Low-Code Development Made Simple: A Step-by-Step Guide

In a world where rapid innovation and digital transformation are paramount, traditional software development methods may often lead to bottlenecks and delayed project timelines. Here, low-code development emerges as a solution, allowing organizations to build applications quickly and efficiently through visual interfaces and minimal coding. 

Wondering how low-code development differs from traditional methods? Read on to explore the differences, key stages, and strategies for a smooth low-code experience. 

Why choose Low-Code Development? 

Here’s a table explaining why many prefer low-code development over traditional methods: 

Hope you now ha’ve a clearer understanding of your next steps! Now, let’s explore the key stages of the low-code development journey. 

Key Stages in the Low-Code Development Journey 

Navigating the low-code development journey involves several essential stages to ensure successful application creation. Let’s break down these stages using the example of developing a mobile fitness application. 

1. Identify Core Processes and Data Requirements: Before building your fitness app, it’s crucial to clarify the core processes that will drive user engagement. For instance, you might want to include features like workout tracking, diet logging, and user progress monitoring. Mapping out these processes helps you determine the data needed, such as user input, activity metrics, and nutritional information, in this case. 

2. Design Intuitive User Interfaces: Next, think about how users will interact with your app. For a fitness application, you’ll need user-friendly interfaces for logging workouts or meals. Low-code/ no code platforms enable you to design these interfaces effortlessly using drag-and-drop functionality, allowing you to create customized fields that cater to user needs, such as exercise type, duration, and calorie intake. 

3. Develop Functional Features: With your processes defined and interfaces in place, it’s time to construct the app. Low-code development empowers you to build robust features without extensive coding. For example, you can integrate a workout schedule that automatically adjusts based on user preferences, leveraging pre-built components to save time while enhancing functionality. 

4. Test Rigorously Before Launch: Before launching your fitness app, thorough testing is crucial. Simulate user interactions to identify any technical issues or bugs. Low-code development platforms often provide testing environments where you can evaluate app performance under various scenarios.  

5. Launch and Maintain with Ease: Once testing is complete, you’re ready to launch your fitness app. Low-code solutions simplify this process, allowing you to publish your application on various app stores with just a few clicks.  

Additionally, these platforms facilitate ongoing updates and feature enhancements, enabling you to respond quickly to user feedback and keep your app relevant in a fast-paced market. 

Onwards toward knowing about the hurdles and ways to dodge them! 

Strategies for Overcoming Low-Code Development Challenges 

Here are three common challenges along with their solutions to help you navigate the low-code journey effectively: 

a. Limited Customization 

Challenge: Low-code platforms may restrict customization, making it difficult to meet unique business needs. 

Solution: Choose a flexible platform that allows for custom coding when necessary, enabling tailored solutions without compromising speed. 

b. Integration Issues 

Challenge: Integrating low-code applications with existing systems can be complicated, risking data flow and compatibility. 

Solution: Select platforms with robust integration capabilities and APIs to facilitate seamless connections with other systems. 

c. Governance and Security Concerns 

Challenge: Increased access to development can lead to governance and security challenges. 

Solution: Implement strict governance frameworks and security protocols to manage user access, data protection, and compliance effectively. 

That’s all! By following these key stages and addressing the challenges in your low-code development journey, you can streamline your processes and create impactful applications that meet your user’s needs.

My favourite underrated thing about Tumblr is the low contrast theme. As someone who gets chronic headaches and already spends too much time looking at a computer screen due to my job, this theme hits the sweet spot for me where it doesn't feel like my eyes are actively being destroyed. Like when I'm scrolling Tumblr compared to Reddit or something it's night and day

