[Day 25] I tried gathering information on no-code tools
Yesterday, I wrote about how I reorganized my plans for the future.
Today, I started gathering information on no-code tools in earnest.
The plan I made yesterday is already being put into action.
There are so many no-code tools out there.
When I looked into it, I found that there are an incredible number of no-code tools.
Main no-code tools:
Glide
Adalo
Bubble
AppSheet
FlutterFlow
Softr
Just looking at the names, I have no idea what they are 😂
I tried looking up the features of each one.
I watched explanation videos on YouTube and read blog posts to research the features of each.
Glide
・Can create apps based on Google Sheets ・Relatively easy ・Lots of information available in Japanese ・Free plan available
Pros: Seems easy to use even for beginners
Cons: Complex features might be difficult
Bubble
・The most famous no-code tool ・Can build complex apps ・Rich in features ・Has a free plan
Pros: Can build full-scale apps
Cons: High learning curve, lots of information in English
Adalo
・For smartphone apps ・Beautiful design ・Has a free plan
Pros: Can build apps with a great look
Cons: Little information available in Japanese
AppSheet
・Provided by Google ・Spreadsheet-based ・Has a free plan
Pros: Can be used immediately if you have a Google account
Cons: Low design flexibility
Struggling with which one to choose
The more I research, the more I don't know which one to choose😂
Each has its own pros and cons,
and there is no "this is definitely the right answer!"
For now, I decided to start with Glide
There's no point in worrying about it.
So, I made a decision.
For now, I'll start with Glide.
The reason is,
✅ Said to be for beginners
✅ Lots of information in Japanese
✅ Can use Google Sheets
✅ Has a free plan
First, try it out with Glide, and if you think, "This won't work,"
then you can consider other tools.
First, just give it a try.
What I learned from gathering information
Today, I gathered information and learned something.
No-code tools don't require programming, but they don't mean you don't need to study.
You need to learn how to use the tools. You need to understand the concept of databases.
However,
the hurdle is lower than programming.
Even someone like me who is bad with machines might be able to do it.
That's what I felt.
Tomorrow, I'll watch some videos
I'm done with gathering information for now.
Tomorrow, I will watch Glide tutorial videos on YouTube.
When I searched for "Glide how to use for beginners," several easy-to-understand videos came up.
First, I'll watch the videos to get an idea of what can be done.
From there, I'll think about how to create the "Hair Medication Notebook."
Without rushing, but without giving up,
one step at a time.
Tomorrow, I will watch an explanatory video on Glide.
Thank you for reading until the end today as well.
