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. EntryLevel

Three reasons they are using no-code tools:

2) It’s fun – you get to make cool things
3) More creativity – the whole team can get involved and collaborate, which leads to better ideas
2. Overnight Success

Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
1) Spin up a cheap and fast MVP to validate an idea.
2) Work fast and within constraints
3) Keep operating overheads pretty low, can usually fix something if it breaks ourselves!
3. Layer Licencing
Founder/s: Chris Illuk
Official website: https://www.layerlicensing.com/
Category: Gaming
No-code tools used: Airtable, Stacker, Make, Intercom
Quote: There is no limit to what can be done with Airtable automations!
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:
1) Build at the speed you can think, rather than at the speed you can explain your vision to someone.
2) Test things without spending money.
3) 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.

5. Chillsy
Founder/s: Charizze Austin
Official website: https://www.chillsy.app/
Category: Social

Three reasons they are using no-code tools:
1) You can quickly get something into the hands of your users to rapidly iterate with
2) Much cheaper than spending thousands of dollars to outsource development
3) 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!
6. Zac Hardman
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
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:
1) You want to build an MVP to test a business idea without spending $100,000+
2) You can't code but want to build a technical business like a webapp or mobile app
3) 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.
7. Shenal Harakh
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.
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:
1) The ability to build fast - building fast gives you the time you need to work with users and collect data for your growth.
2) 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.
3) Predictability of your costs - using a subscription based no-code product means you have some predictability over your future costs.
8. Bonus No-Code Platform: Pixel
Founder/s: Simon Moore
