No-code stacks are close to my heart.
I spent the better part of six years deep in that world, building with Webflow, Memberstack, Airtable, Zapier (WAMP or WAMZ Stack), Wix or Softer and everything in between. I lived in custom attributes, IDs, and stitched-together logic, wiring systems that were never really meant to work together but somehow did. I made friends to these tools, attended many conferences, and did hundreds of workshops. This was the way.
I built a real business on top of it, a great livelihood building no code platforms and giving them powerups to support dashboards or portals. I dabbled with others like Bubble io, Flutterflow, ect. and sold about 20 projects there. But I sold hundreds in the WAMP sector. In 2023, I sold one of the largest no code portfolio and those service contracts had over 60% of builds were (on) or using the WAMP stack.
I even went as far as building my own integration platform, something like if Zapier and Airtable had a baby, designed specifically to support this way of building. It worked. It created leverage. It created SaaS income. It created real products for clients. Many clients from this build fund-raised hundreds of millions with WAMP (big companies).
WAMP has costs. The WAMP or WAMZ stack at the lowest cost (the bare minimum monthly tiers to keep running) is $209/m across all 4 tools. Or using our integration tool it was a saving of $49 (that’s it).
But in 2025, something broke.
The arrival of tools like Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, and Bolt didn’t just improve the workflow, they collapsed it. The cost and complexity of building real software dropped so dramatically that the entire premise of stitching together no-code tools started to feel unnecessary. Even if the current system is built this way, its faster to rebuild it with AI.
What used to take multiple platforms, subscriptions, and weeks of coordination can now be done in a single environment, often in hours. And more importantly, the output isn’t a website with logic layered on top. It’s actual software, with structure, flexibility, and ownership.
I can one-shot directories, billing dashboards, Assessments, Gated calculators, things that I once charged around $7-22K for inside Webflow, Framer or Wix.
This WAMP market is big. It’s about a quarter of the Wordpress Market (don’t get me started there) and I think most people are still underestimating how the last 16 months flat-lined it. I see numbers.
(Note. I am not generalizing all no-code platforms, just the ones that are using multiple tools together for dashboards, portals, ect.)
Even if you already have a no-code stack running today, the question isn’t whether it works. It’s whether it still makes sense to keep building this way.

Vibe Coding

A no-code veteran who spent six years building on the WAMP stack (Webflow, Airtable, Memberstack, Zapier) argues that AI coding tools like Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, and Bolt have effectively made multi-tool no-code stacks obsolete. Projects that once required weeks of coordination across multiple paid platforms can now be built in hours as actual software. The author, who sold hundreds of WAMP projects and built their own integration platform, contends that even existing no-code stacks should be questioned — not because they don't work, but because rebuilding with AI is now faster and produces more flexible, owned software at lower cost.
