The No Code Development Landscape: Every Tool To Create Without Code, Categorized

I define no code as:

Software that relies largely on visual interactions to build tools, apps, functionality and automations without the need to write either front end or back end code.

No code tools occupy an interesting space — a far larger space than I realized before embarking on this data collection journey. I thought I would find a few dozen but ended up pulling together 137.

They live in a land between off-the shelf apps/software that have little to no customization capability and custom software built from scratch. Within that space is a wide spectrum from basic front end drag and drop builders to low-code enterprise app builders that allow for a combination of visual workflow creation paired with code (if needed) to accomplish end goals. If you play around with any of the more robust builders, you’ll notice that they generally have the ability to dig in and add custom code in certain scenarios, but overall their main capabilities focus on removing the need to code.

IF YOU’VE NEVER PLAYED AROUND WITH SOME OF THE BETTER NO CODE TOOLS IN THE SPACE, YOU’D PROBABLY BE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH.

A few notes on how pulled this together:

• If you’ll notice, this is version 0.1 of the landscape. I am sure I’ve missed some folks so please…
