Hello world!
Hey whats up!
Last week I promised to share with you the list of my favorite Nocode apps, if you give a like for my newsletter. You didn't :(
Probably you haven't read that article about Nocode, or just haven't felt excited with this approach yet, so I'll give you some tasty Nocode tools to try right away. Make me a favour, like and share this newsletter if you want me to continue sharing not only new, but also favourite lists of tools.
For desert you'll get few weekly best articles, video and playlists.
No Code best:
Nocoders made their own Nocode Youtube. There you can find any tutorials on how to build literally anything using just tools. This one, for example, explains how to make a job board web app with Airtable, Zapier and Webflow:

One of the most loved tools by digital folks is Notion. Super super.so gives you an ability to conver any Notion doc to the website with custom domain, fonts and analytics.
The king of all nocode tools is Bubble. You can imagine this - you can build it on Buuble, at least MVP. It is powerful as your own full-stack team of 5. One of the projects made on Bubble has already raised more than $325MM. So what are you still waiting for? https://bubble.io/showcase
The younger brother of Bubble is Webflow. You can develop any complex website and integrate with any 3rd-party apps easy as building lego blocks. We made whole 'Make it in Ukraine' project on Webflow and we are 100% satisfied with this solution. Try it! Webflow.com
Even nocode is too complicated for you? Here you can buy ready-to-use platforms like Airbnb, Kickstarter and Uber Eats for 100-300 dollars. Does the cost ov MVP stop you from launching start up? :) https://flippa.com/zeroqode
While almost anything can be connected with Zapier, Integromat and Parabola, sometimes you need to connect services through custom API requests. Setting up own server for API may be challenging for nocoders, fortunately, we have https://nocodeapi.com/ for such cases. Connect them all.
https://www.directual.com/ – Low-code back-end tool. Sorry, what? Yes, you're right, cloud database, API builder, role-based access control, real-time scenarios and integrations are affordable for everyone now.
If you are nocode adept or just interested in this emerging trend, feel free to reach me out trough Facebook or Instagram

best articles of the week
I still believe that (copy)writing is the most powerful skill you can develop and you should constantly develop. This newsletter mostly is about me trying to write in English for your pleasure. To practice skill I'm using for my products, ads and sales. If I be able to write in English at least 50% of how I can write in Russian, I'd be the happiest person. Long road is still in front of me. Want to start writing or improve your writing skills? Check this brilliant article from Julian: https://www.julian.com/guide/write/intro
Another great article from Julian Shapiro. In this masterpiece about growth marketing he very clearly explains what is it, how to approach, where is the difference between traditional and growth marketing, which acquisition channels to choose for different types of B2C & B2B businesses. Must read for startup founders, marketers and everyone who works with digital products. julian.com/guide/growth/intro
Just a few weeks ago we have an argument when you will be able to feel tastes through your mobile screen, in 5 or in 15 years. imagine how I was surprised, when last week my friend send this article. https://gizmodo.com/this-lickable-screen-can-recreate-almost-any-taste-or-f-1843609903 Obviosly it is too far away from mass market production, but it is already here. Wow!
I'll put one no-nocode(😄) service and one video in articles section and will hope you will not notice this.
How much time and money to create 50 motion videos from regular photo? Couple of bucks and literally two minutes. https://app.offeo.com/smart-create New Offeo's feature 'Smart create' blows my mind and will blow yours. Check it out!
AI development is an field you can make mistake just once. Scientists are still arguing is there any threats from AI in the next 5 or 50 years, but we need to ask right questions now and try to find answers, which help us to build brighter future, not digital kontslager managed by very efficient algorithms.
It's time to have some fun.
