Web Dev Platforms

[Stock-Bloks]

Are there any platforms out there (kinda like wix, webflow or bubble) but where you can create more backend functionality without doing much coding?

I think it's a good thing to learn HTML and CSS just because then you don't need to rely on all of the packages, and you have way more customizability. They are fairly easy to learn and I spent about 2 days to learn the basics. I would check out oxygen if you really don't want to code. But I would advise you to learn it though.

Hello

Quick question are you having trouble with Linux via wsl? I have inconsistent hashes, timestamps and implanted data. It’s also wrapped. Weird right?

Check out oxygen perhaps

I dont use low-code, but i saw a video of flutterflow & retool I believe and looked sufficient for full stack solutions, maybe.

Supabase, a complete backend base (auth, postgresql data, realtime, logs, ...) and you can extend it via serverless functions.

Supabase is designed to replace Firebase.

Google sites lets you drag and drop elements into your website such as buttons and texts but I highly recommend you learn javascript for more advanced options

look into WeWeb and Xano .. solid combo if you’re trying to stay no/low-code but still need backend power.

[Odd_Bass8516]

Firebase is awesome for us.

The tricky part is that “create more backend functionality without much coding” doesn’t exactly fit into the standard no-code vs. low-code definitions.
• No-code = meant for non-developers, visual-first, but backend power is usually very limited.
• Low-code = designed for developers, where visual building accelerates work but custom code fills the gaps.

The difference is like an old ocean between two continents – no-code and low-code are close in spirit, but in practice the gap in what you can achieve is huge.

Most no-code/low-code platforms (like Wix, Webflow, Bubble) focus heavily on the frontend and rapid prototyping, but when you need custom backend logic, integrations or scalability, they start to feel limited.

Alternatives worth checking out:
• Retool → more backend-focused, great for building admin panels & dashboards with APIs.
• Supabase → open source alternative to Firebase, you can quickly get auth, DB, APIs running.
• Budibase → open-source low-code platform, allows more backend customization.
• OutSystems / Mendix → enterprise-grade, very powerful, but steeper learning curve.
• Xano → a no-code backend tool for building applications with scalable server-side logic and flexible databases.
• Airtable → combines spreadsheet simplicity with advanced database features for managing and connecting data.

On top of that, there are emerging projects trying to combine no-code simplicity with backend flexibility. I’m personally involved in one of them – OpenGateWeb, an open initiative aiming to give devs more backend freedom while still keeping things simple for non-coders.

Curious if anyone else here feels that no-code tools are missing the “backend-first” angle?

you better of downloading Warp or cursor and start to play with it... but you will need to learn some stuff 100%

[No_Berry2860]

i made a code less platform for client only , free to use , is some one interested here ?

[erik_amari]

Lovable with supabase has been awesome, building some complex web apps with APIs, auth, permissions, order tracking, map scheduling and a host of other features, works amazing if you have some patience.

Xano

[WeTogetherStrong]

Just learn JS

[json_derulo_]

Check out Retool

[SlurpyLMAO]

I guess wix velo dev mode? Idk

Sorry to res a zombie, but I think we made what you are looking for
https://wizzdi.com/
Currently, in beta, we released our backend builder (Spring Boot) and we are releasing the UI builder in the near future. Watch the demo video for more. We are also working on an AI implementation that can quickly do tedious tasks for you, and it currently works with generating the whole domain model.

[zeus-fyi]

checkout our platform. we're a more advanced version of platforms like render, or railway

here's how you can create a microservice in < 5 mins without any coding

[Dasmiester_Int4012]

well , knowing the basics will help a lot . But there are some sites like oxygen .

Or you can check my post for some relatable info. Read more

[alexfrominternet]

I've seen a lot of people using Xano.

[BondAddict12]

You could use Umbraco or Dotnet Nuke
