Anti-code is not the same as no code. Developers and their expertise will always have a place. However, people should not be prevented from launching their ideas, establishing businesses, and pursuing their entrepreneurial goals simply because they do not know how to code. The proliferation of no-code development platforms that make it possible for non-programmers to create is exciting.

Locofy lets you drag and drop pre-built components from Material UI, Bootstrap, Ant Design, Chakra UI as well as your Storybook.

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that allows you to host and build websites.
