@@JesseShowalter So I almost invested in Adobe XD and Bravo and then I discovered that you have to pay Bravo **FOREVER** for your app, in order to not lose app functionality?! I was going to make a little app for my non-profit employer until I discovered I would have to pay €19 a month FOREVER and have branding on the app. Seems like paying a developer would pay off fairly quickly. Even better, if Bravo folds... Your app dies.
No code has given some major fire power to designers 🔥 in my opinion, all web designers should become proficient in Webflow. It will 100X your value as a designer 💪🏼💥 Thanks Jesse
This is amazing but the naiveness of code apps are just insane have you ever tried react with next js sites load instantly I mean instant all works as apps BTW I love your videos will like to here your tots on react and next js
As a dev, I built my time sheet and invoicing app with a low code tool in about a day. All I needed was to deploy a database and sign up for a cloud email thingy. It's so awesome for prototyping ideas quickly. My invoicing app is just for internal use so I won't be touching it much. But now I'm thinking to ditch the traditional way I'm building an app/service and just get a working prototype up as quickly as possible. No need to concern myself about architecture, code structure, technologies etc. It takes so much time to understand what you're even building in the first place and you sink so much time into things that end up not being used. With no code tools, you can just swap out a few components as soon as you have a new idea and get it working within minutes.
I'm in a similar boat! I love Development stuff, but I swear that just the visuals of code trigger some type of ADHD within me. How did you make the transition from development to UI/UIX?
when i see your videos i allways remember what u said to me when i was about to quit.. get out of the perfection mentality and get to the production mentality ("from how do i start design series"), now im making 2.5k/month as a student with only one and a half years of experience thanks so much.
Dev here. I got no problem with such videos or technologies. Anything that gets my work done super quick and with accuracy, I'm down for it. As for those who think coding is the ONLY way, dude, keep an open mind and keep it moving.. Lol.. 🤣
This isn't going to change the industry... These sorts of tools have existed for years and they're extremely limiting in terms of scope and customizability.
@@iMutiny Yep! Moreover, people that embrace nocode are the ones that don't want to pay money to create their own business. Nocode SaaS is a terrible business model which is destinated to fade away. Also, non-technical people have no clue on how to develop software and all the process behind it, that's why they think they can do anything, they are just falling for the marketing ads. And honestly, have you ever heard of a tech product built with no-code making money? I did not 😂
If no-code tools do replace developers to an extent, the developers may have the luxury of charging more. As with your tailor analogy, you can buy a "cheap" suit from Macy's, or you can get it hand-crafted. Specialties have only loss popularity, but they are certainly still in business. Low demand is still demand, as long as there are a decent amount of people willing to pay that premium.
some honorable mentions: Glide - make apps using google sheets Carrd - super cheap and powerful one-page website creator notiontowebsite.com - just as the name suggests, add a custom domain to a notion page. If you love how great is notion for organizing data, then turn it into a website. Super cool
This video is insane!! Such good information! 👏🏾 I’ve JUUUUUSST become aware of no code development and I’m mind blown 🤯! Beautiful time to be alive! 🌎 Thank you!!
Would love to know the path to becoming one myself. I’m so interested in development, but to be honest the coding and debugging looks boring as hell to me. Not sorry lol
Cool video Jesse. I think Elementor and Divi deserved an honourable mention for website builders. Also WordPress next update will have a built in website builder too.
Word! As a software engineer that’s been a bit burned out with code. I’m all for this. Let’s be clear... you still have to have good design skills to make something great. Custom code development will always have a place especially in the enterprise space. This is simple a set of tools to speed up those who want to design and implement a bit faster. But let me stop typing and watch the video... 😆. Always good content Jessie!
@Ion Marcel Cool. the more the merrier, when it comes to front end design (like without JavaScript or jQuery). It seems a bit archaic to design bit by bit.
The barrier is lower but first is better to learn coding before using shortcuts.... Knowing how to program will help to make higher quality products using no code tools. IMHO
Dude, SUCH A GOOD VIDEO TOPIC. I have been trying to follow the progress of this movement for awhile. While it makes me a bit nervous as a dev/designer, I think it is inevitable.
