The term no-code has always kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Why would you define your product based on what it is not, instead of what it actually is?

Toddle is not a no-code tool but a visual programming platform aimed at professional developers, focusing on flexibility, performance, and scalability. Unlike no-code tools that abstract coding to make it easy for beginners, toddle is designed for those who spend substantial time building software and aims to be the best tool for developing high-quality web applications. The platform offers a steeper learning curve but promises a more powerful development experience.

No more no-code

Great read 👏
This quote is super nice:
“A platform that lets complete beginners build a beautiful business app in a single day, can’t also be an effective tool for professional developers.”

The interface for using APIs is amazing and really user friendly. Awesome tool!

Okay okay okay, can toddle can make it self?

On the FlutterFlow quote - “Our goal is to help people build great products and we do that by providing an intuitive and efficient interface. Writing less code is a byproduct of the goal, not the goal itself.” - doesn’t this not necessarily apply for what some “no-code” companies are doing?
For some of these companies their distinct goal may actually be to have users write less code, and may be distinctly designed for users with non-technical backgrounds.
I agree that there’s a difference between a tool that works for technical and non-technical users, but I think you’re disregarding tools that are built specifically for the non-technical audience.
