Amazon just announced a new #nocode/#lowcode tool at re:Invent conference.
It’s called AWS Amplify Studio.
In their own words, it is: “a visual development environment that offers frontend developers new features to accelerate UI development with minimal coding”
And this will totally blow your mind. 👇
The tool accepts a #Figma file and converts it into #React components library that you can then pull into your app.
So, not a no-code tool and definitely not for beginners.
But they are clearly bullish on the low-code/no-code approach to development.
They are positioning it as a “happy medium” between drag-n-drop development and the ability to customize.
“The tool significantly reduces the amount of manual development work involved in building an application interface. At the same time, however, Amplify Studio also enables developers to extensively customize the code of the user interfaces they create.”
Excuse me while I go try this out.

1/ I have been meaning to build a Slack bot for a while and have done several proofs-of-concept in the bast. But every single time I have failed to actually ship it just because it requires a managed back-end and that just adds too much effort for a simple side-project at work.
2/ 📚 Introducing — The Dictionary Bot
The idea is simple. Look up a list of acronyms and return what it stands for. For example
I built this app in less than 60 minutes with #nocode.
A lot of my conversations on LinkedIn were resulting in “let’s do a zoom call”. Calendly links were shared but I didn’t have a good system to track them. So I decided to fix that.
I could have created a spreadsheet.
Right?
Boring! 😐
Why not create an app in the same amount of time?
Here are the features it supports: 👇
→ Sign in with an email
→ Sign in with Google
→ Add new contact (+ Calendly link)
→ View/Edit/Delete contacts
→ Filter contacts by status (Scheduled/Met)
→ Search for contacts
→ Works on mobile and web
