Yes - a ton of people. "No code" is great, tons of small businesses use them to put together internal tooling and reduce operational costs in a way that previously would only be possible with an engineering team.
Lots of different types of tools here. Some are no code, most are low code. There is no clear dividing line between them: they are all configurable platforms with the ability to incorporate code through APIs and add ons.<p>Some are just special purpose utilities (eg Postman). Some are niche products with a relatively limited set of use cases(eg Airtable), some are enterprise grade platforms which can be used to build huge systems (eg Salesforce, MS Power platform), and there is every type of gradation between these.<p>This is a multi billion dollar business, growing steadily. It's going to accelerate even faster as LLM Technologies are increasingly tuned to build code extensions.
Hi HN, maybe I’m crazy, but why are there so many no-code tools? I see them launching every day but outside of Framer, Bubble, Webflow, etc., don’t know anyone who uses them.
Didn’t know much about “other” no-code tools (typical WordPress guy!) and just heard about Bubble a few months back (for me it was Bubble first and then track back to general no-code).<p>Saw a 3 hour YT video on how to create a airbnb clone with Bubble and I was just hooked.<p>Learning Bubble since. All these tools have a small learning curve, but if you get past it, it gets easy!<p>Pleasantly surprised to see a community of no-code people :)
I was part of a non-profit organization that extensively used Airtable to drive it's processes. It works pretty well, but gets expensive with a large and open organization.
