Founder's Guide To No-Code on how to build products without needing a technical co-founder.

😻
Founders' Book is built completely using no-code tools. If I can do it, you can do better!

It's important to do everything you can to increase the odds of your success. One way that I've found to guarantee success for any new software product is to start with a no-code MVP.

🧰
A minimum viable product or MVP is a version of your product, the first version or initial version that allows you to test the most important features with the least amount of work.

So basically, it goes like this;

You have a great idea. And now you ask, What should I do next?

In old days, you'd record all of those ideas, hand those over to a development team who would then spend a year or two to create your product, and then give it back to you and it may or may not work. One of the problems with this approach is that your priorities that change over time, that's a big, awesome feature that you're so passionate about, in the beginning, may not be that valuable once you actually get the final solution and another problem with this approach is that it's so expensive, you have to invest a ton of money upfront to pay all these developers and then you also have to invest all of your time.

“ We're talking about months and months of meetings and works for us to try and finish this product.” But those two compare things to the biggest problem and that is that you have no idea if this product is actually going to be a success.

It is like you essentially are going into a casino throwing down 10s of 1000s of dollars, if not hundreds of 1000s of dollars and placing a bet will others like the products will it make you any money you don't know? Well, I'm here to say don't do that start with an MVP, and MVP is the most basic form of your product.

There are two criteria that I have for this it needs to be useful and unique. To help determine what should be in your MVP. You can ask a question like this,

what is the one thing that your app must do and what makes your product different and more useful than other solutions that are already out there? With this very focused version of your app, you can quickly test the hypothesis of what other people are looking for and quickly pivot based on their feedback. But the most powerful part of starting with an MVP is that you are guaranteeing yourself success by investing a small amount of time and money upfront to validate your idea. You're creating for yourself a win-win scenario. You see if your MVP flops and nobody uses it. Well, then you can learn from that experience and take all the money that you saved and invest that into another project. That is a win. And if your MVP is a hit, then you can invest more into the project with confidence, knowing that you're making a smart financial decision. That's another winner.

So starting with an MVP guarantees your success and creates this win-win scenario. But having gotten to the best part, you can now create your MVP faster than ever with no code. No code platforms allow you to launch your product without ever having to touch the code. This is a beautiful thing because it's doing two things. One is removing the barrier to entry so anyone can go to these new platforms and build and launch their own product all on their own to its making it faster than ever to launch these products. I regularly leverage these no-code tools to launch MVP.

How no-code can help you in building your MVP?

Have you ever had an idea or a feature in mind, and wanted to create an MVP to gather user feedback, and then show your team and investors its potential. But you couldn't because of challenges like;

  • Budgets are tight
  • Limited Resources
  • Developer not free

By using No-Code to build MVPs, you can solve these challenges as it is not only fast and easy but also now you are able to get immediate feedback on your hypothesis and get a better understanding of customers and the product-market fit at a minimum cost. But How?

  • No dependency on developers With No-Code tools you will be able to build applications simply by dragging and dropping software components and bringing MVPs to life. You won’t need to be dependent on the technical teams to build or develop the MVP.
  • Hypothesis testing By doing hypothesis testing, you can experiment and get immediate feedback. Validate your assumptions and quickly discover whether the solution is helping to solve the customer's problem.
  • Launch MVPs Faster MVPs can be launched in a week instead of taking 4 to 6 months with minimal features. These reduce the risk of building everything, feedback can be gotten more quickly. Once the feedback is received, actions can be taken.
  • Complete Control over MVP You have complete control over the MVP as there is no dependency. You can learn more about your customers and analyze if the problems are getting resolved using the MVP.
  • Learn about your Customer The idea is to understand the market and whether there is a need for such a product. You learn more about end-users. You know what they want, how they use these products and how to improve the concept.
  • Saves Time Save a lot of time by not having to write complex lines of code for a pilot MVP of your product/service.

💡
No-code is a way of both building on the internet and automating processes, without writing lines of code. Simply, dragging and dropping widget-like components and tying them together using to move data between components or external apps

Garry Tan's interview with Michael skelly of Stacker

With Stacker, you can build custom tools, internal tools, custom CRM or partner apps.

If you are entering the no-code space today, it can be extremely overwhelming with tools and platforms adding to the list every day. Today, there are many tools that look similar, offering similar services addressing the same problem and audience. This can be discouraging to new founders and turn them away from no-code.
