🔍 Problem

Developers are lazy and curious. Repetitive tasks annoy them.

💡 Solution

No-Code tools help you build things without writing code. Blogs, forums, mobile apps, online stores and a lot more can be built without knowing how to code. 

The life of a no-code tool starts with developers solving their own problems.

Most no-code tools share this path 👇

1.  Developers write reusable functions to write less code
2.  Then they create frameworks to write *even* less code
3.  Then they deploy [APIs](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-an-api-in-english-please-b880a3214a82/) to help others write less code
4.  Then they create no code tools to help others write no code

🔮 Predictions

-   No-Code Developer (or some variation) will become a common job title.
-   No-Code will become a gateway drug for makers to start coding.
-   No-Code ➡ Low-Code ➡ Code --- New businesses will follow this path. Mature companies will have all three.

☁️ Opportunities

-   Build a [no-code tool](https://twitter.com/truedrewco/status/1234923309768286208?s=20) to create chrome extensions
-   Host a no-code virtual summit

-   Start a no-code investment fund
-   Build a no-code agency

😠 Haters

"You can't build a business on no-code."
I wrote [Million Dollar No Code Businesses](https://druriley.com/million-dollar-no-code-businesses/) to dismiss this. It doesn't matter what we think because it has already happened.

"No-Code can't scale."
Most no-code tools can scale but it doesn't matter. Scaling isn't the hard part. Traction is. Once you validate demand, I'll come scale it for you. 💰👀

"No-Code will eliminate developer jobs."
I won't argue. DM me a falsifiable theory and your confidence level. Let's make a bet.
