How many of you here are building products using no-code tools? If you're live, what has been your experience with overall customisation, domain specific logic?
I build websites with Webflow, but I have to say that building tools pushed me to learn code and Iām so glad I did. Building apps with code and I love it.

That's something I want to start soon, so I'm all ears for other people's experience
I'm gonna have to put my unpopular opinion out there... No-code is bad.
At least for me, I can't use no-code tools, because the customizability is just lacking yet. I prefer to hand-code it, even if it takes longer. You can't control the performance, security or SEO using no-code as well as you can by doing it custom.
However, I would imagine it's pretty useful for non-developers! I would just never use it myself š¤·āāļø

UPDATE: I'm all for low-code, because you can sprinkle in custom stuff when you need to

I'm just beginning my #nocode journey. I'd say that customization is one area where nocode tools lose a step when compared with coding. I'm more than willing to make that tradeoff for speed and happiness, however.
@anderkd I was about to say, they're good to prove a simple and "normal" concept, but still haven't seen full scale startups being built. I'm hopeful though

@anderkd@veebuv what do you mean when you say 'full scale startups' out of interest? Do you mean complex products specifically? Or just that you haven't seen someone actually try to build a business with a no-code product?

I'm not working on it but just a soft. on youtube is came to my attention called XPoda. maybe helps
Due to various limitation aspects I started learning to code a few years ago. It is hard but it is worth it, now I can develop my own projects and if there's something I don't know I can easily learn and implement. I highly advise to learn coding
I've been playing with several platforms and, from my point of view, the possibility to connect with external services like APIs, DBs... It's a key.
Imagine to have a website with a users database, probably you'd like to connect it with your app but, some no-code tools don't allow to sync with external services.
Bearing this in mind, I believe that it's perfectly doable to create very good products with no-code tools :)
