NCS Edition 21: Reflections of the best stories from the year 2022!
Hola, 👋
Wow, we can't believe we've reached over 1400 readers!
It seems like yesterday when we launched No-code Shots in early August, and now are here with over 1400 friends.
We may be a small team, but we've got a whole lot of gratitude for all of you who have supported us.
Thank you for making this such a fantastic year!
Also, we are blown away by the response to our No-code Cohort with The Product Folks in January 2023!
It looks like we'll have a full house in no time.
We can't wait to see what the future holds for all of you as you dive into the world of No-code.
We're hosting a special 60 min session this Thursday for aspiring No-coders to learn about how the No-code program helps empower side-project launches within a 4-week timeframe.
Join us and learn about the inner workings of the No-code cohort!
We'll show you how we take peeps from any background from having no idea in Week 1 to shipping a No-code side project in just 4 weeks.
Are you ready for a blast from the past? — In today's edition, we're taking a trip down memory lane and recapping 2022's biggest updates in our newsletter.
Lessss go!

⚡ Webflow launched its own Zapier! 🔁 ⚡
No-code website builder Webflow introduced Logic at the No-Code Conf 2021, and launched its Beta version in 2022.
Logic adds options to "if this happens then do that" much like Zapier. Logic is designed to help No-coders automate their Webflow site.
It can be used to quickly capture customer information, sync the CMS, and connect websites and apps.
Logic can also be used to make decisions based on user submissions, such as automatically moving candidates to the next stage of an interview process based on their application.
