Hey Sometimes I can come up with an idea that perfectly fits the Producthunt vibe. Usually, it is a SaaS but really small, so it can be someone's pet project. If you have the same ideas, let's share them here! It might help the new members to start with something small but cool & useful! My attempt: Simple & Sexy monitoring of your product key metrics. (inspired by YC Startup School dashboard). 1. You code secret endpoint that returns the key metrics (DAU, Retention, $$$) 2. SaaS calls this endpoint each day and saves result 3. You receive a sexy & simple dashboard for all your pet projects. It can be viewed on a large TV or in iOS app widget. Let's start our day with growing metrics motivation!

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.
