Michael and Johnny survey the No-Code Movement landscape, covering the history and progress of various services, and finally, look at whether we can use No Code tools to re-create existing popular apps. To wrap up, we give ourselves a No-Code Challenge: to build something in the next month using the only No-Code tools.
In the News of the Week, we discuss Twitter's big hack, and as a follow up to the previous week's discussion on the potential Tiktok ban, we look at Instagram's new Reels feature.
