🚫 No code app development is a trap. I fell into this trap and lost a lot of money.

💡 One day, I had an idea for an app but didn't know how to build mobile apps. I opted for a no code platform called FlutterFlow, which allows building iOS and Android apps without coding.

📊 I started building my app and was around 20-30% complete when I hit a roadblock. I wanted specific features that weren't available, and creating custom widgets didn't work.

🛑 After researching, I found others had similar issues. A Reddit post mentioned that FlutterFlow is a 90% completion product. Many users faced problems when trying to add custom widgets.

🔍 I hired a developer to help, but the code I downloaded from FlutterFlow was terrible. It was so bad that I had to hire another developer to rebuild it, which took two weeks.

⚠️ Similar issues were reported with another no code platform, Bubble, which has customization and scalability problems.

❓ You might wonder why this is a trap. The first reason is that most no code users lack coding experience, making it hard to recognize limitations until it's too late.

🔒 The second reason is that you can't build unique apps with these platforms. They often lead to generic applications or incomplete projects.

📉 No code platforms market themselves as comprehensive solutions, but they often fall short. They are suitable for creating a minimum viable product (MVP) quickly, but not for full production-ready apps.

🛠️ Developers agree that while no code tools can be useful for simple projects, they are inadequate for customization and scalability. It's better to hire an experienced developer for a quality app.

🔍 If you're considering no code development, do your research and understand that it will always be second best to traditional coding.
