What code /nocode resources helped you learn how to build your MVP?
I'll go first with Meander...
I wanted to make sure that I could build everything I needed until we had enough revenue to hire an experienced technical team. Here are the courses and tools I’ve found to be most effective, a minimal viable training plan for a minimal viable product:
Backend / Data:
- Introductory Python: Python for Everybody Specialization (free)
- Applied Data Engineering / Machine Learning: Datacamp Career Tracks ($25/mo)
- AWS Basics: Ultimate AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate ($14)
Frontend / UI:
- Bubble: Introduction Course (free)
- Intermediate Bubble / Canvas: AirDev Bootcamp (free)
- Logo Design / Collateral: Canva (free to $10/mo)
What courses / tools have you found helpful to build your MVP?
Webflow's free plan is the best tool to get a highly detailed MVP front end designed. It actually teaches you good design practices using Flexbox that is industry standard. Now that Bubble.io has introduced a Flexbox based design system, you can use the two interchangeably depending on how much/less interactivity you want from your MVP.
I've heard great things about Webflow, and built my first nocode app there a couple of years ago. My Zapier + Google Sheets backend kept breaking so I moved to Bubble and have enjoyed the experience so far.
Bubble is amazing once you get through the initial learning curve, which gets lesser and lesser by the month with all the great work their team does. Also worth keeping in mind Webflow will be releasing logic and conditional capabilities this quarter which will mean some fully fledged web apps can be built all inside Webflow, without the need for Bubble or Zapier. Exiting times ahead!
