Tip Sheet NEED AN APP? THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

WHAT IF YOU COULD build an app for your company without having to hire expensive-and hard-to-find-software developers? That's the promise of low-code and no-code platforms: wresting the power to solve workflow problems from the hands of the engineers.

Can you imagine? "Now," says David Adkin, co-founder and CEO of no-code platform Adalo, "entrepreneurs can solve their own problems." 

It's a huge shift. Because anyone, regardless of coding chops, can make an app, businesses have a new tool to quickly improve their digital presence cheaply. Instead of puzzling through complex lines of code, anyone can drag and drop their way to a fully functional mobile app-or even tell a computer in plain English what they want that app to do.
