I am happyu to see this crowd calling webflow for what it is, a WYSIWYG editor, I'm a non technical but tech savvy person and I've built simple sites (some with basic "app" like functionalities) in the past using Squarespace, Wix, Wordpress, and my current favorite: Tilda. Only in the past 18 months has everyone starting to call Webflow "no-code" and I felt like I must have been missing something.

Thunkable, Adalo, Bubble, those are no-code tools Webflow, Carrd (which I like but is also touted as no-code platform when it's basically a landing page builder) and in different categories Notion or Airtable... they're great tools but it feels misleading to call these "no code platforms"

Agree, no-code is a hot marketing term right now.

The only legit no-code project I know of is https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode
