Nowadays, technical skills are not a barrier to building products as there are a large number of no-code tools available in the market. You aren't required to have any technical experience or knowledge to start with no-code tools.
No code tools offer simple drag and drop options to build applications visually without writing any code.

Do you have an idea but lack the technical skills to build the product? The rise of no-code tools gives flexibility and enables non-technical founders to quickly convert and test their idea by building the product without writing a single line of code.  

No code tools empower to quickly build the minimum viable product (MVP), prototype and get users' feedback. You can also build scalable products with no-code tools. You don’t have to hire developers and spend a lot of money to build a product if you have limited resources. No code tools save a lot of development time and cost.  

For example, you can build scalable, robust and feature-rich applications using Bubble and use Typeform to conduct surveys or take feedback from your initial application users without writing any single line of code. This you can do within a few days rather than hiring developers and spending weeks building custom applications from scratch.

In this post, we’re going to discuss 14 tools which you can use for different purposes to convert your idea into reality.
