    Hello to all.

    I find myself looking for a way to increase productivity with the aid of an all purpose no-code web builder application for Linux. What I am looking for is something that is more suited for a small to medium business. In my research I found “https://zapier.com/blog/best-no-code-app-builder/#softr”,
    which presents 8 candidates. They all seem to be good, but a feed back from an actual developer would be like gold to me.

    I can't read that page (hint: for unknown pages, I disable javascript
    execution in the browser).

    So -- no code, indeed :-)

    Cheers

    Having vision and perception issues I also disable javascript when browsing.

    I wonder if the post itself is legitimate.
    The signature refers to an organization claiming to be:
    composed of students and volunteers dedicated to providing
    free services to charitable organizations.
    A DuckDuckGo search yields a plethora of irrelevant hits.
    Adding permutations of "charitable"/"volunteer"/"student" to the search
    string is not productive. STRANGE as the signature indicates the organization's name is trade marked!

    What is a web builder appplication and what does it do?


    It's for making web applications without having to dirty one's hands
    with actual code, particularly HTML and CSS. There are frameworks for
    making huge enterprise applications, such as Cake and Laravel, but they
    tend to have learning curves of their own, particularly the latter, and
    still require considerable coding.

    But even if you just ask an AI to make code for you, there's no
    avoiding actually knowing what you want to achieve *in* *detail*. You
    do, for example, need at least a rudimentary knowledge of SQL to design appropriate database queries, and for business purpose, how tax works
    in your country. You effectively have to write some sort of code to
    instruct the AI. Ordinary English is not really precise enough.

    The OP may just mean web authoring applications, which make web pages
    that don't need to do much. They have been around for Windows for
    decades and produce huge HTML files. You've all had spam emails with
    100kB of useless markup and about three lines of text. I don't think
    there's a good free one for Linux, as Linux users tend to be capable of
    hacking HTML.

    Along similar lines, I remember this being announced:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software)

    Spoiler: it wasn't.