2 or so years ago I started using Webflow for freelance web design but stopped after I got a 9-5 at a marketing agency doing graphic design. Now I wanna get back into freelance web design but I'm conflicted if I should relearn Webflow or give EditorX a go. Note: I used to develop websites with traditional code but switched to no code and I have no plans to go back to a code editor lol
Thanks for the video. I think that, apart from the website Vs mobile app classification you already made, another important one is apps for the general public Vs. apps for internal use (workflow management & similar). I would say almost all the tools you mentioned belong to the first category (they build apps/sites for the general public) but there are many no-code low-code tools that are more focused on building internal tools, e.g. a simple CRM or ERP (typically, they have less graphic/UI features and more options to implement custom workflows).
I think every developer should work with no code low code because we want to progress the future for society's to spend time on more important stuff! I am all about progress and making peoples live better and easier. Thats what all man kind has been all about is progress and bettering lives!
But the so called no-code approach is an old outdated approach from 30/40 years ago when coding was really hard and time consuming, it's not the future and it makes the lives of developers more miserable , especially during testing and deployment stages.
I was surprised you didn't mention Elementor or Beaver Builder, etc. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these sometime if you're ever able :) I see them mentioned quite a bit in my design groups.
So newbie here, at 45 years old and 26 years in the car business I am looking to get into tech. The coding quite frankly scares the crap out of me as someone with no experience coming in to the game so late. I feel like UI is probably a better fit for me personality wise, but seeing these design tools that require little to know coding really excites me. I do not want to go the traditional college route, I’d really like to dedicate more time to it than that would allow, and also move along faster than going semester by semester. Can anyone recommend a reputable program (boot camp type) that will help me get going and not break the bank? Love this video, subscribed and so happy that I stumbled on it this morning
Play looks revolutionary! I can't wait to try that out when it's complete. This looks as though it could shake up the field of prototyping tools. Definitely the main nocode tool I'm excited for.
Jesse, are sites made with No-Code tools slower than with traditional HTML,CSS and JS? I'm a self-taught developer and I started learning to make websites 3 years ago, before these tools really became popular. I've gotten pretty good and want to start freelancing, but I'm on the fence about whether I should continue hand-coding sites or just ditch it and switch to Webflow.
Great vid, Jesse! I'm excited to use Bravo, it will give me an excuse to try out a bunch of app ideas I've been wanting to design but not wanting to code. Also, as a full-fledged UX designer in a small company, I sometimes wish I could just dev it out to avoid the lack of detail and care for the designs that our developers embrace... how would you approach a company to use tools like this?
I’m a high school student who wants to become a designer specializing in logos, stationary, and UI. Even though NoCode options are becoming prevalent, do you think UI designers should still be able to code their own projects, or could I get away with being only a designer? I love design, but haven’t been interested in code. I’ve binged a ton of your videos recently, and love the content.
Conner Gates You’re right on time, bro. With no code movement, you can just focus on your UI skills. But having basic knowledge on coding is a plus. Good luck!
If you want to create web interfaces you have be able to code, is not a plus is a must. Visual programming is simply too limited and the no-code movement will fade out at some point (it is already)
Just wanted to add something about notion, you can actually set up a notion page with a custom URL. I've seen someones personal portfolio made in notion. It looked really great.
No mentions about the enterprise LCNC platforms like Outsystems or Mendix where everything is included (db, code, app, integrations etc)? Where do they fit in all of this...
i was a coder now passing a burnout so.. i'm going more on the designer side of the force, don't see myself creating the new robot to mars, so no-code looks a nice fit for me
Very,but it's funny how most people always fight against change.Not realizing that when one fights you will always loose.Lets embrace change Adapt or die
Awesome video Jesse, I tried my hands on supernova last year pretty awesome tool though with some bugs (i hope it has been fixed). But am seriously loving the NOCODE Revolution. Seems yo
Jesse I’m a full stack JavaScript developer for a insurance. Company and I will tell you I use webflow and Elementor divi. Like one of my friends taught me right tool for the right job if I need to use a lot apis and persist to the database I’ll go react mongo dn express if I need a site quick nice and the budget is tight Wordpress or we flow for the win
Hey Jesse, Thanks for sharing this video. I am actually planning to build my own travel website. I would love to hear your thoughts on how I can automate my site.
Oohhhh wow ! This is super exciting and little frightening 😸 i am graphic designer still doing my research about UX\UI field and this info is bomb 💣 👌 🙌 like woooaahhhh !! I feel like people with small businesses and small sellers will be able to create their own website and launch and do business.
