I find the no-low-code trend really interesting, because it shines a light on the difference in perspective between programmers and non-programmers. It's generally assumed that "code is complex", and therefore that's where the complexity lies in producing software. It's a reasonable assumption if you're looking at it from the outside, but anyone who codes knows that complexity is, well, complex.
I've always found the complexity was implementing business requirements. for example if field x is "y" then fields g is required, and field f can only be these three choices. and if field g is filled in, then field x can not be y Stuff like this is where a lot of no-code stuff falls down.
I have always been able to find a way around when implementing complex business logic.
A very peculiar use case I had to solve was for a parking slot booking app - limited spots available, one spot can hold either one large vehicle (car) or six 2-wheelers.
So essentially it became like how you mentioned-> if x=car then parking spots available can only be N choices. If x = bike, then spots is 6N or 6(N-1) if someone booked a spot for a car. If spots remaining = 3 then x can not be Car.
Took me a couple of days to get it working but i was in the end able to get a working app built purely with no-code on DronaHQ.
