No-code on the ears

Benni Amann is Global Digital Project Leader at ICF Movement - an interdenominational church with 80 locations in 13 countries worldwide.

ICF approached us in early 2024 with a challenge - they needed a centralized content hub for all 80 locations in 13 countries. There were some individual features they needed - existing SaaS couldn't really solve that. Could this be done with no-code tools?

In this episode you will find out, among other things, why ICF opted for a custom no-code solution instead of a SaaS solution and when it makes sense to build your own solution.

In this episode, I talk to Matthias Kunz, Head of Automation and AI at wemakefuture, about modern automation solutions and their own tool "0CodeKit".

We talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Make, Zapier, n8n and Microsoft Power Automate as well as use cases from Matthias' everyday life.

He also explains what 0CodeKit is and why it can make the everyday life of developers so much easier.

With "Xano Actions", Xano is finally introducing reusable workflow modules that make it much easier to create complex processes. The new "Xano Generator" brings AI power to database creation by automatically generating structure suggestions for your projects - a real game changer, in our opinion. And finally, Xano also has official certifications!

With Softr, Notion can now finally be used as a back-end, and a REST API integration allows comprehensive links with external tools such as Salesforce or Shopify. The biggest announcement? Softr is planning to expand into a full-stack platform - including its own workflows and database solution.

There's also news about Make's Human-in-the-loop & Runway modules.

Michael Mollath is Managing Director of IDS Online, a corporate start-up of IDS - the world's leading trade fair for the dental industry. But what does the dental industry have to do with Bubble, Make and Co.

Michael answers this question for us. He discovered his passion for no-code not so long ago. But he would never have imagined the impact this new enthusiasm would have in such a short space of time. Today, Michael is firmly convinced that any company in any industry can use no-code to drive innovation, if only they let it.

The No-Code Summit in Paris, the largest no-code event for Europe and the USA, was once again a key event for the growing no-code community this year. Our founders Alex and Lilith were there and report on their experiences, exciting discussions and the feature announcements of the various no-code platforms in episode #117 of the VisualMakers podcast.

Market research is expensive and time-consuming - and not every company can afford it. Even if the budget is available, surveys or user tests can take forever. This is exactly where Experial comes in. The platform offers a smart, AI-supported solution for consumer research and provides real-time insights through so-called "digital twins". 

In this episode, Experial co-founder Nader tells us how they came up with this idea. Our developer Tim also gives us an insight into how we built the platform with no-code tools.

In this episode, we summarize the four big topics of Bubble Con 2024: Native mobile apps, security updates, a new workflow editor and exciting AI updates. We also take a look at developments at Bubble competitor WeWeb and the new Rows AI Analyst 3.0.

This episode is all about Airtable's new AI Cobuilder and what this feature means for the competition. We also take a look at Softr's new back-end capabilities - Supabase and Monday.com.

This is the first episode about ThyroPal - the winning project of the No-Code for Impact grant.

In this episode, we learn about the challenges of dealing with thyroid disease and why she believes ThyroPal can be the right solution.

CFOxt is - as they say themselves - the smart solution for every back office. It promises to do away with old Excel sheets and error-prone paperwork for approval processes. They have been doing this for many years. But now they needed a new solution - something new.

In this episode, CFOxt founders Andreas Kranzusch and Till Hahndorf tell us why they had their custom code solution rebuilt by VisualMakers - especially despite not taking No-Code seriously at first.

Our co-founder Alex is also there. He tells us how he approached the new app and what the biggest challenges were.

How much can you get out of no-code if you use more data? Or does data benefit even more from the fact that it can be leveraged with no-code?

Until recently, Till was CTO and Managing Director at taod Consulting - a management consultancy with a focus on data. He is now part of our team at VisualMakers and is responsible for our agency projects as Head of Operations.

In this episode, he tells us why he decided to join us, what fascinates him about data and no-code and where he sees the synergies of these topics in the future.
