It's important to remember that not everything will happen quickly or easily on the first try.

it's important to have an idea of a simple usecase at the outset, but wanting to start using a platform without knowing its logic can quickly become a brake and become disappointing. it's imperative to watch tutorials at the outset and try to understand them before anything else: jumping in too quickly is not the solution. it's better to have help from the team.

My top tip for someone new to no-code is to start with a clear plan and a well-defined goal for your project. Understand what problem you're trying to solve or what value you want to create. Research and explore different no-code tools and platforms to find the one that best suits your needs. Begin with simple projects to build your confidence and gradually tackle more complex ideas. Leverage online communities, tutorials, and resources to learn and iterate. Embrace the trial and error process, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Practice, perseverance, and a growth mindset will lead to successful projects.

I believe you already have some project idea? If yes, the first step is to make some no-code tools research and find the tool that best aligns with your project requirements and skill level. Or you've already defined it as well?

@oxana_ivanova I already work in Webflow mostly, but I see a lot of people struggle with where to start when it comes to no code.

Define your project: Clearly outline the problem you want to solve or the goal you want to achieve with your project. Having a clear objective will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the process.

Defining no-code limitations for your project and finding the right set of tools to build everything as you wish without any blockers. I am more fan of a low-code because it allows more flexibility :)

Dive in headfirst, have fun exploring the vast array of no-code tools, remember there's no such thing as a perfect first project, and always keep learning and experimenting to continually improve your skills – it's a journey, not a destination! πŸš€

Build out as much as UI as you can before building the actual app. The wireframes can be rough, but they help guide you. Also, make sure you have some type of long-term plan, such as can you take the code with you or learn how to write some yourself as you progress?

As a no coder I can't give any advice πŸ˜…

look at the decision of the market leaders, see how it can be improved, and make your own interpretation. Remember the Pareto Principle: 20% of effort produces 80% of results )
