faaark, I can imagine the code produced by this - may IT gods have mercy on us..

For the amount of effort needed to understand the software and grasp programming concepts, it's simpler to just focus on learning to code.

  For real, this software looks unnecessarily complicated.

  This has to be pinned to the top of comments.

  No, No. I run a small Software Development firm. We've made a mint of these low-code solutions. Largely, rebuilding them in an OO Framework :)

Programming without coding 😂

From the screenshots, it looks like you’re definitely coding, just in the most unintuitive way possible.

Pfffffftt..

this doesnt have anything on Codehero! a kickstarter i actually backed in 2014

" Code Hero: a game that teaches you how to make games! Your Code Ray shoots Javascript in Unity 3D. Hack the planet: Become a code hero! "

was it worth the $10 i backed… maybe… did i play longer than a hour maybe not… does it exist… yes

This involves coding 'using the Ring programming language', which looks awful. A better alternative for learn programming visually is Scratch by MIT.

If anyone's actually interested in making some simple code without much experience, chatgpt and Visual Studio Code can get you pretty far. 80% of the time the code has worked straight away and if you start small it's not that hard to debug issues, the compiler will tell you something obvious (ie color_black is deprecated, use black instead) or just google the errors, it's a lot easier to learn and understand the mostly correct code than trying to start from scratch.

I've made a handful of esp32/Arduino/home assistant Configs with chatgpt and have been pleasantly surprised.

  As someone taught to use test driven development, I twitched at this comment. If it works for you it works for you, and for small scale things it'll probably be fine, but any sort of scaling or addition / modification of features later will get exponentially more difficult without near complete test coverage.

Great until there is a bug, then what? If you can't code you are screwed. Also, note you will become "locked in" to a pretty niche platform. Not an issue for small scale stuff, but wouldn't want to put anything serious into this

Non programmers probably think they can create their own version of Tinder using this and 1 week later become a millionaire.

A coding software on steam? Thought it was a gaming platform.
