    Adopt a minimalist coding style, create custom software that excels at doing one thing, and design it to be easily rewritable so that you can start over in a week or less if your needs change. Chain your custom software together with industry tested solutions - think unix philosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un...

    Launching soon!
    I think it depends on where you strengths are and what product you're building. For payments we're going to launch with a pretty simple stripe model / over time add other dunning/churn, payouts, additional gateways to it but I think payments will always be low/no code. For other solutions re: data collection and analytics for our end users we're going to have to use more custom stacks for that.

    no code is great for finding market fit. It is quicker to iterate. It can be scaled up to a certain point. IMO startups should use both. no code for testing ideas and code for core features.

    imho custom software beats low/no code every time. code is more efficient and you can actually change stuff when something goes wrong. low/no code, if a widget is written poorly you can't do much about it.

    @backseosoftware Andrew, I'll reply properly to you tomorrow if that's OK; very interesting point, but still, I can see some use cases 😃 We have launched our RevMyWork today on the Product Hunt, so we are a little busy at the moment 🚀 We'd really appreciate it if you could take a look and give us feedback on your thoughts about the product 🙏 Thank you!
