Have you ever taken low code further past the prototyping phase? How do you think about Low Code tools/platforms for internal-facing app development?

Yes, I recently took on a client to test out the hypothesis of a monetisation option for Project DUST to morph it into an impact-driven startup. Which my students were able to get hands-on experience & get paid for in a simple website project using Webflow.

I personally believe for internal-facing app development, it will be useful in terms of prototyping phase and using it due to lack of budget/resource constraints to cater to developers to work on it.

As a lot of developers I had talked to, most of them are against using Low Code or No Code platforms for actual use cases. Unless you had a straight forward workflow, you do not mind the vendor lock-in, looking to get the job done with without the steep learning curve of a developer and additional time needed for further customisation/support of the app by an actual developer. When you plan to scale or perform an upgrade to it.