youtube ads becoming first one 5-second ad then two 5-second ads in a row or one 15-second ad then a million unskippable ads in the middle of videos instagram quietly inserting one ad in-between every 5 or 10 ig stories then 2 in-between 4 ig stories not to mention the new reel- and explore page ads. a quiet tumblr ad banner at the top of your dash then photo ads in-between posts then video ads then video ads in-between every 3 or 5 posts that play audio automatically while youre trying to read a textpost. the most popular, paid subscription, news apps adding ads between their articles, then in articles, then paywalling new articles further with a new "news +" subscription and putting ads in those as well. once every 15 tweets there being an ad, then every 5, then theres also an ad if you scroll to the replies. you cant look at tweets without logging in anymore, theres just no option for anon scrolling. facebook ai mining on instagram, facebook ai profiles hyping up ai generated photos im fucking going insane ai temu ads and gallery app ads and printer app ads and higher subscriptions while still seeing ads and i cant fucking do this anymore!!!!! its fucking shameless and worst of all its silent and nobody talks about how half the things we see anymore are fucking ads and we dont own a single thing we pay for and companies can just randomly raise their prices through the roof and nobody says anything about it

By jove I think I finally made procreate dreams work for something. I love flipbook animation, Procreate is great for flipbook IF you only use one layer. Dreams is great for video editing, but is abysmal for drawing (no lasso tool!! Its been like a year!!!!) BUT if you drag and drop animations from procreate to dreams, it lets me basically use dreams as layers for animation like I wanted. Finally, I can not regret the 20$ spent on this stupid app lmao.

Here's Leman, the ears and tail are separately animated, and it also lets me mess with timing! Prob sounds like nothing to everyone else but I'm delighted lmao.

If you hate capitalism, or just really like free stuff that's cool, check this out:

Have any of your gotten frustrated by Google's Play store? If so, check out F-Droid

It's a store that has open source apps which are described honestly by their creators because they're not trying to sell you something. It actually lists "anti-features" of apps right after the "features" list so you know all the flaws too.

I found the Saber notes app on it, which is actually also on Google Play but is drowned out there by all the other more annoying less functional apps.

My laptop when it needs an update: no please I need you to click this button once and ONLY ONCE. It must be 12:34 on a THURSDAY AFTERNOON. If you close your laptop YOU DIE. If you walk away YOU DIE. You must be here for the whole HALF HOUR. I will INSIST that I am on 98% THE WHOLE TIME. If any of these conditions are not met, I WILL BE UNRESPONSIVE FOR THREE MONTHS. I will NOT. Tell you why. Have fun going to every Microsoft store IN THE COUNTRY. Nerd.

My phone: nah man you won’t even notice. I guess you can click the button. Otherwise I’ll just do it when ur asleep. No stress.

[desktopdinosaur]

Sorry if you have answered this before but, I was wondering what do you use to animate? Or what drawing app/software do you use?

Hello! No bother- I should probably make some kind of intro with this stuff-

But I won’t-

For drawing I use Ibis paint x, the free version- 

For frame by frame animation I mainly use flipaclip,

And for tweened animation I use alight motion

but I’ve been using toon boom more recently and might switch? Probably not- I heard toom squid is also really good

For editing I use a mix of alight motion and capcut

Capcut is really good for basic editing like camera movements or colour corrections

Alight motion is for the heavier stuff, compositing, adding rim lighting and shadows

Tip. If you don’t want the alight motions watermark just export it twice, one with the water mark on the bottom and one with it on the top

Than add those video to capcut with one being an overlay and use the mask tool to cut out the watermark for one of the videos-

Sorry if that sounds confusing-

How to install NewPipe on Android

NewPipe is a YouTube replacement client for Android devices. It's open-source (meaning, you can see all of their code as you please), privacy-oriented, lightweight, and supports features that are normally locked behind a YouTube Premium paywall.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with NewPipe, YouTube, Android, Google, Alphabet Inc, or any other brand or name mentioned here. I made this guide to help my friends who were curious.

NewPipe's Website: https://newpipe.net/

The GitHub Repository

Step 0. Compatibility check

Make sure you're running an Android device! This won't work on an Apple device of any kind! Also, for those more tech-savvy among you, if you have the F-Droid store installed, you can download NewPipe straight from there!

