No-Code vs. Pro-Code: A New Hope

I’m currently in the process of converting a no code product to “pro code“ per their definition, and I agree with their intentions here.<p>Many of these efforts in the past (including the team I’m on) lump opinionated libraries in with what I call secondary programming languages.<p>Opinionated libraries can save everyone a lot of time, as long as they are programmable and allow easy access to levels below, as well as further abstraction upwards. Throwing a new programming language into the mix interferes with abstraction traversal and stack traces in a devastating way.

We have been using Journey&#x27;s platform for years. We use it across multiple countries and tens of thousands of users. I can&#x27;t recommend them enough.

Firm agreement about the goals! Over at Dark (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darklang.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darklang.com</a>), we&#x27;ve been referring to the space adjacent to Low&#x2F;No-code as &quot;Just code&quot;, to indicate that there&#x27;s only code there and nothing else. Would be curious what other languages&#x2F;frameworks the JourneyApps folks would include in &quot;Pro-code&quot;?

I wonder if you are familiar with the predictive databases?<p>We at Aito.ai have gotten lot of interest from different RPA&#x2F;no-node users and providers, and predictive database queries seem like a best intelligent automation.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aito.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;could-predictive-database-queries-replace-machine-learning-models&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aito.ai&#x2F;blog&#x2F;could-predictive-database-queries-repla...</a><p>It would be interesting to deeply integrate predictive functionality in your system, especially as it integrates a DB naturally. This could be used to offer predictive functionality from the plarform out of the box.

IMHO if you want to attract no-code users you need to change your site branding. It&#x27;s very &#x27;engineerish&#x27; aka probably fine for the crowd on HN but not on Indie Hackers. Look at Webflow&#x2F;Airtable&#x2F;Zapier and take inspiration. You&#x27;re going to have a hard time resonating with that crowd. They like bright colors.
