Tom and his team are launching today an additional product inside Weld. @tomsoderlund please tell us about it. How long did it take to build it? Why is it a game changer?

@gregoiregilbert Thanks for spotting us! Well, since starting in 2014, we have worked hard to build a tool where non-techies can make interactive services and apps. Only 0.5% can code, and I don't think the solution is for everybody to learn it. In Weld v1 (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...), the focus was on interaction design - a wireframing tool. With the Weld v2 launch (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...), we added visual design - a web design tool. And with Weld v3 we finally add interactivity. Today we launch Weld Action Blocks (https://www.weld.io/actionblocks/), a tool to build web apps with drag & drop. We’ve designed it to be very simple to use. For now you can make animations, calculations, connecting with servers and sending email - simple stuff. It will become more powerful over time.

As a Landing Page geek - I completely love Weld and the continuous development of the platform. Good job, Tom! 👍

@mkaroumi Thanks, Marcus! As of today your landing pages can be even more engaging with the added interactivity. Animated graphs and custom forms should open up a lot of new opportunities for creators.

@hanktard Sounds awesome. Just tried it and love this infographic example - https://www.weld.io/actionblocks...

I sense an aqui-hire coming... I'd love to see this picked up by a bigger company (like Google Domains) that could really take this to the next level and make it even more powerful. Great job guys.

I tried out the beta of Action Blocks and was pretty impressed. It almost reminds me of a previously launched product, Guestimate (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...). Instead of hacking spreadsheets with blocks, Weld is doing the same for interactions and logic for websites and apps. I like that the tutorial for the feature is built right into Weld, so it makes learning easier. Nicely done!

@kunalslab Thanks Kunal! Cool, is that the "Task 1/2" tutorial you mean?
Kunal Bhatia
@tomsoderlund Exactly. Did the 2nd task as well. More challenging, but a good intro to blocks I had not tried out before.

The idea to create web apps without coding is great for someone like me – I have ideas but no coding skills : ) Awesome start on something that can be world changing.

Perfect tool for those "let's build and see" moments got even better. Awesome team behind the product as well.

@andreyz Thanks! Yes, the original idea of Weld actually came from my own frustration of having too many ideas, and not enough time to build/try them.
