Building a tech startup means building a website, an app, or something that requires coding skills. But it will next 3–4 months to become good enough at coding to build a production-ready app
Here’s an alternative
A no-code tool is software that allows any individual without any coding skill to build and launch their app. I would recommend any non-technical person to use no-code tools to build their ideas instead of learning to code.
If you wanna know why, keep reading …
Building MVP with no code takes about 1–3 days, which will allow you to get feedback from the market faster. You cannot waste time building an app only to know that people don’t want to use it after you have spent 3 months on it.
It takes years of practice to build a bug-free application. If you are just starting out and decided to code an app on your own, chances are that your app is gonna be buggy as hell.
For any app/website you build, you have to host it on a server so that people can use it. Choosing no-code will skip this process for you. The no-code platform will host your app/website as soon as you finish building.
No code will save you money. Here is the __list of 100+ no-code tools __which are completely FREE.
Yes, they are all FREE. You can basically build your startup, and launch it for FREE
Building an app/website requires a team. You need UI Designer, Backend Developer, and Database developer. But with no code, you can just build the app on your own
Dragging and Dropping some boxes on a website is 100x more straightforward than writing your own code. No code is very easy compared to coding. It has a very shallow learning curve compared to coding
If the benefits above are not convincing to you, then you can learn to code and build an app yourself. I have been a web developer for 8+ years now, and I enjoy coding. I am endorsing no code over coding or vice versa.
I can build MVP(Minimum Viable Product) ….. in less than 7 days. But that’s because of all the experiences & lessons I learned along the way in those 8 years.
For any beginner to build an MVP with code, it will easily take a month or so(to make it bug-free)
But if you aspire to be a technical founder, you should learn to code. And if your goal is to launch a startup, learning to code is not necessary with all these no-code tools available.
