Pumped up to join @beondeck No-Code fellowship cohort 2! #ODNC2

Excited to build in public with a fantastic group of people, to learn, and to help.

Thanks @thisiskp_ @JanelSGM

@davidfowl Works great with WSL. And helps keep similar vibe when using on Mac and Linux.

@PhilipLakin A collection

@kyleporter Broader scope but @eWhispers is one place.

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@ojabowalola @NotionHQ @obsdmd I’d say they are similar. Obsidian has a great free option for personal use or inexpensive commercial option. You can host your data on your own devices and do syncing through iCloud Drive or pay Obsidian for their sync service.

@LinxCode Looks fun. Here's how we do it in PMG Platform! #lowcode

@cleverdevil @keithjgrant Did you find your Denon? Got a teenager rooting for 7.2...

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@edmundamoye Yes. I imagine it’s a different segment of users that would use Baserow instead of Airtable.
Lots of growing room for both companies.

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@fannin_seth Depends on your definition of database.

Just like there’s code behind nocode web/app builders, there are databases behind nocode databases.

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@JuliusBryant I do the same! It’s slightly annoying…

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@ballmatthew Can’t wait to listen!

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@gamingfordev I’m sure it’ll go great and you won’t even notice when morning arrives! ;)

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@nickverhaege Adalo + Xano
Bubble + Xano
Carrd + Outseta + Airtable

Or want more open source, swap Supabase for Xano, Baserow for Airtable
For exportable code, Adalo for Draftbit

Kyleigh’s build in public thread ⬇️ is so cool. It’s like being hooked on a weekly tv series. I can’t wait to find out what happens next week and in 3 months. What will we learn!!? Let’s build some habits!

Here's a breakdown of the current #'s for the Harold product growth funnel:

Seems like the biggest leverage points are:

1) Increasing top of funnel/awareness through marketing (I think my best bets are SEO and engineering as marketing)
2) Increasing Paid Conversion Rate

@BrianFOConnor F500 compared to startups, how often do you see strategy being iterated on, anything less than yearly?

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@akantjas @louiemonteagudo @itswesty May be limited on purpose to drive users to their paid offerings, like Sales Navigator.

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@nocodechris @bubble I've heard this for a while now, and I don't think it really matters, at least for the mature platforms. They aren't going anywhere, and if they totally mess up, plenty of buyers happy to get them at a discount and then it might get interesting...

[Ben Alexander @BenPMG]

@MichaelJNovotny @gamingfordev is!

@kevinyien I found cross country flights good for this! Without those, trying to schedule better in morning instead of doing late at night.
