The space is huge and it can be overwhelming but a strategy that I'd like to advise is specialisation.
Here's a thread on different specialisations within the No Code ecosystem 🧵
Platform specialisation
Some platforms such as Bubble or Webflow are emerging as dominant players within the field. As such, more and more people are looking for developers with those specific skill sets. Deep domain knowledge in a particular platform can be fruitful.
Industry specialisation
A platform is nothing without being used for real-world use case. Can you leverage your background in a particular industry(s) to use No Code for companies in that industry.
Example: No Code for LawTech, FinTech, ClimateTech etc
Skill specialisation
There are different types of No Code Developers. Some have a strong emphasis on design, while others excel in database architecture. Finding a speciality that aligns with you can help you define a name for yourself.
For example: No Code Ops
Vertical specialisation
Aside from platform and industry No Code has different technology verticals. This includes augmented reality, gaming, native applications, artificial intelligence. Standing out in a particular vertical is a viable way to develop domain expertise!
Regional specialisation
The No Code community is Global. Can you be known as the go-to No Code person in your country or region? Where are my Arabic speaking No Code experts? Chinese focused No Code experts?
Client size specialisation
Many No Code developers are freelancing or starting agencies. Is there a specific client size you want to focus on? Startups? Scale ups? Maybe large enterprises?

A little known fact about me is that I was an architecture student.
In the field I was a VDC Engineer so focused on applying emerging technologies to the architecture and construction industry.
A short thread on conceptual architecture image generation from a sketch using SD1.5
An amazing building often begins as a sketch and using architectural precedents and research to inform future design.
I started with a sketch I did from my first year of architecture school. This is relatively high fidelity but typically you may start with a napkin sketch.
I then used stable diffusion 1.5, a deep learning, text-to-image model and provided it a prompt: "A futurist solar building"
There's an art to prompt engineering but we kept it simple.
Some believe that No Code is all hype so here are mainstream platforms that have launched or acquired No Code & Low Code tools
A thread 🧵
Salesforce
Lightning Flow by Salesforce allows 150000+ companies develop process driven applications by connecting workflows with third party applications.
Apple
Apple's little known enterprise development subsidiary, Claris, developed Claris Connect to helps users to build new custom apps through integration with services such as Trello, Slack, DocuSign and Box, among others, without writing any code.
How to develop your first No Code AI application (summarization app) without coding using GPT-3 and @AdaloHQ
My no nonsense guide in a thread 🧵
First thing we're going to do is create a free @OpenAI account and make a note of our API keys.
Next you're going to need to do is create a free account with @AdaloHQ. It's a visual development tool that allows you to create native apps and progressive web applications.
