I have recently looked at 2 nocode solutions: * https://www.glideapps.com/ https://www.glideapps.com/ * https://honeycodecommunity.aws/ https://honeycodecommunity.aws/ I was particularly impressed with glideapps as it allows you to build most of your app with excel sheets (google sheets actually). I think the thing that surprised me the most was that I previously though (clojurescript) coding was the best solution for any app more complicated than a recipe book. However glide caused me to realize that there is a solid (though very broad) set of apps that are best built with these nocode solutions. I thought it was a bit of a marketing stretch to call honeycode a "nocode" solution. When you are pasting things like `FINDROW(Leads, "Leads[Region] = ""West""")[Email]` in your application I think you are coding. It does however have a pretty advanced relation model and also lets you build your (a bit ugly, lets be honest) UI with a nice WYSIWYG editor. Anyway, nothing profound to say about it. But these nocode solutions are powerful in ways that aren't directly addressed by software engineering. 1) When doing nocode, your mental framework shifts from "How can this be done?" to "Is it ok to do without this thing?" As a software engineer you are used to modifying anything. You think of solutions. When you are nocoding though you are a user of a service and therefore are limited to what the service provides. You ask "can I do without?" Rather than "How can this be done?" It is a change of perception. 2) No coding opens up a world of application development to a solid majority of the population. Like the printing press, the quality will go down on average but the volume will make up for it. :) 3) No coding maybe has problems when analytics, scaling, aggregation, etc. come into play. 4) In my experience when I have walked up to nocoding solutions as a software engineer, they are just messes in terms of untangling. I don't know if nocoding solutions have great migration stories. With that said, I think most businesses may not need to upgrade to code from their nocode solution as they will never scale to those needs. Anywho, those are some random thoughts. I will give this Unqork a looksy next, sounds neat.
