I think another advantage of no code, specially for non coders is that to make a really good product you need to understand the problem you are trying to solve very well. Non coders who are experienced in other domains can use this understanding to find gaps in the market and utilize these tools to create solutions with a good market fit.
If you have spent your career programming then its less likely you have been exposed first hand to enough problems outside of the context of software engineering. A pilot who understands a gap in the market for pilot related software is going to be in a much better position to understand the needs of a pilot and therefore software that targets pilots. But how many software engineers are also pilots?
As a software engineer, I find this to be my biggest gap, in that I have not experienced enough problems outside of my domain well enough to see a software based solution. It also explains why there are millions of open source projects out there making no money solving very niche software problems. We have an oversupply of software skills tending to the needs of people with software-based problems, but those same people are blind to the problems experienced by non software people, and therefore miss business opportunities or create products with poor market fit.
Want to find a problem together to work on? I’m in product and strategy.
Great point and i agree 100% it helps the non technical guys who have ideas and see struggels in a business, now they have an opporunity
@jameswilkinson8940 Hey my name is Rico I’m from the uk I have a background in logistics and sales and have been fortunate to work on projects that involve supply chain management and importation . It struck me that our combined expertise could lead to some exciting opportunities. I’m genuinely interested in exploring the possibility of collaborating on a possible project related to logistics or any other area where our skills might align.
@@andrewsong9470 Hey there! My name is Rico I’m all in for finding a cool project to work on together. 😄 Your focus on product and strategy, combined with my background in logistics and sales and abit of project management sounds like a winning combo! Have you got an email or some way I can contact you
TOTALLY! we are good at finding problems and solutions ideas. Horribly at coding jaja
Hey, interesting video! I'm building a full SAAS on bubble, we offer an analytics software to real estate agencies to help them make better business decisions. It's coming together real good and the revenue model is solely a monthly subscription based on the number of users within an account. In just a couple months I learnt how to build and now we are a month away from launching. Looks very promising and the app is coming out both visually pleasing and also logic and functionality is working like a charm. We got several customers waiting so we'll see how it goes in the next months, fingers crossed :D
Hey, I would love to hear more about this endeavour. Would you love to exchange contacts?
@@andrelgpinheiro Hey there, sure you can find my email in the about of this youtube channel, hit me up :)
Interested to see how this goes, gluck! 🤝🏼
Hey how did you get signups? as in where did you put the project out to get the first few signups?
@@swasthikrao2925 Hey there. The first MVP i did, was with Google Sheets and Google Looker Studio and i did it for a real estate owner who asked me to help him grow his business and i came up with this analytics software idea. Then kept improving it and found the next customers mainly through personal connections, this first customer's connections and by going out and talking with around 50 possible customers. After improving more the product i realized that it was not scalable at all so decided to make an app and luckily found bubble. In general the advice I'd give to find first customers is to search within ur network and friends of friends. And also just cold calling target customers and ask them if you can ask some questions (following the Mom Test book advices). Good luck!
Thanks for sharing the SWAS acronym! Most no-code apps I've seen resemble software with a service. The real super power I think is low code, combining developer knowledge with these tools
for sure !! that’s what im doing with webflow, wized and when i need it i right code
I am a fulltime bubble developer and have been a software developer too, truely believe that this tools are amazing too get going with prototypes & product market fit for any kind of app, and good product for upto 1000-10000 users in most of the cases.
Thank you!
My idea is that makers will eventually split to 80% who build no-code solutions and 20% of hardcore guys who go deep and build specialized tools for others to use (via APIs). Pretty much like we consider devs who write linux drivers hardcore now (from regular React/PHP developer point of view). I have recently published ScrapeNinja scraping API integration module for Make (Integromat) and I hope to get into 20% hardcore train, lol
Nice ! Where can i find this api ?

No-code tools are redefining what's possible in development. SmythOS enables users to create complex AI workflows effortlessly, bringing AI innovation to all. Simply brilliant.
The idea of a no-code platform that generates code you can extend later sounds great to me
it’s exist already it’s call webflow
FlutterFlow does it
These have existed for literally decades. Usually the auto-generated code is verbose and confusing (like writing HTML in Microsoft Word).
I was able to
Build my Ai software using no-code. One of the best thing that has ever happened to me
did you build it yourself? how long did it take excl. the ai software
@@keepitraw1 yea built it myself, all on bubble, got my first paying customer in about 3 weeks and took 2 weeks to get something working, I am about 5 months into the project now. Still solo dev.
@@MarketingWithJeffCaldwell thats really great. do you work on it full time? how many customers did you need on average to do this after costs?
i have my own project and soon i plan to outsource the website building to upwork.
@@keepitraw1 yea I work on it pretty much full time, I been building websites for about 5 years now, so getting into no-code has been the missing piece for me to create awesome software instead of just awesome sales funnels haha
@@MarketingWithJeffCaldwell This is really cool! May I ask, how did you find customers?
