Is No-Code Really a Viable Option For You?
How to figure out what you’re building and where to go next
The argument around the viability of no-code centers around the fact that there’s really no such thing as no-code.
I mean there is no-code as we know it, and I’m a true believer. I’m actually building a product around no-code — a viable, real, it-costs-money product.
I’m a believer because the promise of no-code is an entrepreneur’s dream, especially those of us who are also true-believers in minimum viable product, two-sided marketplaces, subscription models, and eService.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 20 years, and I’ve built dozens of viable, even successful products. I can tell you, through the lens of that experience, that no-code is finally a realistic option.
But I’m also a technical entrepreneur. I cut my teeth as the Internet went mainstream, and I sold the last company that I built from the ground up, coding everything myself.
So I can also warn you that if you want to build anything substantial, whether that’s a basic helper app or an entire company around a product built on a no-code platform, you’re going to have to get into coding mode. And the more elegant you want the final result to be, the more of a coder you’re going to…
