The Problem with No/Low Code Tools

Key Takeaways

stories like these pop up quite often if you visit the subreddits of any of these low to no code tools and that's because there's an inherent platform risk when you decide to host projects with these services so while you love the low no cold visual approach to building interactive and animated websites like you might see like sight of the day Award winners if you want to host those projects you want to make them a reality that people can actually see you're locked into their pricing model which can change at any point in time now some might say that's fine because I personally don't want to have to deal with dead Bops and server management and all that crap anyways but what happens when these Services arbitrarily raise prices or make some sort of change that results in the scenarios that I pointed out at the beginning of the video it's either you need to code from scratch and enjoy the benefits of Hosting wherever you want you can use these visual Builders to make the development experience great but then you're locked into the hosting yes you can can export the code with these services but the code is often times incomplete without assets and there's a ton of development work in order to get these projects to work when you export the code so what are we left with is there an alternative solution well in my research the closest thing that I was able to find that has the potential to fix all those issues and address those issues is a tool code web Studio it's a visual Builder that is open source which is really freaking cool and IT addresses some of those main issues that I'm talking about now the problem is they currently lack an animation system a proper component system and they have no built-in CMS support now I spoke with the founder oeg on Discord this morning and they have big plans going forward to integrate features that I expect in a low code tool such as a robust interactive animation system a solid component system and more so I'm curious what are your thoughts let me know in the comments have any of you been burned by the pricing models of some of these tools do you know of any potential upand comers that might be Alternatives that address these issues let me know in the comments and I will see you all very soon goodbye
