How do you know if a no-code solution is right for you?

No-code is a pretty broad term for point-and-click solutions that let someone with no coding background do things that require code to do.

I’ve been coding for over 20 years, so I can assure you that no-code is not new. But saying no-code is hot right now is a massive understatement, akin to declaring Bitcoin hot in 2016 or mobile apps hot in 2010.

We’re past the shark-jumping moment for no-code — whether the movement goes the way of Bitcoin (trend) or mobile apps (here to stay). Said shark was not jumped, because the no-code use case has evolved from integrating software functions to allowing the creation of entire software applications.

However, in this post, I don’t want to restrict discussing no-code to just building and deploying apps. I want to talk about creating an entire company and product without writing much, or even any, code.

Then you can decide if that works for you, your idea, your product, and your startup plans.
