Ask HN: Using no-code tools to prototype faster in a startup? (e.g. Flutterflow)

Flutterflow wasn't good enough for me. Bubble has a lot of nice features for prototyping, but the problem with all these low code stuff is you have to deal with the bugs in the program itself as well.

If you know how to code, coding is fastest these days, especially with a framework. Code is shorthand for communicating with a machine, after all.

Got it, so it is still worth trying to learn basic front-end programming. What’s the front end dev framework you recommend learning to be most flexible? Is React still the best one to learn, or is Flutter becoming just as good?

React is probably the best in terms of balance of pros and cons. Not React Native. Flutter was faster to figure out than Flutterflow for me. Should be far easier now that you can just ask ChatGPT.

Native Android works really well for me, especially with Jetpack Compose. I love making MVPs and making MVPs is practically a full time job now. Downside is it's one platform. But often it's enough to just gauge the market. Flutter is easy and better documented though, so just use Flutter.
