Do you consider Apple Shortcuts as no-code?

I'm quite a big fan of Apple Shortcuts iOS and macOS. I use it to help automate all sorts of things on my personal devices.

I also feel like it's a great playground for doing some no-code things. But wonder if others feel the same.

    They can be but if you're working with APIs or processing data then it's helpful to understand the same logic that developers use to right code...

    Would love to hear more about the automations you've set up!

    I voted for no, because to me, no-code should mean something my grand-mother can use.

    Definitely, she’s not going to understand how Shortcuts work. But after thinking about it for a second, she’s going to use Zapier or Webflow in fact. Those platforms should be named as "low-code".

    PS: Totally agree the poll is not about that 😅

      Oooo nice! I like the grandmother test you've shared.

      I can see that.

      What would you say are key characteristics to a no-code tool/platform?
