“Why don’t you come up with an idea for a no-code app?”
That was Andrew’s pitch to me for an upcoming blog post. I shifted my feet and wiped sweat off my palms beneath the video camera.
“Um, what?”
“We ask our founders to start with a prototype all the time. I think you should do that.”
In my head I was going, yeah, but I’m not a programmer like the rest of the team. I mean, c’mon, I don’t even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Except that there is a difference, maybe.
I imagined building prototypes was, you know, a coder thing.
You’re probably thinking, “Uh, that’s the whole idea behind no-code tools.” And you’re right.
But I didn’t believe it yet—not really.
Here’s the story of what happened next. Of me saying yes and building a no-code prototype as someone who knows zero code:
In it, I cover a variety of topics from a truly non-technical perspective. Things like:
- The worst and best ways to find your idea
- How to figure out what type of app you need
- What no-code tools are at your disposal
- Which ones are free
- Which ones are easiest to use
- Why Jürgen Klopp is the best Premier League coach (kidding, kind of)
- And what you need to know to make your journey easier
Other founders on Twitter are calling it the “top write-up on doing a no-code startup project” and “an incredibly great look at the current world of no-code.”

And see if you can’t start working on that idea you’ve been mulling over. Because as I found out, not knowing code is no excuse.
