Hey Product Hunt!
I am pumped to show off our "work in progress" to the no code community (and NEW know-nothing no coders - these are my favorite).
❓ Why we built V.One:
As a non technical founder I know what it’s like to not be able to make your tech idea come to life. Growing up with nothing, I didn’t have access to a computer with internet, let alone access to resources to learn to code. Also, growing up I wanted nothing more than to be an entrepreneur.
When I had my app idea, I was abandoned by 14 different technical co founders, hired offshore freelancers, and tried to code myself, because I had little money.
These things are personal for me. Helping the true, non technical people who have ideas but cannot make them. Empowering the most non technical person to build an app. Not hire a progressional to build it for you. Making it so easy quite literally anyone can do it.
Only 4% of people know how to navigate a CMS. Even less can afford the risk of hiring a freelancer, bringing on a technical co founder, or paying the high costs involved with having someone else to build it for them.
Lead by a non technical founder who has been through exactly what our customers have been through no one knows the problem better than we do. No one will commit to making an easier solution. One where you don’t have to be highly motivated in order to overcome the learning curve in order to be an app maker. Everyone should have access to technology and we want v.one to be the place where non technical people build their ideas.
With V.One you can:
✅ Design inside our app builder or upload designs you already have. It could not be more simple.
✅ Download your source code and extend it, so you or a tech teammate can build on to it as you see fit.
✅ Focus on your end users while making money with form payments, e-commerce and memberships.
✅ Launch your app to TestFlight to test with beta customers, or launch in the App or Android store with one click.
Does our builder not do something you need it to? No worries. Just request a feature and we'll get to it.
We’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!
@thejeremyredman Congrats on the launch Jeremy!
I’m really looking forward to watching this app and projects Makers create with it. I think there is a huge need in the area of simplifying the process and reducing the learning curve within the native app no-code space. V.one addresses that head on. Looking forward to seeing more!
@michaeljnovotny Thank you, Michael! We already are working with lots of really amazing people from all over. It's very exciting to help folks from all industries launch an app in the easiest way possible.
@damian_chlanda Hi there! Yup, as you can see in our pricing page, the free plan is coming soon :) If you request access now, you can get on our waitlist to be notified when the plan comes out.

@damian_chlanda@thejeremyredman oh, great! What about if my traffic on the app changes does that change the price? Can I use database for developing web app later?
@damian_chlanda We already have the option to publish your app as a web app. It's focused on the mobile experience. Again, our aim is to make as easy and fast as possible for people to push something live and share it with the world, before even having to go to the app store. And since our pricing isn't based on traffic, that shouldn't be a problem. Unless your app becomes a global sensation overnight! But, even then, we can figure something out ;-)

@damian_chlanda@thejeremyredman great, and you mention on website that I can always get source code and move anywhere if needed?
You guys are a scam. I've tried it for a couple of months and then deactivated the account (there was no button to unsubscribe), and you're still charging me 14 dollars per month. I've written you 3 emails and you're guys ignoring it and sending me a "discount coupon".
Also tried to reach out to you guys on Twitter. But also got ignored. https://twitter.com/sergeybunas/...
You're the first no-code service that treats their users like this.
Besides, you claim that apps made with your platform are "native" but actually they are far away from "native". And they just are web pages. Compared to other services that use React-Native (Adalo, Draftbit, Thunkable)
I will definitely not recommend this no-code platform.
@serjobas Hi Sergey! Thanks for reaching out. We haven't been ignoring you actually. The emails you have received are an automation that helps us save time and offer a discount to users who would benefit from a little break. Keith, with whom you've chatted before reached out to me and I personally canceled your account on October 31st. You will not be charged anymore. From your Twitter bio, I can see that you are a front-end developer which is awesome. Our builder, however, was designed with the non-technical founder in mind, which differentiates us from some of those platforms you mentioned. I'm sorry that you think we are a scam but we certainly aren't. We'd be happy to address any other concerns. And we don't mind doing so publicly so, let me know if there is anything else I can help you with :)
@ryan_myher This is just the start!!!! Wait until you see what we have in store!

Hi @thejeremyredman , I couldn't find any way to contact you or your support from your website, so asking here. I am interested to jump on the early access paid plan, is this for a single app? Or can we make multiple apps from one account?
@jesse_alvarado Hi Jesse! Sorry about that. You can always use the video chat in the website or email us at support@yourvone.com. With the early access paid plan you get to design and ship one app. If you have any questions, you can email the support email and Keith will help you out OR even better, book a demo with him: bitly.com/keith-vone

@yourvone@thejeremyredman Thanks for the fast support! Much appreciated, congrats on the launch and looking forward to seeing V.One grow :)
@smallder@thejeremyredman You very clearly did. Engineers usually struggle to build stuff "right" because the people up the chain that are supposed to be providing requirements aren't doing their job, whether that be someone else on their team or the actual customer. They're engineers, not mind readers. It's not their fault people can't articulate what they want properly.
@jdfwarrior Hey David, I'm really sorry that it came across that way. It was never my intention to diss engineers, or anyone else for that matter. If anyone understands how hard it is to work with a product team to make something, it's me! I totally understand where you're coming from and you're right, engineers aren't mind readers, they are just so good at making amazing stuff that sometimes we forget! Would love to hear your thoughts on no-code and even our platform!
@jdfwarrior@thejeremyredman Personally, no-code isn't my cup of tea. That's not a knock on your platform though, it's just personal preference. I see the role that it can fill for people with limited budget or no coding experience having the ability to produce something that gets them up and running easily without having to have a ton of experience. There are a lot of instances where stuff like that works well. As a developer though, I also see the flip side and feel that no-code is cookie cutter stuff that can't be refined to do EXACTLY what I want. Now, once again, I understand that it isn't for the.. advanced user? It's not marketed at me. So, on that note, what I saw in the video looks good and seems like you put a like of work and thought into it. Nicely done.
@jdfwarrior Thanks, David! That's our whole vision, to get users up and running, testing their idea out with. Once they're ready they can export the source code and find a developer like yourself to build out a more mature version of the product. Thanks for the compliment! We all have definitely been losing sleep over this lol!

How do I bookmark this to keep track of this project's progress? This is awesome. Congrats Jeremy.
This is a kickass product for my small business clients! Easy to upload new product designs and with push notifications I can keep everyone informed on what the brand is doing and of new product offerings! I’ve shopped around, for the simple apps I need this is the best bang for your buc!
It's so sad that there is no trial. Currently we have 3 paid apps in glide and the interface is very similar to glide which I like so much.
Here is my scenario : Our website is built on Squarespace and we are planning a migration to Webflow anytime soon. I cannot imagine how V.One makes our workflow easier when our migration is completed.
But unfortunately I would not pay for one year for a product which I'm not sure that I will use definitely.
If there will be a monthly plan for trying I would definitely purchase it.
