I believe that #NoCode tools should also be utilized by people who know how to code.

The speed of development is mind-blowing.

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

How do you think AI will effect no-code products?

I was amazed at the speed devs could build with no-code, now I’m amazed at how fast devs can produce code.

For those with a coding background I think AI vs no-code is an interesting dilema for choosing between these solutions.

I just published To code or no-code side projects? It's my first post on Medium; I would love to hear your thoughts! https://t.co/eebLS6j6Eg

I love the hidden joys of #NoCode tools.

We needed to switch our website to a new @webflow project. Turns out, switching domains brought our site down for a total of 3 seconds.

Best part? I didn't even have to change any DNS settings 🥳🥳🥳

@fullstory @Andrew_Vernon @bubble @hotjar Thanks, @fullstory, it was a very polite way of telling me I was wrong ;-)

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@Andrew_Vernon @bubble @hotjar @fullstory Technically yes, but they do everything they can do minimize the potential of slowing down your page speed: https://t.co/jq8CjMNyrK

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@Andrew_Vernon @bubble I've used @hotjar or @fullstory to screen record how users are using the app. It's been very helpful in instances like this!

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@_y0ungk Agreed with this. As a developer, I do my best to make sure that the third parties I use are fair with data, but it's not always easy/transparent.

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

Using @webflow templates feels like cheating. Just used the Newleaf template as a prototype. The speed + clean design was 🔥.

@poppacalypse How do people find your business?

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@samroseloui I like them for keeping client accounts separate. I always set them up manually. It's saved me a few times from working in the wrong AWS account for example.

3. Feel less anxious about missing things - it took about a week or so to get used to not having the ability to check something on my phone. But guess what, everything is still there when I get back to my computer

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

I did a strange thing that I like a lot. I removed all social media from my phone. Although it sounds counter-intuitive, it has allowed me to do a few main things:

2. Engage in social media more. Instead of mindlessly scrolling, I can spend time posting, replying, and engaging in this unique ecosystem

What's your favorite part of building with @bubble?

Mine might be a bit surprising, but not having to deal with bad builds/deployments is life-changing.

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@aanstootdesign Echoing a lot of people here. Record, ship, never watch or think about again.

I like the fact that the loom makes things human, so mistakes are just part of being human. That helps me feel better about myself :-)

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

As a founder, getting unsolicited positive feedback from customers is the best feeling.

When I got off a call with a customer, I got a text saying they liked the product before, but they didn't fully appreciate the amount of work we saved them! #founders #startups

[Todd Schmidt @toddschmidt_]

@Andrew_Vernon @bubble Thanks for sharing. I love that the functionality is simple for the user
