Hey, what’s up?
Last week I promised to share with you the list of my favorite Nocode apps if you give a like for my newsletter. You didn't :(
Probably you haven't read that article about Nocode, or just haven't felt excited with this approach yet, so I'll give you some tasty Nocode tools to try right away. Give me a favor, like, and share this newsletter if you want me to continue sharing not only new but also my favorite lists of tools.
For dessert you'll get a few weekly best articles, video, and playlists.
NoCode best:
Nocoders made their own Nocode Youtube. There you can find any tutorials on how to build literally anything using just tools. This one, for example, explains how to make a job board web app with Airtable, Zapier, and Webflow.
One of the most loved tools by digital folks is the Notion. Super gives you the ability to convert any Notion doc to the website with a custom domain, fonts, and analytics.
The king of all Nocode tools is Bubble. Imagine this - you can build it on Bubble, at least MVP. It is as powerful as your own full-stack team of 5. One of the projects made on Bubble has already raised more than $325MM. So what are you still waiting for?
The younger brother of Bubble is Webflow. You can develop any complex website and integrate with any 3rd-party apps as easy as building with lego blocks. We made the whole 'Make it in Ukraine' project on Webflow and we are 100% satisfied with this solution. Try it!
Even Nocode is too complicated for you? Here you can buy ready-to-use platforms like Airbnb, Kickstarter, and Uber Eats for 100-300 dollars. Does the cost of MVP stop you from launching a startup? :)
While almost anything can be connected with Zapier, Integromat, and Parabola, sometimes you need to connect services through custom API requests. Setting up your own server for an API may be challenging for nocoders, fortunately, we have NoCodeAPI for such cases. Connect them all.
Meet Directual – Low-code back-end tool. Sorry, what? Yes, you're right, cloud database, API builder, role-based access control, real-time scenarios, and integrations are affordable for everyone now.
Still don’t believe that the code era is coming to the end? Check the latest video from Open.AI:
If you are Nocode adept or just interested in this emerging trend, feel free to reach out to me through Facebook or Instagram.
Research of the week:
100 snackable trends of 2020 in 10 big industries from Culture and Tech to Health and Finance. World changed. Gen Zs are not kids anymore. Ethics is the new aesthetic. I highly recommend for everyone who wants to be on the forefront of the world's transitions.
Best articles of the week:
I still believe that (copy)writing is the most powerful skill you can develop and you should constantly develop. This newsletter mostly is about me trying to write in English for your pleasure. To practice a skill I'm using for my products, ads, and sales. If I am able to write in English at least 50% of how I can write in Russian, I'd be the happiest person. But there is a long road still in front of me. Want to start writing or improve your writing skills? Check this brilliant article from Julian.
Another great article from Julian Shapiro. In this masterpiece about growth marketing, he very clearly explains what is it, how to approach, where is the difference between traditional and growth marketing, and which acquisition channels to choose for different types of B2C & B2B businesses. Must read for startup founders, marketers, and everyone who works with digital products.
Just a few weeks ago we had an argument over here at Laconeat HQ over whether you'll be able to feel tastes via your mobile screen. 5 years, 15 years? Imagine how surprised I was when last week, my friend sent this article. Obviously it is too far away from mass-market production, but it is already here. Wow!
I'll put one no-nocode(😄) service and one video in the articles section and hope you will not notice this
How much time and money to create 50 motion videos from a regular photo? A couple of bucks and literally two minutes. New Offeo's feature 'Smart create' blows my mind and will blow yours. Check it out!
True AI development is the field you can make mistake just once. Scientists are still arguing is there any threats from AI in the next 5 or 50 years, but we need to ask the right questions now and try to find the answers, which help us to build a brighter future, not the digital concentration camp managed by very efficient algorithms.
Now it's time to have some fun :)
Draw any line and this service will find exactly the same line on Google maps satellite photos.
Waiting for traditional useless AI applications? Today I have 40 for you, including AI painting, business idea creation and even producing scientific papers about AI. All of them collected by volunteers on this page.
Do you remember how we were discussing different COVID-related stuff in this newsletter? I almost forget about this. Probably you have seen these memes, that nature has cleaned up, that... So that's true! 😄
For the first time in history, you can see Everest mountain right from Katmandu, Nepal! At least at this photo:
Best playlists from this week:
I became a big fan of poolside.fm, was listening to them for the whole week. Try if you missed them last time.
A couple of best Soundcloud sets:
That’s all for today. Like, share, give me your feedback, and have a nice weekend!
