No-Code Communities

Audio Link: Communities 


Looking for other no-code fans? Want some help learning how to use no-code? Just want to have somebody else to run a few ideas past? In case you're not already aware of them, there are a number of no-code communities for those of us who are working on a no-code app (or thinking about working on one) and could use some support:

  • No Code Founders - With over 5,000 members, I believe this is the largest group of its kind. NCF members can:
    • Complete certification courses.
    • Get discounts from various no-code providers.
    • Ask for help from the community for any problem you're having with a no-code app project.
    • Take part in monthly meetings where you get the opportunity to meet to staff members from no-code platforms like Airtable and Bubble.
    • Talk with other no-coders about the apps they've built and how they did it.
    • Check on job openings at no-code companies.
  • 100 Days of No-Code - In March of 2020 Max Haining challenged himself to spend at least 30 minutes a day for 100 days learning to use no-code. Now his project has spawned an entire community, with the only requirement is to make the same commitment Max did. Members can:
    • Find useful learning resources.
    • Share daily progress reports on their projects with the community.
    • Take part in weekly sessions where they can get feedback and advice about their no-code project.
    • Get personalized support including 1-on-1 sessions with a mentor.
    • Read about upcoming events and other no-code news in the weekly newsletter. 
  • Launch MBA - If you're looking for help in figuring out how to monetize your no-code app projects, take a look at this website. Launch MBA's goal is to help you create multiple no-code businesses. To accomplish that members are given a multi-step plan:
    • Over a 12 month period you'll launch 12 online products that slowly increase in size and complexity and have the potential to become paying businesses. You will be given a calendar with proposed launch dates and suggestions as to the type of product to create.
    • You'll build up to a full software-as-a-service (SAAS) product, social network, or marketplace app, which can be either a web-based or a native mobile app.
    • The community will provide continuous advice, feedback and encouragement over the 12 months.
    • The plan also includes biweekly AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions with successful app makers. 
Note: Launch MBA is an "invite-only" site and membership costs $33 per month monthly, payable quarterly.

  •  No Code Devs - With members in over 50 countries NCD provides a global perspective to no-code development. Members get:
    • Personalized feedback on their no-code projects.
    • Exposure to key skills for building no-code projects.
    • Access to job opportunities.
