DreamLabs

So you built an app? Building something is easy. Building something users want is hard. Very, very hard. But there is a method to the madness. Y Combinator said it best : "Ship code. Talk to users." As a #nocode expert team, we at DreamLabs help founders every day with both tenets of the YC method. We've created a process on how, exactly, to talk to users after your first product launch, complete with a clonable Notion template. Feel free to take a look and run with it if any aspect is helpful! 🎁 https://lnkd.in/d3v6A3fr

🤔 Can #nocode handle users at scale? 🤔 Can I raise capital on a #nocode product? 🤔 Is #nocode stable? Brilliant insights shared from Matt Graham that answers these questions. The short answer : Yes. A resounding yes.

#nocode suffers from a branding problem. ❌ Developers think it’s lacking any real power. ❌ Founders think it’s an alternative to development. ✅ A more accurate term would be : abstracted development. 🖥️ Or perhaps : the GUI of programming. As a historical note, computers used to only operate on command-line interfaces. Then, in 1983 the GUI (graphical user interface) concept in Apple’s Lisa revolutionized personal computing by introducing the concept of a "desktop." Instead of writing lines of commands to, say, access a file, you could use the visual metaphor of a desktop to point and click your way to it. This is exactly what #nocode is. A visual abstraction of software development. Not a replacement. Not an alternative. It's the next evolution to make the craft of building tech better, faster and more accessible. 👑 Apple lead the previous wave to become the world's most valuable company. 👑 Which of today's leading nocode players will be the king of tomorrow? We're betting on the entire cohort including : FlutterFlow Bubble Airtable Xano Make Zapier

Here’s a simple framework for #nocode agencies + freelancers to find clients. ⚡️ In our private community we’ve had deep-dive discussions on these channels, learning from each other how to tap different channels with the best practices of each. 📮 We’ll be sharing more about the community soon, but send me a dm if you can’t wait and want to join a cohort of other leaders now.

Let's talk about the hype cycle. #AI soared to a peak, and has dipped into the trough of disillusionment. 🎢💡 The #AI hype is arguably the most significant tech revolution of our age. #Nocode is the key to bringing it through the “Slope of Enlightenment.” For example, last week, OpenAI announced fine-tuning for GPT3.5. For the small number of people who know how to work with vector databases, that’s great. Also last week, Fine-Tuner announced integrations with Notion and Airtable. For the much larger number of people who know how to work with these tools, this is awesome. And, every day, we’re seeing new launches that put power in the hands of builders! We work every day with team leveraging AI with no-code, so reach out if you want to chat about usage for your team 🙌🏽
