Question
I'm considering using one of the low / no-code app development platforms for an app idea that I have. (Goodbarber, Appypie, Buildfire, etc.) I do not have coding or design expertise. I'd like to understand until how far in the development cycle such tools are generally useful.
Do folks recommend only using such tools for prototyping, alpha and beta, or MVPs, but hiring a developer (either in-house or contract) later on? Or is it both possible and reasonable to consider using such a no-code/ low code platform longer term?
Do these platforms have enough customization and design tools to create beautiful, customized consumer apps with a good ux? If so (it may not be), is it possible to achieve these results without the help of a designer?
Would love to hear from folks who have experience using these tools.
Answer
AppyPie is a good service to use. They have many integrations and you can apply your own code to advance their choices.