It will grab so many jobs by rookie dev's, which are trying to make their career in Development. For Experienced Dev's, it doesn't make any problem at all. But al in all, these are most beneficial for UI / UX Designers. Because they can charge a lot more for website, because there is no Dev Cost at all. :p
Thanks to you i've found notion and it is a life changer. For mobile app, is there a no-code tools that support fingerprint authentication or what do you recommend ?
Hi i want to build an application for a college project, the idea of the application is: an app that saves invoices by scanning them. My question: which platform is the best to use and it will help with building the application?
I think it depends on the size and requirements of the project... like they all look slick and stuff, but if you dig deeper you find constraints on constraints with platforms like Webflow and Bravo, while with Anima you're gonna get messy code that can be possibly be used for a professional project that requires any form of back end reliability. So for a medium to big corporation i don't think these are even viable options.
@@Man0fSteell They will never be. Or at least if they want to be they will have to open themselves for code customization. Which is basically back to square one. Nocode tools have been around for more than 20 years.
Thanks, nice job on this video, another video on this topic could focus on this questions ‘what if your friend is a back end developer and is giving you a bunch of APIs to connect to your design’ can you use any of these no code front ends to integrate with a traditional back end in git - or do you need to freshen your front dev coding skills? 😉
Many thanks for the very useful video. What is your opinion about Bubble? On a second note, as I am teaching ICT in primary schools, I wish to show students how to create a website, but unfortunately my coding skills, are very poor, I am more of designer/audio/video creator. Having that said, which no code app would you recommend I go for? I am thinking about bubble as it is free, but I would much appreciate if you let me know of any other free alternatives (google sites maybe?) . Many thanks in advance.

QUESTION: If WebFlow is here, do we still need Figma or XD?
Hey Jesse! Do you think you will ever start up your private design group again? Now that you are no longer working for your previous employer, I didn't know if you would be able to or wanted to start it back up. If you are, that would be dope!
Hey Dylan, I’m stoked to be able to do what I do in any form. Working to enjoy the present work and hustle, I know bigger things are on the horizon but I am just enjoying today.
Gr8 video, thx for your job!!!. Can you recomend any no code software which can help me to create quizz web app for students with registration and counting points for good answers?
Hey Jesse let me ask you this what do you call these people who use Wix and Webflow because I want to pursue this type of field because this is something passionate me and I don't want to waste time at all!!
No-Code Testimonial (ravibajnath.design - building on Webflow). No-Code opens the opportunity for many new products and services by ways of automated integrations (API+Zapier/Integromat). I think the best advice is to keep a detailed and documented tech stack (list of API integrated apps/services) and figure out how each Zap automation can be prioritized in development and financially calculated for organization/freelance expenses. This can radically scale the work of creating more than just an individual portfolio (like my webflow project), but also a way to learn not just to design products, but build No-Code Products that can be an MVP for larger opportunities. Also, use mind maps / whiteboarding techniques to map API integration workflows (like Miro, Plectica, ClickUp, etc.) with Webflow/Zapiers API directory in another screen, saves time and research to concoct an MVP while documenting it.
When we started our programming life 36 years ago, we thought it would take 20 years max to be automated out of business. During my life as a developer, I have used some great tools that went a considerable distance in that direction. Today, it looks like a combination of cloud infrastructure with increasing software building blocks obviating custom code (except integration/glue code which could also become configuration) and these tools, maybe in another 10 years (double the time we thought), ideators and users will finally be able to circumvent the IT Department.
Dev here, not a designer. I've been giving bubble.io a chance for the past 2 weeks and it's a love/hate relationship. It's great at some stuff, like giving you a scalable database, hosting and authentication right out of the box, but on the front-end, a lot of things that are just slightly out of the ordinary require weird hacks and/or spits out non-standard HTML, ruining keyboard navigation. I get that it's immensely less intimating than a code editor, but some concepts are easier to express with a few lines of code than with a dozen clicks and dragging and checkbox clicking. All that being said, I think those tools are here to stay. The philosophy of no-code is nothing new and when you think about it, software programming has always been trying to make itself more approachable.
Hey Jesse, great video man. I know is an "oldie" but nevertherless is awesome. I would like to know if there is a free nocode tool that I can use to build a rather complex cattle database. Perhaps you or your followers can help out an "old timer" with some advise. Thank you - Semper Fi
Awesome video Jesse! I was wondering if these products were only for front-end development. You would still need a developer to take on the back-end, right?
