What no-code tools are you using?


There is so much hype about no-code tools. Are you using any? Do you use no-code tools for apps creating or data analysis?

Zapier is the big one for me. Have been a big fan for years. See my first post about it from 2014. https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/1461

Tried something with Adalo. There was no optimizing or thumbnail creation of user uploaded images, so a instagram style feed would be hundreds of MB. The level of abstraction was great for a non developer, but common things like many-to-many tagging were a nightmare of janky workarounds. Their user growth is awesome but it's not ready for production imo.

Right now I'm working on https://taskfiler.com which is a list of to-do list apps. It's pocket > integromat > airtable > softer.io. still have more automation to build in, but it's fun to use a parked domain for something.

Retool is starting to be introduced at my company. Still early stages to have strong opinions but seems like a very powerful tool.

Notion (but with Nextjs). It's found their markdown to be quickest way to draft a landing page.

I also building Diagram (https://www.ondiagram.com), a way to build APIs with nocode and MongoDB

Kelp, just amazing for data manipulation and visualisation. You can check it here - https://kelp.app

We are using Fivetran for new ELT pipeline. Earlier we had written custom api iterator in python. Now it's just configuration of connectors

No-code tools I'm using

Airtable + Memberstack + Webflow + Zapier

So far I haven’t seen that many no-code tools that look interesting.

Perhaps AWS Amplify would qualify, for a smooth way to publish web sites.


👤 BjoernKW
Zapier for automation and AppSheet for creating applications.

👤 porcc
Notion, phenomenal!

Arguably, Touchdesigner and Unreal Engine as well.


👤 westcort
File Locator Lite if you consider RegEx no code.
