If you cannot code, can you create something more powerful than a website?
I've studied dozens of Makers who launched web apps, marketplaces, community, job boards - all without code.
I'd like to share my learnings through 3 personas that are game-changers.

I've studied dozens of Makers who launched web apps, marketplaces, community, job boards - all without code.
I'd like to share my learnings through 3 personas that are game-changers.
A #nocode thread:
Persona #1: The Start-up Builder
How They OperateBuild a fully functioning app without code.
Why this Matters
No more "You need a technical co-founder" to startEliminates the need for a prototype or mvp with actual codeCreate a very high fidelity functioning app
Example:
Makers @thisiskp_ @gill_works
Speed matters - Went from landing page to VC interest in 20 days
Launched fully automated beta version of @getcuppaio
500 beta users
No-code Tech Stack: @bubble @Twitter @zoom_us @integromat @googlecalendar

Persona #2:The Peter Thiel aka Contrarian Maker
How they Operate:The cost to make something contrarian and ship it is essentially zero.
Why this Matters:
Why this Matters:
As the cost to create goes down, opp. cost to create contrarian ideas goes up. The potential upside is massive
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

Example of The Peter Thiel:
Maker @whit4th
Made a subscription pizza service that sends pizza to your doorstep at random delivery times: http://randompizza.io
In a crowded noisy market, how can you enter it? Doing something different can get you above the noise

You would not ordinarily try this but, @ < cost, why wouldn't you build it in a weekend?Faster creation and iteration time to make and launch with no real amount of sunk time if it doesn't work. Risk?No-code tech stack: @webflow @typeform @gumroad @zapier @googlesheets

Persona #3:The Niche Insider Maker
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:
Is there anything more liberating than being able to solve your own problems?
If you are a professional in industry x, that knowledge you have of core problems = advantage
Selling is hard. Advantage as an insider, use your relationships for early adoption

Example of The Niche Insider Maker :
Maker @Andrew_Vernon
Andrew is a photographer. And is making something that solves a problem for photographers
Removal of two major barriers - development team, sales team

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
No-code tech stack built with: @bubbleYou can read more about his story here: https://sideprojectstack.com/is-no-code-a-game-changer/Summary: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

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 a site I made to provide resources to make and launch something.
