No-Code Questions

What is No-Code?

No-code, or visual programming is an innovative new way of building software (apps, web-apps and websites) without writing code or understanding coding language.

It is a movement lead by a new suite of tools that allow non-techies to build fully functional software using visual interfaces with drag-and-drop capabilities.

Think of it like a PowerPoint for app building. It’s much more user-friendly and can be learned in months instead of years. The future is here.

What can be build with No-Code?

These platforms are similar to Wix, Squarespace or Shopify, but allow a user to build much more powerful solutions like mobile and web apps.

In fact, no-coders have replicated platforms like Twitter, Youtube, WhatsApp, Zoom and AirBnb without coding. Whether you’re creating a messaging app, a social media, or a marketplace you can build it with no-code.

Why is this a smart way to build startups?

Building your app or website with no-code is much quicker and cheaper. It can be learned in weeks and allows you to adapt your product quickly to reach product-market-fit in months instead of years.
‍
NOTE
Building a startup however, is not only about building a product. It’s also about building a community of customers, employees and partners that will turn your product into a revenue-generating business. That’s why we created The No-Code Startup.

How technical do I need to be?

Most No-Code tools do not require any prior technical skills, on top of that we focus on educating Non-Technical founders and break down technical parts that may arise.

How long will it take me to build my MVP?

If you are a complete newbie to No-Code, it will usually take a couple of weeks to build simple solutions and a couple of months to build more complex software.

How about Cyber Security?

When building with no-code you get to take advantage of the security layer built in by the no-code tool you are using. You no longer need to pay for security audits or cyber security specialists. This allows you to focus on building features your customers need.

Can I integrate AI or other services to my MVP?

Yes, if you want to integrate an AI algorithm you built or bring in external data (eg: weather, stock market information, geo-location), you can do so by connecting it via API. This means you can leverage powerful technology from services such as Google Cloud, Amazon, Microsoft or build your own.

Can I build an App with real time data?

Yes, be it weather, traffic or even stock market data, all of it can be pulled into your app in real time. You also can access any other real time data via an API (build in no-code).

What can NOT be build with No-Code?

Although there are new use cases every day, no-code is usually not recommended to build highly customized AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality) and 3D experiences. While there are services out there, they have not reach maturity.

In addition, if you are planning to develop on the Blockchain or create Blockchain Infrastructure, No-Code is not the best fit. That being said, if you would like to be able to accept cryptocurrency payments (ERC20 Tokens or BTC) then this is possible with No-Code.

Who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) of my App?

Here the rule is simple. You build, You own. All No-Code platforms we teach, do not claim any ownership of your IP (Intellectual Property Rights) or your code base.

Is No-Code scalable?

The short answer is YES. No-Code tools can be used to build software that scales to hundreds of thousands of users. Once you go beyond that, coding or not, you will need to rebuild parts of your solution to scale into the millions.

For example, Twitter, Facebook, Clubhouse and countless other apps (mobile /web) rebuilt their infrastructure to scale. In addition, if you reach 100,000 monthly active users you should have plenty of capital to invest into your tech stack. We call this a great problem to have.

Where will my App be hosted?

Your app will be hosted on the No-Code platform you choose to develop on. These platform usually operate on Amazon Web Services. Some tools even allow you to entirely extract the codebase, make further modifications and/or select your own hosting provider.

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored in the app by default, but you have the option to have it stored on any 3rd party storage providers such as Amazon AWS, Google Storage or Microcan too.

Can I build a HIPAA compliant App?

Most no-code platforms are not HIPAA compliant. That being said, there are databases that are, meaning you can build compliant solutions with some research and work around.

We also see founders that reduce the amount of data that they collect from their customers, this allows them to not needing to be HIPAA compliant as there is no sensitive medical data that is being collected.
