I am a CS student and looking to deep dive into web3 concepts on my own. Can you please suggest me some better resources or tell me where to start as a beginner? I was thinking of starting by learning Ethereum Blockchain.

Yesterday I read a lengthy discussion on YC HackerHews that no-code is just "a buzzword". So here are my two cents 1) No Code is BIG. Gartner estimates that "by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity". So no-code is something we should take very seriously because as a trend and as an industry it will only grow. The capabilities for product development are huge, while no code & low code tools will only improve in functions. For example, I founder a no-code startup, called WeLoveNoCode (https://welovenocode.com/) which helps startup founders hire no-code developers and build products 10x faster. We got $1M funding, grow to $150K MRR, and made 2000+ projects. It's not a joke, this market is huge! 2) No code is USEFUL No-code is the art of creating solutions (native apps, websites, web apps), which could have been written with code but instead using visual methods (without coding). Most no-code tools use a visual drag-and-drop interface. In addition, a lot of them have pre-built templates that you can customize. There is also a slight difference between "low-code" and "no-code." With "low-code," you can do many things with a drag-and-drop interface; however, some coding is required for a finished product. So you ANYWAY need some background in coding. Low-code is typically great for people with intermediate technical skills. No code is a new way of building products, very different products. It's not magic. What can be built with no-code? * Mobile apps, * web apps, * websites, * workflow * automation, * marketing tools, * payment systems and the list goes on. Basically, "typical" products & MVPs benefit the most from no code. So the founder can build something in weeks, really fast. For example, WeLoveNoCode connects founders with the best no-code developers to create their software and apps without a single line of code in like ten days. You can do all of these on a monthly subscription plan. 2.) No code has proven its place already and it has A LOT of the advantages: * will save you money * you can build and test your ideas quickly * anyone can use it > Designers, product managers, marketing managers now can make their ideas tangible products. Just like a new thing, tools have to be learned, and they all have their learning curves. However, it will take you much less time and resources to learn how to use no-code tools. Unlike low-code tools, no-code tools have a limit to how much you can customize them. So if you want to change every aspect of your product or build very complex products, no-code tools may bring some limitations. However, there's so much innovation and growth with these tools, so I expect fewer barriers in a few months.

Hey there! Hope you are having a great and productive work week :) A personal question here (and why not a book recommendation thread): Which are the books that changed your mindset / broadened your perspective and why? As for me, I couldn't choose only one (because I believe every book I read gave me a small mindset change). However, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks changed the way I think about race, gender, ethics, and the scientific and medical system. Feel free to share as many books as you'd like and on any topic!

I'm on 20 days visit streak. Use this discussion to flaunt your streak numbers and share your last week's favourite product. I'll go first Better Viewer by @adem_kouki https://www.producthunt.com/post...

I am looking for an app/software that helps to track issues/bugs opened by users in an an efficient way. Currently using nolt but I feel like there are better options that I'm not aware of. Appreciate the help! Pierre Edit: The goal is to be able for users to submit an issue but also to be able to check out the current open tickets, so they don't submit the same issue twice.

Recently, I've been getting a lot of 2007 nostalgia videos on YouTube. It seems, to me, there is a need for self-expression that current social media platforms aren't really giving their users. Sites like VSCO, which provide a certain level of creativity to their users, seem to be growing very steadily. While giants like Facebook and Instagram, seem to be slowly losing relevance with the younger generation. So do you think that a website like MySpace or early YouTube could succeed in today's market?

Would love to hear if you have an organized strategy to summarize and reflect on 2021, and to set goals for 2022 accordingly? For yourself, your team, or your company/project? Thanks, and happy (almost) new year!
