An Introduction to No-Code App Platform for Business

What Is No-Code Development, and How Does It Work?

No-Code development is a distinct method of software development that facilitates digital transformation in businesses of all sizes. In layman's terms, no-code development is the process of creating apps without writing any code.

No-code platforms based on SaaS enable enterprises to produce software considerably quicker and for a fraction of the cost of a typical code-based approach. Traditional coding initiatives take ten times longer to complete than no-code development projects.

Extracting Reddit Data to Airtable Using Byteline’s No-Code Platform

Introduction

In the world of information exchange, nerds and nitwits love Reddit alike. The popularity of Reddit is not only because of being an infinite source of user-generated content for pretty much every field of human knowledge but also for the fact that Reddit manages spam, unlike any other social media channels.

The prominence of Reddit is apparent with its sheer number of users who not only access informative content by visiting the site but also extract that info to be used with another source. To do so, Reddit offers an API that can be used to pull subreddit data of posts, comments, media, and votes. Though it sounds like a great idea, often there are challenges to convert the API skeleton into a full-fledged data churning machine. This is usually because using the Reddit API requires decent technical development skills before actually starting to use it for data extraction.

Updating a Webflow CMS using Byteline’s No-Code Service

Intro

Informative-engaging content is always the No#1 way to ensure that you consistently pull in organic traffic to your website. If you are using a Webflow CMS, and are looking to keep your site updated with a regular batch of informative content, one popular approach is to explore a HTTP RESTful service that keeps updating information at scheduled intervals.

While Webflow offers a great platform to build your site easily in minutes, keeping it updated regularly is a challenge often faced by site owners. To help with this, Byteline offers a No-Code Upsert (Update and Insert) service which you may use to pull data from an external source, and then feed it into your Webflow CMS. It intelligently figures out whether to update or insert a record without requiring any user input. For items requiring an update, it automatically figures out the Item ID. Compare this to a complicated no-code logic required in other no-code platforms to figure out the right Item ID to update. All this, without writing a single line of code!
