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.
No code tool directory. Do people even use these?

#32Lots of great no-code tools out there but you need some experience to use them, just like coding.

What's the best alternative?

#34In the 90's plenty of companies had small MS Access Applications developed in house. Before that, we had dbase and foxpro.

Nothing, they still use Airtable. They just do their best to pair down the number of users/features or whatever Airtable bills by. They also use Softr on top of Airtable, but I don't think that mitigates cost at all.

#36Didn’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).
Saw a 3 hour YT video on how to create a airbnb clone with Bubble and I was just hooked.
Learning Bubble since. All these tools have a small learning curve, but if you get past it, it gets easy!
Pleasantly surprised to see a community of no-code people :)

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
What "barrier" are you talking about? Surely in a developing country having a human code instead of using a no-code tool, is more likely than in a developed country, as humans are more expensive the in latter??
There is a 2-3 years coding barrier till you become a "Junior" dev and can get hired. It requires access to quality education which people in developing countries simply do not have. But since they are looking to earn money as well, they prefer to use no-code. I'm talking from experience and from numbers: out of 60k no-code experts that we have, most of them (95%+) are from developing countries and not from developed…
There's 60k "no-code experts" in the world? That's amazing.

#38Yes - 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.
Do you think that no-code will move to enterprise or it will stay in "small business" area?
I think it’s a lot like Excel and databases; in a way excel is often used as a sort of a “no-code” database.
There will always be use cases for the real thing, and there will always be people who reach for the easy option, and a lot of them really only need the easy option.
But there will also always be organizations who reach for the easy option, wildly outgrow it, and pay the price…

#39No code vs AI, who's gonna win?
