Power Apps https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/powe...

Uses excel and excel like formulas for stuff. Not bad for power users that can/want hack their app together.

PowerApps would not catch me endorsing it for anything beyond a year of use, however. Either a replacement needs to be on its way, or it's for a project with a defined end date.

Otherwise, "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution".

I see low code tools are suitable for power users (citizen developer) and less for programmers (pro developer).

Like a farmer hacking together some stuff for their needs instead of waiting for official solution.

Power users automate their way to gain efficiency when programmers are busy doing their stuff.
