What is NoCode?

We are swamped with multiple devices at hand and we use them for most of our time for work or leisure. Either we are instagramming or gaming or debating on reddit. Apps we used are made using an extensive codebase. We all have ideas that we want to draft and put it up on the web or mobile but we we find it difficult to execute or have no knowledge around coding. Nocode empowers people with no code knowledge to develop their website or mobile apps right away.

Nocode gives power to creators to make their ideas become reality and accomplish it faster. It not only provides tools to make websites or apps but also helps in developing chatbots, internal tooling and automation of tasks are also possible with these tools. Additionally it also reduces the burden from developers to code everything that is requested from different stakeholders of the company. Moreover, the production cost of making this cost can significantly reduce because you don’t want to train developers and pay higher salaries to acquire them too.
