Poking around, I don't immediately see spelled out the benefit: what is the advantage of building "without a single line of code?"
If the complexity of the app is the same, won't it be just as involved to build with this alternative interface?
- icebraining 10y agoReading their marketing page, seems like they have a visual programming language that lets users build custom workflows using high-level components. Seems useful - there's plenty of demand for websites that are "smarter" than what a CMS with a few plugins allow you to build, yet are not complex enough to require the full power of a turing-complete language. It's a bit like Excel for the web. The Achilles' heel of these platforms tends to be the edges; when user needs a bit more than what it can provide out-of-the-box, can they extend it, and without creating a monster? I mean, we build custom business software based on a modular platform, and the story always goes like, "We need a few POS terminals for a store." ... installs pre-built module ... "And an integrated ecommerce store." ... installs pre-built module ... "And the POS should integrate with an NFC reader to allow purchases with a shop card." ... and then we present a quote for the custom integration.