Great vid, explore this more please. As now can say only that zapier is so so but customer service is great
To implement hight end no code, you need knowledge of REST API, data API call, JSON and Oauth stuffs which are complex, without having basic coding knowledge you can't become nocode expert
do you think it is worth it outsourcing the mvp build?
@@keepitraw1 it depends on complexity.
@@keepitraw1 It depends but in general, no, it's better to get a tech founder or learn it yourself.
@@keepitraw1 Get a technical co-founder.
Having someone with skin in the game is more beneficial
@@gidd i wont share equity. my mvp is pretty simple. all i need is a program (which is developed by someone in sri lanka) and a simple website where people can use the program. those people on upwork also have an incentive to make a good website as they are getting reviews and of course money.
For VR you can use Unity or Unreal with NO CODE like Playmaker(Unity) or the native Blueprints(Unreal)
I wanted to try no code, but ur words led me to start coding.
Using no code isn't only for non devs
I'm a programmer but use no code to build mvps & wireframes
@@gidd Nice one- so using it to test / validate ideas through the MVP ?
Yup you can build MVPs very easily with tools like bubble
Have you ever reviewed Wappler?
The biggest difference between No Code and Coded solutions is that you can change things in your NoCode solution at any time. You don't need to employ a coder to apply the lessons you have learnt - you can do it yourself. People should definitely be using NoCode, just make sure you can --- 1. remember what / how you built the first solution (watch out for "form" platforms!) and 2. easily change your solution (watch out for "template" platforms!).
The No code tool is a SaaS app you can't build on No code. Btw I am building something which is something similar to no code tools and I am literally writing complex TypeScript with complex CS concepts. 😅
Guys, does not matter how hard or simple to build a solution, unless you know how to sell it. Sales first! Only then you go and play in all of these sandboxes
I wonder what Rob thinks of mobile games being built on w /no code.
what about a CRM ?
Better legal actually left code for no code. They switched from a nextjs react setup to bubble. Not what I would of done but they’re excited about it
It was 100% the right thing to do for us. We're getting so much more done with our limited team than we ever would have done custom.
All the while, i've been waiting 6-months+ for a custom code partner to build a form they promised summer of 2022.
No-code is convenient-ish, but it's always better to know the basics in the very least. My forms are free to access, and they are all written in basic HTML. Not a fan of complicating things!
Plus html with some CSS is kina fun to build with.
@@Seekingtruth-mx3ur True, especially if you throw in a timer or two!lol! Never forget Javascript... :)
What about No Code Software versus Go Highlevel?
Absolutely true (5:01), they can disrupt whatever you build. Great point, oracle just started charging for 'java', after years of it being free. That's why I dumped java.
is it possible to build a small auction app for mobile with no code? if so which one. thanks
Great future for no code!
webflow is the best than the rest
Would TinySeed ever invest in a NoCode company?
We answered a similar question in our recent TinySeed Q&A. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/users/liveYaYXtDiHoGs?si=RLc9NU2fQSkZBWut&t=1233
Nice thumbnail!
The rise of Citizen developers are real. For people who are not technically programmers, but business role than the technicians, which reminds me the Excel macro, that it can get very fancy if you know how to use the tools. it would be cool if a hard-core programmers can leverage something like a bubble to add additional pieces components that are not within the developers domain knnolwdge so it doesn’t have to learn from scratch for something he doesn’t know, not even full stack developer can know everything
Python and Javascript is 2 languages for people who have never programmes. Its great and fast to build apps in, and is free.
can't understand tocomplicated
Do you know an about no code platforms how it possible to self hosted open source on own servers? How I only need to pay for servers & how is free!
I don’t know of anything that fits your description.
You want a free rent in a free house on a free land😅 buy vps and host own baserow. Check it out
Pros:
Low barrier to entry: No-code SaaS platforms make it possible for anyone to build a SaaS product, regardless of their coding skills.
Faster development: No-code platforms can help you to develop SaaS products faster than traditional coding.
Lower costs: No-code platforms can help you to reduce the cost of developing SaaS products.
Cons:
Limited functionality: No-code platforms may not be able to support all of the functionality that you need for your SaaS product.
Limited scalability: No-code platforms may not be able to scale your SaaS product as it grows.
Technical debt: No-code platforms can lead to technical debt, which can make it difficult to maintain and update your SaaS product.
Overall, no-code SaaS is a viable option for building SaaS products, but it is important to be aware of the limitations before you start building. If you are looking for a way to build a SaaS product quickly and easily, no-code SaaS may be a good option for you. However, if you need a complex or feature-rich SaaS product, you may need to use traditional coding.

👌🏼
I feel like half of the cons dont exist when using Bubble.
Don't build on the sand, build on the rock. The Bible
stand by your bald head
Oh it's real!! I'm soon launching something that'll knock your socks off! =D Will soon share
