With the new"Xano Actions", Xano brings a powerful tool for efficient workflow creation. These actions function like modular building blocks for frequently used processes, allowing developers to define steps once and then reuse them flexibly in different projects. This simplifies work considerably, especially in larger projects. You can think of it like Make modules.
One of the most exciting new features is the Xano Generator, which is supported by artificial intelligence and helps developers to create the database structure for apps. Using simple text prompts, the AI suggests meaningful tables and relationships and creates a database structure based on the desired features. This saves a lot of time and enables even no-code users without in-depth technical knowledge to build complex apps.
To confirm the expertise of Xano developers, Xano is now introducing a certification program. There are four levels: Sales Specialist, Developer, Architect and Trainer. These certificates not only help to demonstrate skills, but also provide access to an exclusive developer community.
Softr now allows the use of Notion as a data source, similar to Airtable or Google Sheets. This function is perfect for using existing data from Notion, for example for customer portals. This innovation was celebrated on Product Hunt and won first place as Product of the Day!
Softr can now be used even more flexibly as it offers REST API integration. This means that any platform with an API interface can be used as a backend, for example Jira, Salesforce or Shopify. This gives users the ability to use Softr as a frontend for super many different tools.
Even more exciting is the announcement that Softr wants to become a full-stack platform. Workflows and its own database will be available in the near future. With these functions, Softr will become more independent and offer a more comprehensive solution for app development.
Make is working on a module that integrates human approval steps into automated processes. This "human-in-the-loop" function is particularly suitable for processes that require manual approval before they continue. This feature is currently still in closed beta, but promises to be a significant enhancement for semi-automated workflows.
With Runway, Make has integrated an AI video tool that allows videos to be created from images. This integration opens up a wide range of possibilities for generating AI-supported video content directly in Make - ideal for social media, marketing or visual projects.
Bubble is now offering a new, two-part video course that teaches users how to design attractive user interfaces for apps and landing pages. This course is aimed at beginners and provides valuable tips and tricks for designing beautiful interfaces.
Another new feature is the Bubble Store, where fans of the platform can buy merchandise. The range includes T-shirts, sweaters and caps - but no "bubble bugfix insect sprays" or "bubble soap bubbles" (yet).
These new functions and updates show how dynamically the no-code world is developing. With new tools, integrations and certifications, platforms such as Xano, Softr, Make and Bubble are becoming increasingly attractive and versatile for developers and companies. It remains exciting to see what further possibilities and simplifications the future will bring.
