Comment on Ask HN: Is no-code a future of web development?

Comments

For relatively simple projects it's already happening, I recently booked a doctors appointment online using a site built with a no-code tool. Turns out the physician built it himself and admitted to having very little in the way of technical knowledge. Not so long ago he would've had to have hired a fullstack developer for the job.

Would a hospital booking thousands of appointments in a given day be able to get by with the same no-code solution? No, but there's only going to be so many of them.

The most popular Wordpress plugins for the past 10+ years are for complex forms, incl. appointment scheduling.

That being said, I also know a doctor who created an MVP of a specialist look-up service using FileMaker(!).

most likely not so long ago he would have not bothered because it would be too expensive

it more like no-code and low-code makes smaller projects more viable, even small projects within big companies
