You make a good point re: states vs processes being more difficult. But on the other hand, I work with a team of marketers who set up fairly complex processes for dealing with inbound leads with no code marketing tools, so I don’t think it’s as far off as you think.
Just because your particular niche has certain complexities that make it more resistant to visual representation with current methods, doesn’t mean we throw out the whole no code movement.
After 20+ years of various companies trying to create a good no-code tool for html/css (eg dreamweaver, frontpage, etc), Webflow finally solved it IMO. So it can take a long time.
But I see no reason why this won’t travel further down the software stack eventually. And we shouldn’t be afraid of it like it’s a threat to us.
