🖥 To code or no code. That is the question!
Interested to hear people's thoughts on no-code options for an MVP.
If you are a bootstrapped founder, have you used no-code solutions, if so which ones?
Once you scale and raise investment, have you had to rebuild your platform/app and had a large amount of tech debt to overcome?
I want to get an understanding of how far people have gone with no-code options for their startups and what...

Congrats on hitting your goals. We are busy preparing golaunchbase.com for our product hunt launch. No revenue goals as such. We just want to give back to the startup community and provide value to people looking for investment.
Are you satisfied with your results in July?

This is a great question. In all the startups we have built at Borne Digital I'm not sure I've seen a single one that hasn't pivoted at some point!
How many times did you pivot?

How are you getting feedback from users?
What tools are people using for a launched product to get user feedback?
Craft.io looks cool but interested to see any quick wins people have got to generate user feedback and turn those into backlog items.

I would say no. Unless it's backend coding. Learning front end coding really adds no value in my opinion. Having an understanding of how a backend is architected could be useful in informing UX decisions and helping with edge cases though.
Should designers learn code basics 🤔?

Well I'd say true IOT the biggest challenge at the moment is hardware and the supply chain. Also then getting components at scale for intelligent control systems and making to software that sits on those has to be the biggest challenge.
What are the biggest challenges for the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology?

I think it depends on your industry and the competition as well as who you are trying to attract.
For us as an agency we find that paid ads deliver quick results but the quality can sometimes be suspect, however if people find you via SEO then they have done their 'research' a bit more and can often be a higher quality user.

@philip_kelvin This is really great. I'm interested to see if this will work for us as Borne in an agency environment. It could be very useful for some of the startups we work with

So on a podcast I run https://www.launchbase.fm/ I found that the most successful founders I interviewed had a natural curiosity about them.
In fact, the really great ones had a relentless curiosity and were always open to ideas and change
