How Low-Code/No-Code Are Changing CX Design?

low-code/no-code platforms are democratizing CX design by empowering a broader range of stakeholders to participate in the development process. This democratization leads to faster innovation, greater customization, and ultimately, more satisfying customer experiences.

The Growth of Low-Code/No-Code App Development

This is about a new way to make mobile app development services called Low-Code/No-Code. It's much easier than before, even for beginners. In the past, only experts who knew special coding languages could make apps, making it expensive and slow.

Now, with Low-Code/No-Code, you don't need to be a coding expert. These tools have simple drag-and-drop features, and you can create apps even if you only know a bit about technology. This makes it possible for more people to create their own apps, making the process fair for everyone.

Low-Code/No-Code has some benefits:

Cost Savings: It's much cheaper to use these platforms compared to traditional ways. You don't need as many professional developers, so businesses can make apps for less money.

Faster Development: These platforms are visual, and they have ready-made parts, so making an app is quicker. This lets companies get their apps to people faster and helps with marketing.

Useful for Developers: Even professional developers find these platforms helpful. They can quickly make prototypes, saving time in the early stages of development.

Focus on Hard Stuff: These platforms handle the easy stuff, so professional developers can focus on the hard parts like complex features and keeping the app secure.

Low-Code/No-Code is also good for:

Making Apps Look Nice: It makes designing the look of the app easy and user-friendly.

Testing Ideas Quickly: You can try out new ideas and fix problems faster.

Keeping Apps Updated: It's easier to keep apps up to date and fix problems with these platforms.

Smart Marketing: It encourages companies to try new ideas and make plans to reach their audience.

However, there are some limitations:

Not for Very Complex Apps: These platforms might not be great for super complex apps that need a lot of customization.

Tied to Specific Companies: If you use these platforms, you might become too dependent on one company, which could cause problems later.

Security Concerns: There could be security issues, so companies need to be careful and check the security of the platform they choose.

In conclusion, Low-Code/No-Code is a good option for many people and businesses. It makes creating apps faster and easier. But, it's not a total game-changer, and there are some things to watch out for. Make sure to understand its limits and think about your project carefully before using it.

STORIES TELLING: NED LOWE AND THE DEATH OF POOR REPRESENTATION IN OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

In history, Ned Lowe was one of the most sadistic and violent pirates in the early 18th century, so he’s an obvious choice for a villain for season 2, episode 6 – Calypso’s Birthday.  What is interesting is what the OFMD writers chose to do with him.

Lowe announces himself to the crew of the Revenge with great fanfare (cannon ball attack) and gets right to the point.

Ed is thoroughly unimpressed.

Cut to Ed and Stede tied up while Ned attempts to set the mood so he can monologue about why he wants to kill Ed.

Ed knows what’s coming. He is going to suffer but he still can’t be arsed to meet Ned with anything but vaguely bored dismissiveness (and Stede is happy to play along).

Up on the deck, Ned prepares the crew for his big, dramatic moment of symphonic torture.

Note that the Revenge crew is tied down, braced by vices and generally unable to protect themselves from imminent torture and possible death, but their spirits are up. They don’t seem terribly fussed.

Then Stede uses his people positive management style to happily orchestrate a worker uprising in Ned’s crew.

Ned’s crew responds instantly; severing their allegiance to Lowe and telling him off.

The crew sails away and talks profit sharing while Ned dully threatens to hunt them down.

Ned is now a prisoner of the Revenge crew and seems entirely disinterested in his own survival.

And Ned sinks to the depths, without struggling at all.

There is a lot going on in this episode: pay and labor equity direct action, gay love engagement bliss, kink humor, Stede being a hero and saving his crew by playing to his strengths, then having to decide whether to kill in cold blood and feel the consequences of that choice. Ed having one more reason to be done with piracy (while being so impressed with and fond of Stede), and then watching his man make a fraught choice and having to deal with the fallout from that. (And, damn, I haven’t even mentioned the passionate sex bit.) Anyway, back to the point.

Now for the the meta part

The Ned Lowe sequences are perfectly in keeping with OFMD’s signature blend of madcap violence, humor, and big emotional gut punches. But something about Ned Lowe just strikes me as off for this show.

Ned is seriously threatening the crews’ lives, so why don’t they take him seriously?

Why does Ned have such a boring, throwaway backstory?

Why is Ned so nonchalant about his own death; like it’s a foregone conclusion?

Why does Ned have a silver violin and silver spurs on his slip-on dress shoes?

Why is Ned sartorially monochromatic?

And then I realized who Ned reminds me of.

This guy,

Earnst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond film Diamonds are Forever (1971)

And this guy,

Scar in Disney's The Lion King (1994).

And this guy,

Xerxes, 300 (2006).

And it sure seems like Ned Lowe isn’t just an episodic villain. He is an archetype of the one-dimensional, stereotypical queer-coded villain that has been endemic in film and television throughout history. The OFMD writers have a lot to say about what to do with this kind of character:

Don’t respect him.

Feel free to openly mock him.

Don’t let him take your joy, even though he will hurt you.

He won’t disappear on his own. You have to throw something at him (take action) to make him go away.

Once he’s in the water, he’s content to drown. He’s not into what he’s doing any more than you are.

Oh and, just to be clear,

The LGBTQIA+ community has a very long history of turning shit media into better stories. So, hey, big media, prepare to have your crap characters wrecked (improved).

Now, back to our transformative pirate show with rich, complex queer characters and a multi-layered plot that surprises me every week and makes me feel big feelings - most of all, joy.

Final thought: I do wonder if Ned Lowe is monochromatically silver as a tribute to/poke at, Hollywood and the silver screen.

This meta was written before OFMD season 2 has fully aired. No idea what’s going to happen in the finale (and I’ve generally fled social media to avoid spoilers). I’ll be back, looking at everyone’s fascinating posts after episode 8 airs.

*slamming my fists down on the table* CHARLIE IS NOT STUPID!

Charlie is an optimist. And she is an optimist on purpose. Despite growing up in Hell. Despite seeing the worst of what humanity has to offer. Despite being harassed and ridiculed by the general public. She believes there is good in everyone, and she maintains that belief On. Purpose.

She is not stupid for that. She is not nearly as naïve as many of the characters and way too much of the fandom believe her to be. She is not blissfully ignorant of Hell’s and Heaven’s and humanity’s atrocities. She sees them, and she choses to see the good in people anyway.

I’m sorry some of you are so jaded that you mistake this for stupidity.
