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.

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?
Wow that’s awesome! Congrats on launching a revenue generating business it seems like low/no code tools are good enough now to build and iterate on websites, but not yet mobile apps.

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

I’m a software engineer who has not done much mobile dev, and Flutterflow (no-code tool for mobile dev) makes mobile app dev + deployment so easy: https://flutterflow.ioHowever, it costs quite a lot ($70/month), and I heard the Dart code it generates is not easily extendable.In the early stages of a startup, it’s way more important to iterate quickly and not worry about scalability, so I’m...

Awesome prototype, great job!

If you’re looking to extend it, it may be awesome for users to be able to record their road trip routes and share with others - like Strava / Alltrails for road trips!
