Very cool that you built this in such a short time!

It makes me wonder if there will be a new segment of programmers that specialize in superfast no-code app creation.

We still have many programmers whose entire programming work is customizing WordPress/Drupal themes so I don't doubt it.

> specialize in superfast no-code app creation

Rapid prototyping has been a valuable skill forever and I think this falls squarely under that.

I really hope so.

Also, I think there are a lot of opportunities for coders/programmer to to improve the space and come up with ways to support non-technical folks like myself.

I think those folks will do pretty well.

Webflow is trying to build such a community, but it's a website builder only, it's not for CRUD apps. Their blog posts usually have interviews with "Webflow-only" agencies. The work seems kinda amateurish though.

That's a subtle throwback to visual basic, I think, but not in a negative way.

Would they be programmers? Shouldn't we call them no-programmers?

Nah, only people working with assembly code are programmers.

the thing with most no-code is that ultimately its exactly the same thing as coding only not typing letters into an ide and instead dragging around logical blocks that have the same functionality as keywords or libraries in a given language. It's removing the most surface-level features of programming but not the actual work or skill that goes into it
