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

Re:Ask HN: Using no-code tools to prototype faster in a star... by Fasaiph on Sunday July 23, 2023 @03:36PM (#36838916)

Thanks for sharing! I’m building an iOS app. I have no experience with Swift or React, so I thought Flutterflow would be a good place to start to get something out there. From the comments on this thread, I’m getting the idea that no-code is not enough for an extensive Mobile app and the MVP probably have to be rewritten if the idea works. I think it’s okay tho - most ideas change so much since ideation and it’s more important to get feedback early.

I’ll start with a no-code tool just to test out the concept and get early feedback, and then learn UI dev once I encounter a limitation or there is a need to actually rewrite.

Yeah totally, agreed.

No-code tools should get you atleast 50% of the way there and by that point you should have a more complete list of any problems you are going to encounter and a more accurate vision of what the application should look like.

Definitely if you can do the no-code app in a way you can extend later that is more ideal than rebuilding it completely.
