alt Asset Stack. It's a simple directory of online marketplaces for alternative assets (sneakers, collectables, wine, records, etc.).
As housing and stocks get inflated to the moon, alternative assets present an interesting investment option for younger generations.
I am currently building a platform that enables everyone to maintain a directory of the best resources in their niche.

Would love to know what you think and if it fits your thoughts.
Thanks Sharath for sharing this! Very thoughtful approach on using No-Code, and I really like the part
" do all the above while having fun and make sure you provide value to others"
Reminds us that we should really enjoy the process and add value to the community!
Cheers and wishing you great success! π π
Super helpful tips, using them as a guide for my curation project!
Very nice quick-start guide!
Big fan of nocode and have been running content curation projects for some time. Currently working on Virtual Mojito and VenturesList, keen to hear your thoughts ;)
