Re:Ask HN: Problems worth solving with a low-code back end? by matt_s on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @11:04AM (#39680391)
Any low-code backend builder implies there is code being written. Functions/methods like the example you have are literally part of most Math libraries in whatever language is in the backend - Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Perl, etc.

You should consider finding business problems that need solving with no/low code solutions which will lead you to what might need to be built. For example, if I'm building a no-code app for a Realtor persona then I might want various features that do a mathematical average.

"Any low-code backend builder implies there is code being written." True, in my case functions form a DSL which means abstraction.

"You should consider finding business problems that need solving with no/low code solutions which will lead you to what might need to be built." Yes, I don't want to implement more functions until I know which functions would be needed.
