Wordpress-like tool for mobile apps development #nocode #apps

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 08:04:00 +0000

It always bugged me how expensive mobile app development is comparing to developing website. For example, it is perfectly standard for someone to quickly build simple website for a friend for a few bucks/coffee, while app development starts with a few thousands $, even for quite a simple use cases. This is especially concerning given how mobile apps perform much better for many use cases (like e-commerce).

Current "app builders" doesn't really address the problem, as they very much focus on designing the screens. They are also more similar to services like Wix than Wordpress (this means that it may be quite easy to build an app, but in case you need new and more specific features in the future, there is a big risk that you will need to rewrite it in different technology anyway, while in Wordpress, you can achieve pretty much anything through plugins or writing your own code).

I feel like there is a great room for technology similar to Wordpress in philosophy that would focus on rapid mobile app development that would focus more on covering common use cases and good plugin support instead of drag and drop design tool similar to Elementor.

Localization for No-Code platforms #language #nocode

Sat, 20 Nov 2021 14:03:00 +0000

I recently reviewed couple of no-code platforms to recommend to a friend and learnt that even major platforms lack in localization[1][2] both in the apps built through them and as a platform themselves.

Lack of localization seems like a major de-limiter to anyone who wishes to build apps for regional audience using these no-code platforms.

On-demand data science without coding #datascience #nocode

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:08:00 +0000

Often I'm in a position where I would like to get quick insights on a web data or pdf but not equipped to run a proper data science setup or isn't economical to task it to a data scientist.

A web scrapper with builtin insight generator would solve this problem.

Say, I spin up the scrapper in the web page, select necessary data to be scrapped, mark relationships between them and at the end of the scrapping I get neat visualisations for the insights regarding the data. It can be more useful, if input is not limited to the web pages but also pdf, spreadsheet, csv etc.

I think there is a need gap to bridge modern data science advancements to non-coders who deal with large data.
