I expected that as well from the title but at the very start they link the meaning of the term so that those of us that don’t know what it means can quickly find out on Wikipedia.
I think it’s best to do like they are doing and link the Wikipedia article.
- okket 8y agoIt would also be helpful to use the spelling from Wikipedia: "low-code" vs. "low code" are very different in my mind.
- dyeje 8y agoWhy not just explain it in plain English right on the page? Expecting potential users to read a wiki article just to understand what your product is seems like unnecessary friction.
- blobwalker 8y agoJust read it as "4GL" and pretend it's the mid-80s again. Then it will all make sense.
- mprev 8y agoLow-code is a pretty standard industry term, though. Maybe not for the HN crowd but Gsuite has a low-code tool now and the likes of OutSystems have been doing it for years. I’m more curious as to the name Alan.
- sam0x17 8y agoI understood what they meant by "low-code" before I clicked the article, but I'm just one person.
