We just released the alpha version of Mathesar ( https://mathesar.org/ ) a couple of months ago. I'm not sure we're a "no code platform" yet, but we're in the same space.

It's a function of how much stimulus a task involves, how much disambiguation you have to do during the task, and how much context you need to load to perform the task (and how different it is from previous tasks). e.g. video meetings

I've been coming to terms with the reality of this recently. I had a concussion and post-concussion syndrome last year which meant my brain got tired extremely quickly for a few months. In order to get work done, I had to pay close att
