I’m very passionate about the no-code space. Before joining IBM I co-founded Appery.io, a visual low-code platform for building mobile applications.

I truly believe in the promise of no-code:

• Make software development faster and easier
• Democratizing software development

Perhaps a more general version of these two points can be:

• Make building solutions with (no-code) software faster and easier
• Make it possible for everybody to build solutions

I encourage you to read the first link below: What is no-code? which covers these two points in more detail.

A lot of the content I published this year is using Parabola. Parabola is a no-code visual platform where you build a flow or automation by connecting small step together (as shown in the image above). It reminds of a Serverless where you build an application connecting small functions together. And with Parabola you do it in a similar fashion but in a visual way. In fact, many examples below take an application built with code and then rebuild the app with no-code using Parabola.

I’m going to try this. Take a sample app or a tutorial built with code and rebuild with #NoCode 🛠 🧰
