With our No-Code Fellowship right around the corner, we thought it would make sense to spotlight some of the incredible community members leveraging no-code tools to change the world.1
1. Shareables
Shareables (shareables.ai) lets you turn your Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion data into embeddable widgets and micro-sites. If you've ever tried to keep a directory or resource list updated through a website CMS like Webflow, you know the pain. With Shareables, your spreadsheet is the content, just update your data and your site updates automatically. Think filterable directories, job boards, resource hubs, and event listings that live on your existing website without the hassle.
Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
- They just work >> AI-generated code is impressive until it isn't. No-code tools are purpose-built for specific jobs, so there's no debugging, no hallucinated logic, no "almost right". You click, configure, done
- Intuitive by design >> the best no-code tools are built around how normal humans think, not how developers do. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can use Shareables. There's no learning curve gatekeeping you from getting something live.
- Speed without the trade-offs >> I can validate and ship ideas in hours, not weeks, without sacrificing quality or maintainability. The tools fit into workflows people already use, so adoption is instant.Category:

No-code tools used: Shareables, Webflow, Airtable
Quote: No-code tools (and AI tools) bridge the gap for me when I have an idea I want to try, and I just need to get it out there to see if it has any merit.
2. Overnight Success
Overnight Success is a media platform that has one of the best newsletters around town. They are on a mission to strengthen the Australian start-up ecosystem by making it more accessible, transparent, and connected. Every Saturday morning, subscribers gain access to all the latest and greatest raises, milestones, wins, and challenges across Aussie startups and VC. Founded in 2022, Overnight Success already has 2200 subscribers (and counting) and is in the process of building a platform that will become a resource hub for founders, investors, and operators.
Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
- Spin up a cheap and fast MVP to validate an idea.
- Work fast and within constraints
- Keep operating overheads pretty low, can usually fix something if it breaks ourselves!
Founder/s: William Richards and Gemma Clancy

Category: Newsletter
No-code tools used: Make, Beehiiv, Storipress, Webflow, Attio (CRM), Softr, Airtable, Stripe

3. Layer Licencing
Layer is on a mission to create a world of more play (we like the sound of that!). They have created a marketplace for IP Licencing which enables the gaming industry to collaborate with the best brands, characters, stories, and more. When games work with IP from popular artists, brands, or franchises they can create interactive experiences that deliver unrivaled fan engagement and player experiences. They offer some killer IP ranging from A$AP Rocky, American Psycho, McLaren Racing, and Ozark. Epic.
Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
- Build at the speed you can think, rather than at the speed you can explain your vision to someone.
- Test things without spending money.
- Early on, focus on the part that matters (customers) and whether you can turn random strangers into customers, rather than the inherent complexity of a product.

Their innovative solution empowers teachers to map their students’ knowledge and craft personalised lessons to drive engagement. Since launching in 2022, they have already delivered 25,000 + teaching hours (and growing quickly) across Australia.

Chillsy is for women who have moved cities for work and empowers users to create and attend small social dining events with people they could realistically be friends with. What. A. Vibe.
Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
- You can quickly get something into the hands of your users to rapidly iterate with
- Much cheaper than spending thousands of dollars to outsource development
- If you have no previous experience with coding, it's the perfect entry point, as you don't need to write a single line of code!

No-code tools used: Glide, FlutterFlow
Quote: We used Glide to develop our MVP. It significantly decreased the time required to release an app from months to just a few weeks.
6. Zac Hardman
Zac Hardman has been tinkering with websites on and off for about 10 years but made the official switch to no-code 18 months ago.
“I'm a full-time no-code developer at Blackbird (and since Jurassic Park Ranger isn't a real job I would say that this is the next coolest job in the world). At Blackbird, I run the tech behind our programs like Giants and Lilypad.”
On the side, Zac is building Outdoor Gear Comparison, the world’s first hiking equipment directory. He also co-founded NoCode Australia in March 2023, the community for no-code developers, designers, and tinkerers in Australia (if you are reading this blog you should join).
Three reasons he is using no-code tools:
- You want to build an MVP to test a business idea without spending $100,000+
- You can't code but want to build a technical business like a webapp or mobile app
- Everyone wants a CTO. Most won't find one. Is this enough reason to let your idea die? If the answer is no, start building a prototype with no-code and go from there.
Founder/s: Zac Hardman
Official website: https://outdoorgearcomparison.com/
No-code tools used: Airtable, Memberstack, Webflow, Jetboost, Finsweet, Timothy Ricks Scripts, Relume, Whalesync, Pory, Framer, Softr, Bubble, WeWeb, Zapier, Make, Parabola, Figma, Canva, ResizePixel
Quote: No code, no worries
7. Shenal Harakh
Shenal Harakh is a no-code developer and operations specialist helping businesses achieve efficiency and streamlining operations through technology. Her mission is to help more people start their business or creative journeys with friendly and relevant software.
“I love working with people who are building their very first tech products.”
Shenal’s clients are largely Australian startups. She also does a lot of pro bono work for Fijian entrepreneurs and creatives, including financial support for young Fijian women in STEM. Read more about her past work in this case study by Softr (one of the leading no-code platforms for building webapps (wow)).
Three reasons she is using no-code tools:
- The ability to build fast - building fast gives you the time you need to work with users and collect data for your growth.
- Most no-code developers are not professional engineers but in fact ex-Founders or others with business experience. Meaning when you work with a no-code developer you're likely working with someone who truly understand your needs rather than just the technical elements.
- Predictability of your costs - using a subscription based no-code product means you have some predictability over your future costs.
Founder/s: Shenal Harakh
Official website: www.shenal.online
No-code tools used: Softr, Airtable, Bubble, Xano, YCode, and Zapier.
Quote: What I love about the no-code ecosystem is that everyone is supportive and invested in helping each other grow businesses and ideas. It's not just about the technical stuff.
