> I'm almost at a point where I can build entire complex apps using only HTML on the front end and JSON on the back end with essentially no code. I think you are missing the point of no-code. Your solution isn't even low-code, you just created a framework with well-thought components to start a project. If you need to integrate a third-party component that uses code, you'll need to integrate that code in your HTML/JSON or create a new abstraction in JS to use in the HTML. disclaimer: I'm creating a "similar" platform and got curious by what would set your SDK apart from mainstream frameworks but I don't think what you described is anything different. For the view part, is it using something like htmx, react or pure JS?

It's definitely no code. I built some dynamic pages of my service to manage data with it that are all HTML markup and JSON. I would have used it for all pages if I had created the components earlier. HTML is markup, not code. JSON is object notation, not code. I used very little code to build my service. I think this type of highly flexible low-code is the right path to no-code. I know from experience that people with zero tech knowledge can be taught HTML and CSS in a few weeks.
