> As an engineer, it is in my DNA to build things. However, it’s too easy to get stuck in the mindset that you have to build everything. This mentality often leads one stuck with a plethora of incomplete products that grew too complex to finish before losing interest.

This. I can relate so much. I feel my instinct is always to roll-my-own because I can and, perhaps more importantly, because I'm not familiar with relevant no-code services.

What other such tools/services are out there that can help "to go from idea to proof-of-concept in only a few hours."?

It's relatively new, but I've been using Coda.io to build a lot of interesting ideas out. I've built some fantasy leagues, a very powerful task tracker/organizer, and do all of my trip planning using it.

Definitely check out their templates, https://coda.io/templates

The tools in the article, google sheets and zapier are quite good. A few more that might fit are airtable, webflow and stripe. Maybe even look into something like google app maker as well.
As luck would have it, I recently pulled together a list of no code tools into a market landscape: https://www.createwithoutcode.com/posts/no-code-development-...

I'll be adding more in the coming days...

To directly answer your question, I would recommend Bubble.is as a great place to start in the no code space.
