No code platforms have revolutionized the way software is built, allowing for rapid prototyping and development without the need for extensive coding knowledge. These platforms, like Webflow and others, enable users to create both front-end and back-end functionality in a streamlined and efficient way. With no code, entrepreneurs and business owners can quickly build proof of concept models, such as job boards or marketplaces, saving time and money in the process.
