Things to keep in mind. - Become a No-Coder

I have checked many times to see if there is any missing point in this product. Probably not complete enough to be a perfect guide. I hope I can complete this on version 2.

I've added this page to explain a few things I noticed during these checks and even touched on from time to time.

I know that I have mentioned flexible and advanced platforms many times, but there are some places I am missing, and I found one of them.

First of all, it is necessary to remember Einstein's famous quote: You cannot teach a fish to climb stairs.

It's a thoughtful statement. Yes, we may not all be programmers; we may not all be able to think with programming logic.

So, should we stop being a no-coder if this is the case?

No way!

Being a no-coder means not writing code, as the name suggests. Maybe you don't want to dive into programming; perhaps programming isn't suitable for you. Remember that no-coders are not creating anything new; they are just flag bearers of a stream.

You can become a no-coder by using no-code tools without learning any programming.

You may not know the endpoint, may not care about the API, or even the database dynamics may not interest you; I think there is no problem.

But what do you do when you have to deal with something that needs an API, endpoint, or database?

Very simple!

You will use platforms with zero learning curve and automation tools together. That's it!

You're still a no-coder; you're still a citizen developer! Your costs will likely be lower if you get these things done using a platform that can afford them. But this also applies to traditional code users.

You may be able to pay a little more, but you can avoid the steep learning curves and hire people who can grow your business and expand other verticals.

Let's exemplify. Softr.io has zero learning curve. But it doesn't offer flexible solutions; there is no database, and it recommends you to connect AirTable instead.

If you need something more complex, your solution is ready. Combine Softr with automation tools. That's it. Softr + Zapier + Airtable. You can easily put together thousands of challenging tasks.

Let's end with a real-life example. 👇

Bloom Institute of Technology (formerly Lamdba School)

Raising seed funds of $4M, BloomTech redefines the virtual education industry. BloomTech is built around the unique Income Share Agreements (ISAs) Model. The model lets students pay no tuition upfront. They agree to pay back 17% of their income post-graduation for two years, but only after securing a job.

BloomTech, formerly Lambda School, is a product of the no-code movement. They built their MVP, which serves over 3'000 students, using a combination of tools like Typeform, Airtable, and Retool. They've added other tools like Webflow, Salesforce, Calendly, and Zapier to grow and scale the platform.

A senior growth executive at BloomTech, Mitchell Wright, said, "The no-code movement allows more people to participate in automation and building. There are a lot of tools and products that can be built without any engineering help. "
