Revisited - No-Code, No Problem: The Field Guide to No-Code Applications With Lola Ojabowale [The Opportunity Ep. 92]

For many years, an inability to code has held aspiring SaaS
founders back from success. Now, no-code and low-code tools are
lowering the barriers to entry for entrepreneurs looking to enter
the software and tech industries. 


But what exactly are no-code and low-code solutions?


In this episode, Lola Ojabowale gives us a thorough overview of
this exciting technology. Lola is the founder of Lunch Pail Labs,
a full-service digital product studio that helps clients
research, build, and maintain platforms and apps using no or
low-code solutions. 


Lola provides a definition of what no-code and low-code actually
refer to, and outlines the skills and experience entrepreneurs
will need in order to use no-code tools. We discuss the various
projects no-code can be used for and the limitations and
downsides of choosing no-code over traditional coding
solutions. 


Lola also explains why she is so passionate about economic
equity, and how no-code applications help to further the pursuit
of this goal. According to Lola,


"What's so interesting about no-code and low-code is this
"permissionlessness" that it enables. Even as a non-technical
founder, you don't have to have anybody's say-so or permission.
And that enables more folks to empower themselves and build
solutions that are authentic to themselves."


If you want to dive deeper into the world of no-code, listen
carefully to this conversation as Lola shares a long list of
tools, educational platforms, and communities that you can use to
further your no-code journey.
