How are no-code and low-code tools reshaping app development, and where do you see the biggest gap?

Question

I’m exploring how founders can bridge these gaps and opportunities the market offers today.

I am also interested i testing out 3 ideas with a technical co-founder. If you are familiar with low-code and want to create big impact please get in touch.

No-code and low-code tools are turning everyone into app developers faster than a toddler discovers the magic of crayons on walls. But the biggest gap? Real coding skills. Because, let’s face it, drag-and-drop won't save you when things go south.

A big fan of no-code tools here, especially in app development and gamification marketing. They’re a lifesaver when you’re short on time and money. But, they do have some drawbacks tho, like it can be tough to customize them (trust me I got a hell lot of this inquiry) and they can be complex to integrate. I’m also launching a non-code product soon, so check it out here, hope this helps: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

No-code and low-code, I believe, would be the undoubt trend, as languages and tools tend to simplify over time to find the most efficient means of expression and functionality. And gaps for sure, because computer languages have not even existed for a century:)

Answer

None other than Bubble.io Cristina ! I was in New York last month for the Bubble conference, and the number of people attending was incredible to see. I do no-code development with Bubble, and under the age of 25, I've made half a million dollars, running an agency through Dubai and the USA with over 20 employees.

Answer

Love the speed of no code, but integration with legacy systems is tricky. That's where I see the biggest gap.

Answer

For founders like me,  it’s awesome to validate ideas fast. The challenge is that advanced features often need coding to know how.

Answer

Low code has helped my tea, a lot, but handling data security is still a big hurdle.

Cristina Imre · Answer

@khang_bui_marvy Thanks. I am also studying this very closely since you can test a couple of ideas out with low entry point. Now, as far as I know Bubble can create more advanced apps and platforms and you can grow with it for a longer time until you are good in revenue. It seems to me as a logical route in today's world, to create a functional MVP, then beta and a working product with tools like Bubble and if the traction gets very high (meaning success, so good news) you can then think of transitioning and just redo it for bigger usage. My question is at this stage. Do you see any dangers or issue at this stage? How would you approach the journey?

Best wishes with your upcoming launch! Looks good. Can I ask the tools you used?

Klaudia Guzij · Answer

I've used a combination of Replit + Claude and it has been a great experience, you should check it out!

Cristina Imre · Answer

@thestarkster I agree but the new toys have some great utilities as you said. When would be the best time to transition from low-code to coding your own platform? Is there a predictable moment or sugestion?

No-code and low-code tools have really democratized app development. They allow founders, especially those without a tech background, to build MVPs and iterate fast. This is a game-changer for early-stage startups because it reduces time-to-market and development costs significantly. However, a big gap remains in customization and scalability—no-code platforms often limit control over complex workflows, integrations, and user experience. In my experience, founders using these tools often need tailored development as they scale. That’s where a service like JetSoftPro’s can bridge the gap, providing custom software solutions when no-code tools hit their limits. Here is a great article about it: https://jetsoftpro.com/blog/will...
