Deep dives
The Origin of Low-Code Development
The development of low-code platforms originated from a personal experience with internal software issues faced by businesses. The co-founders recognized a common struggle among companies in effectively building software solutions to address specific operational challenges. This led to the creation of a product designed for 'citizen developers,' or tech-savvy business users who could create their applications without extensive coding knowledge. This realization highlighted that many employees want to solve business problems but often face gatekeeping from IT departments overwhelmed with other priorities.