Step 1. Downloading

Go to NewPipe's Github repo (repository, the codebase or where all of the code is stored). Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see "Releases". Click on the one that says "Latest" next to it in a little green bubble:

Your version number (v#...) will be different if you're reading this in the future! That's okay. Scroll past the changelog (unless you want to read it!) until you find "Assets":

Click on the first one, the one with the little cube ending in .apk. APK files are Android Package (Kit) and are the main format for downloading apps. Once you click on the link, it should begin downloading or your browser will ask you to confirm that you want to download this file. You should always verify the filename matches what you expect it to be (namely, the file format) before attempting to install! It might take a few moments for the file to download depending on your internet connection.

Step 2. Installation

Once you have the file downloaded, you can click the download popup in your notification bar or find the file in your device's file system. One of 2 things will happen:

You will get a popup asking if you want to install an APK by the name of NewPipe - confirm that you do (and make sure the app is really NewPipe!) and it will install automatically. You can then click "Open" to open the app and begin using it.

You will get a popup warning you that you have the ability to install apps from unknown sources disabled and that you can't install this. This is normal and does not mean that you downloaded the wrong thing.

If you got the first popup, continue past this step. For those of you who got the second, let's go over what this means.

By default, most Androids have this setting disabled. This is for security purposes, so you can't accidentally install a malicious app from the whole internet. If you enable this setting (allow installations from unknown/unsigned sources), you are theoretically putting yourself at risk. Realistically, you're probably fine. But, after installing NewPipe, you can always re-disable the setting if it makes you more comfortable. That will prevent you from installing updates in the future, but it can always be re-enabled.

Ready to turn that setting on? It will vary by your individual device! Some devices will take you directly to the page with the setting upon failed installation, and some you will just have to find it yourself using the searchbar in settings.

Once you've allowed installations from unknown sources (wording may vary slightly), try to repeat the steps above of clicking the download popup or finding the APK in your files and trying to install it. It should work correctly this time!

Step 3. Updating NewPipe

Like most apps, NewPipe is in development currently and frequently has new versions released to improve it and fix bugs. Unlike most apps, NewPipe needs to be manually updated, since we haven't downloaded through the Google Play store.

To update NewPipe, all you have to do is follow the above steps for installing the app, except that when you get the popup asking to install it, it will instead say "Update". That's it! NewPipe and Android handle the rest.

NewPipe also has popup notifications for when the app has a new update, so you don't have to worry about checking the GitHub for a new release. Just click on the "A new version is available" popup and it should take you directly to the webpage.

That's it! Enjoy browsing videos in peace without ads and with the ability to download and so much more. Pro tip: you can copy paste YouTube links into the NewPipe search bar to go directly to that video/playlist/channel.

Not sure where to ask this, so im posting here as well as some forums BUT:

Basically I really love using Figma for making interactive menus. I have used Figma for mocking up websites and mobile apps before at my job, and in my odd time I’ve taken to using figma to prototype and make sketches of things like UI and flowcharts for the game my friends and I are developing. And even more recently I prototyped a fully custom, nice-looking, interactive character sheet for my character in the current campaign im playing.

Now, It’s got me thinking: I would really, really love to build custom character sheets for people as a side job as its something i genuinely enjoy doing. But the problem is, figma will not exist forever and I have foreseen that it might be a pain to build someone a prototype and I am the sole person to make updates whenever their character levels, they get new gear etc and I don’t really like the idea of forcing people to make an account for a tool they wont want to learn or use outside of the prototype i send them. Additionally, Figma prototype is ultimately not ideal for more distinguished and specific character sheets as I’d like for it to be.

For example, I would love to make buttons that a user can tap to mark how many death saves they have succeeded or failed, I want the user to be able to mark for inspiration and conditions, etc. I know I could possibly feasibly make it work all inside one scrollable frame, but the way I prefer to set up the character sheets requires navigating to different frames with buttons.

What other good alternatives are there? I like to make these character sheets for mobile use (phones and tablets) so should I jump to app development? I don’t mind learning new or more complicated softwares, just as long as the software is free, there’s a free trial long enough for me to learn the gist of the software, a single larger purchase for a license for a good amount of features, or the cost for subscription is low. Is Godot a good software to use for this? My team is learning godot anyway for our game as we were discouraged from Unreal Engine.
