Ask HN: Do you use nocode programming tools? What’s the state of the art?

3 pointsby blickentwapftalmost 5 years ago
I’ve revently found that games programming nocode tools are incredibly sophisticated.<p>I wonder why back end server application development tools aren’t?<p>Why do I have to write <i>everything</i> in code?<p>I would have thought by now I’d be able to wire most of it up nocode and fill in the gaps where more sophisticated stuff is needed with code.<p>So I wonder, what is the state of the art in nocode?<p>What is up and coming, what looks exciting and promising?

Retool seems pretty [1] <i>state of the art</i>.<p>No&#x2F;Low code is just a new phrase for the older and less-cool <i>visual-programming</i>, which has been a mirage since computer graphics came out...<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retool.com&#x2F;</a>
