There's a lot of buzz going around the web dev world regarding Nocode, but a ton of these do the same thing and kind of miss the point of why they ...

Great list, thanks for sharing AppSmith, I was not aware of it.
Also, MailforGood is also great, and we are thinking about integrating it into our system and avoid expensive services like Mailchimp. Not sure about the mail deliverability rate, maybe that is related to domain health, or that is just the price we pay for good email delivery.
NoCodeAPI is solid, I am following it as well for a while. I think some UX could be even more simplified for "no-code" users.
Descript is no words .. Great tool.
BannerBear seems good, I saw it a long time ago. I think you can achieve a similar result using one Figma plugin + Zapier.
By the way, I am working on a powerful no-code web Automation tool automatio.co, which gives you the ability to build complex web bots or scrapers in minutes. We are in private Alpha, but I believe if it is publicly available, that it would deserve to be on this list.
Great article Fayaz, these are some great tools
Really good to see some other no code contenders coming out! I've recently been working with outsystems, but seeing an open source and currently free alternative is great!
Yes, the reason Appsmith is open source is because we believe that builder platforms should be extendable and not have vendor lock-ins.
Since you've been working with Outsystems, would love to hear your experience and what you love about that tool.
Whilst the platform itself as you may know works pretty well for development I found the tertiary tools in the ecosystem the most powerful parts. The logging capabilities, page analytics and such along with the environment deployment lifecycle is really impressive.
It has its pitfalls, and as you have pointed out the vendor lock can be a problem for some users. It's definitely a great product and I really do wish appsmith well on this journey we need more valid competition to these big Gartner quad guys.
do I see it right? You have been developing appsmith witjin only 6 months? that is impressive.
I would wish that in the inputs areas for properties could resize, even with a simple
myAPI.data.map(row=>({...}))it gets cumbled together. However I am impressed by the autocomplete: that even worked for the dynamically loaded data with nested objects.Thank you for your kind words. We've been working on Appsmith for 18 months now. The project was open-sourced 6 months ago.
I understand that writing code in a small text area is very cumbersome. We are working on a larger code editor which will make writing code much easier. You can track the progress of this issue at github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/is...
What are outsystems?
outsystems.com/
Low code development platform. A huge ecosystem, I'm working with an integrator who are building a banking front end system with it based on an overall bank architecture I've designed.
A very cool tool, like ms access on steroids really. The future definitely is low code, the speed you can churn through work in a standard way makes cutting your own code a non competition.
Awesome list, thanks for sharing!
In case you're interested, I've put up some web development resources on devresourc.es, and I'll make sure to add a "no-code" section there too.
Feel free to check it out!
This is a great compilation @fayaz . Definitely bookmarking this thread for later. Also, thanks for including Appsmith (Disclaimer: I'm one of the maintainers).
The reason we started this project is that, as a developer, I needed a customizable Django Admin panel. I don't understand CSS very well. Hence, Appsmith is a framework to edit UI code visually & functional code textually.
I think the move towards more managed/no-code tools is inevitable in all industries. Descript is a great example of this happening in the video editing world. As abstraction levels increase, barriers to entry crumble. This creates greater value for everyone involved.
Glad you liked it.
Great one, nice new tools to learn
Give Nodezap a try. it can be used to create Admin Panels. It has variety of charts and widgets to choose from. You can write your own CRUD logic to manipulate data. It will also let you fetch data from the external resources using REST api.
Extensive list here with lots of new names for me. Thanks for sharing. Also, do check out DronaHQ (dronahq.com)

You should check out Retool: retool.com
I've tried a number of these tools, and Retool is by far the most mature and capable of the bunch. The only tick against it compared to some of these other tools is that it's not free, so as an individual user one of these other tools might be better, but if you're looking into this sort of thing for your job you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't check it out.
Builder.io is a great option here too - used by devs and non devs in large production sites
Brilliant! Aggregations.
Awesome! Very usefull! Thanks for sharing
Thanks some tools worth looking into on this list. Nice to see a list that doesn’t just make Web sites :)
Very cool! Some fun tools here.
This is good news in early 2021!
Does appsmith support firebase firestore?
Hey,
Assuming that Arpit Mohan is a contributor and created this issue, I will say "yes".
Yes Appsmith supports Firestore. We don't have documentation for it yet, but the integration is being used by a lot of users. Please email me on arpit@appsmith if you need help with using it.
Our list of supported datasources are: DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, Firestore, MongoDB, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Postgres, Redis & REST APIs.
Looks like Mail for Good might be abandoned; last commit was over a year ago. Great idea, though. Know of any good alternatives?
sendy.co
To bad that Descript only works on Windows and Mac. I wish to install it on my Linux 😢
Do check out canonic.dev too!
It's focused on making API development easier and faster.
great tools ty
Great list! Will definitely be lookinv at DeScript + Super
Great list. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for these amazing tools.
Descript - is exceptionally awesome.
