About the no-code revolution
Software is traditionally created by "coders", people who are fluent in programming languages that computers understand. Because these languages are optimized for machines (not humans), most people don't understand them and are excluded from the software creation process.
No-code platforms allow someone to create software through more intuitive visual interfaces. The tool translates your instructions into code behind the scenes, so it can be read by browsers like any other program.
No-code tools make software development faster (by replacing writing with clicking), more stable (by optimizing technical infrastructure centrally), and more accessible (by eliminating the need for coding skills). The implications of building no-code apps and products are massive: much cheaper/faster software projects, custom software being built for use cases that didn’t make sense before, and a new labor force of no-code developers.

NO-CODE FEATURES
The promise of no-code is to build a great app or tech product faster and easier. This means bringing your product to market earlier and responding to user preferences more quickly, while maintaining best-in-class tech under the hood.
The platform optimizes your infrastructure centrally, so you get performance & scalability.
Coding is S-L-O-W. Building with visual interfaces speeds up the process by 5-10x.
Pushing updates is as simple as the click of a button, so you can stay ahead of the curve.
No-code platforms come with built-in security, so you can build with peace of mind.
Most no-code tools are built to play nice with APIs, SDKs, and code-based plugins.
Your user experience can be tailored to fit any setting or function.
NO-CODE AND TECH INCLUSION
The rise of no-code app development represents an opportunity to make tech more accessible to a more diverse set of innovators, builders, and end users.
Because creating software is expensive, products typically target solving problems with big and wealthy audiences. By lowering the barriers to creating custom tools, no-code can not only make existing projects faster and cheaper, but also bring new concepts to life to serve small niches and diverse user bases.
Starting a tech company today requires teams of highly-specialized developers, making it expensive and inaccessible to most. No-code app development promises to help validate and scale ideas brought by entrepreneurs from a wide array of backgrounds, by lowering the financial and technical barriers to creating software.
Despite more than 1 million vacant programmer jobs today, the barriers to learning to code lock out many from a career in tech. Coding bootcamps routinely charge upward of $20k for a baseline training. No-code tools dramatically alter the landscape for learning and earning, offering a unique opportunity to change the face of tech.
