What's the #NoCode movement and how can it help you?
Doing things simply and efficiently is pretty much intertwined with anything I do. Finding shortcuts, tips and tools to help me accomplish my tasks quickly is like Christmas!
The #NoCode movement is something that’s been going on for a while now. It’s a simple way to build software (and other digital things) without writing code.
So as I like to minimise my workflow, I also wanted a way to simplify how my website was built & maintained.
Then I found Webflow, and now I can build my site visually and also never have issues with hacks, slow pages and not worry that it’ll look crap.

would it be great to be able to create
something without working too hard I
know it sounds impossible but let me
explain my name is Kay I'm a tech
minimalist and I help people like you
organize your technology so you can free
up your time so what what do I mean
about creating something with not enough
work so there's this whole movement
called no code and no code from what I
understand because I kind of stumbled
across it accidentally recently is a
kind of a movement mainly on Twitter I
guess it's kind of a movement where
developers and programmers and can
create things without coding like in the
old days in the past I keep saying old
days but in the past I used to be able
to create websites by coding like that's
what we do we use s CSS CSS SQL and so
on and so forth for databases HTML it's
getting a bit geeky but we used to be
able to hand code your websites on web
pages and a company came along called
web flow there's a link in the down
below in the show notes about with how
you can create a website visually
without using code now with web flow and
a lot of these no code tools you still
need to know the coding part of it
because you need to understand the
fundamentals of how the tool works or
how the technology works I should say
and the tool is there to help you work
on it visually basically so the no code
movement is basically moving towards
that kind of tool those kind of pieces
of software and things like that what
the reason I'm making an episode about
this and what kind of intrigued me about
it is that the no code movement isn't
too dissimilar to tech minimalism and
digital minimalism and and organizing
your technology there are things like
zapier that help automate your things
there's G suite that can help you with
your documents there is iCloud obviously
for helping organizing your
file so you don't have to worry about
hard drives and so on so it's kind of
eliminating a lot of the grunt work for
what you need to do and where you need
to be so the whole point of it is to try
to find simplified ways to get the most
complex thing done that's why I like
simplicity because I I don't want to be
inundated with annoyances and bugs and
so on on my website for instance I give
all of that to a company that knows more
about it and I just build it visually so
with my computer and my the running of
my business I don't want to deal with
service I don't want to deal with any
kind of manual data input so I use API I
don't want to be involved with all my
email server doesn't work that's why I
put my email into G suite and so there's
so many pros to having a SAS company so
this company to help you to run your
business so effectively I call it no
code I don't want to deal with the
coding part of it I just need to work
and be able to help my clients anyway
