State of No Code with No Code Ops Founder | E38
State of No Code
We brought on Philip Lakin. He is the Founder of No-Code Ops, and he created one of the biggest communities around no-code with over 9,000 members. He also launched Switchboard, an exciting product as an error monitoring tool for automation tools like Zapier and Make. He raised his seed stage at over $4m recently.
No-code refers to software tools that allow users to build and even deploy applications or software without needing technical know-how. I like to describe it as software-eating software. Building a website or an app on mobile or desktop took a deep understanding of software languages. Today #Wix allows you to create stunning websites, #webflow, #Zapier allows automation between applications, and you can build a personalized CRM within #Monday.com.
