| Looks like reddit, for sure. OP: why did you build it? practice? hn points? hate on the nocode haters? work for bubble? consulting sales? all the above? i think it's strange that folks are using the "but it's good for rapid/throwaway prototyping/design!" argument. is it? if rapid prototyping is the argument for no code, well i get it -- but it's not the marketing i've seen for at least 10 years. outside of that, the biggest drawback is the cost, with the ever-looming threat that you're going to get pandora'd by the rent-seeking no-code platform (anything you potentially make will just be siphoned off). i know there are successful no code businesses -- even ones that are not just landing pages for no-code lessons, or no-code consulting, or no-code marketing, or no-code no-coding -- no-code tools really are a blessing for helping to democratize technology a tiny bit. but if you want to do something that no code tools _should_ be designed for, imo -- namely, prototyping ideas very quickly with an actual fair shot of beating out the big boys -- you can't do it without tons of expertise and money and influence and connections and all the stuff you usually need. you can't do it, in part, because branding / functionality / performance / etc. is all severely limited. want to try a new idea? sure - please go ahead - learn our 'no code' stack, give us $50/mo for your 'hello, world', and if you want to try Idea II, that will be anotehr $50/mo, thanks. working moms? poor/working class teens? 99% of the population? getoutttaaheeeere. |
