If you cannot code, can you create something more powerful than a website?

I& #39;ve studied dozens of Makers who launched web apps, marketplaces, community, job boards - all without code.

I& #39;d like to share my learnings through 3 personas that are game-changers.

A #nocode thread:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏗" title="Gebäude im Bau" aria-label="Emoji: Gebäude im Bau">How they Operate:
The cost to make something contrarian and ship it is essentially zero.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">As the cost to create goes down, opp. cost to create contrarian ideas goes up. The potential upside is massive
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">There is much less risk in cost/time for initial dev. Build it with #NoCode - no hiring a dev - no convincing investors - just build it

The Niche Insider Maker
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏗" title="Gebäude im Bau" aria-label="Emoji: Gebäude im Bau">How they Operate:

A niche expert like a photographer can solve their own problems by building a solution without having to hire a development team, and can build it without having to learn code but instead visual development.

The learning curve is less.
Why this Matters:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">Is there anything more liberating than being able to solve your own problems?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">If you are a professional in industry x, that knowledge you have of core problems = advantage
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">Selling is hard. Advantage as an insider, use your relationships for early adoption
Example of The Niche Insider Maker :
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Sonnenbrille">Maker @Andrew_Vernon

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔑" title="Schlüssel" aria-label="Emoji: Schlüssel">Andrew is a photographer. And is making something that solves a problem for photographers

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">Removal of two major barriers - development team, sales team
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen">Tap into your unique advantage - you are within the niche - you can create it yourself - no need to hire an expensive development shop that could hold you hostage over a half baked product - especially if you are trying to develop the product iteratively to figure it out

1. Democratization of development - There is a significant market of people who were not empowered to making things more complex than a static website. But will
now be empowered to build things. This will be a tectonic shift and game-changer.

2. No-code will not replace coding - it will create more opps. for platforms that support the visual development market of web and mobile applications. https://twitter.com/bentossell/status/1254877794997342210?s=20">https://twitter.com/bentossel...

If you& #39;d like to get started but not sure where, I& #39;ve created Get Stackd. It gives you a custom recommendation of the best tools to use based on your idea.

You can try it for free here: https://bit.ly/3gxEZct ">https://bit.ly/3gxEZct&q...
It recommends the best no-code tools to use to based on data from dozens of Makers who have actually made and launched a no-code project.

Also - feel free to check out http://sideprojectstack.com"> http://sideprojectstack.com  a site I made to provide resources to make and launch something.
