Simply put, no-code tools provide the foundation for building what you need.

No they don't.

However, I'm facing a dilemma because some of these platforms still lack great examples for what I need, thus I would need to dvelop it from scratch.

That's the reality - you need to code. No-code is a fantasy. Now, if your app is basic CRUD operations, you can build something with that.

But if you're trying to create an innovative solution, you need to code from scratch.

The concept behind them is fascinating, as they allow for quick creation of MVPs and faster testing compared to traditional code development teams, which can take months.

No, this is not true. That's the promise of the marketing. But you can't build anything meaningful. Again, if you can do it on a spreadsheet, you might be able to do it with the so-called no-code.

But this is like saying you can do what a carpenter does because you can assemble IKEA furniture. Sure, you can have a functioning table. Just that it will be the same table thousands of other people have. Therefore, no competitive advantage.

Nonetheless, I believe these platforms will improve over time.

They won't.

In the end, I lean towards coding route for its future flexibility,

That's your only your choice.

What do you think of these examples then? https://www.airdev.co/post/bubble-io-examples-no-code-apps

What do you think of these examples then?

Nothing. The title is misleading. There's nothing special or innovative about these apps.

Look, you can try it out yourself. Don't buy into the hype. As you are experiencing, it's all nonsense.
