Ask HN: What no-code tools are you using?

19 pointspplonski8621 comments

There is so much hype about no-code tools. Are you using any? Do you use no-code tools for apps creating or data analysis?

Zapier is the big one for me. Have been a big fan for years. See my first post about it from 2014. https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/1461

Tried something with Adalo. There was no optimizing or thumbnail creation of user uploaded images, so a instagram style feed would be hundreds of MB. The level of abstraction was great for a non developer, but common things like many-to-many tagging were a nightmare of janky workarounds. Their user growth is awesome but it's not ready for production imo.

Right now I'm working on https://taskfiler.com which is a list of to-do list apps. It's pocket > integromat > airtable > softer.io. still have more automation to build in, but it's fun to use a parked domain for something.

Sorry! Dang vowels. https://www.softr.io/

Retool is starting to be introduced at my company. Still early stages to have strong opinions but seems like a very powerful tool.

Notion (but with Nextjs). It's found their markdown to be quickest way to draft a landing page.

I also building Diagram (https://www.ondiagram.com), a way to build APIs with nocode and MongoDB

Kelp, just amazing for data manipulation and visualisation. You can check it here - https://kelp.app

We are using Fivetran for new ELT pipeline. Earlier we had written custom api iterator in python. Now it's just configuration of connectors

No-code tools I'm using

Airtable + Memberstack + Webflow + Zapier

So far I haven’t seen that many no-code tools that look interesting.

Perhaps AWS Amplify would qualify, for a smooth way to publish web sites.

Zapier for automation and AppSheet for creating applications.

Notion, phenomenal!

Arguably, Touchdesigner and Unreal Engine as well.

File Locator Lite if you consider RegEx no code.

Zapier and Retool

LaTeX users: is it ecen possible to bot code?

pen and paper

Pen and paper FTW!

Slide rule for even faster processing.

Access :)

I’ve never tried Access, but it definitely seems capable!
