People want to interact with their devices in ways that fall outside the blessed functions permitted by the corporate designed pattern deemed appropriate for them. If corporate UI works for you, that’s great for you, but it doesn’t for everyone.
In the short term, perhaps. If someday Google decides to stop publishing open source updates to Android, though…
Eventually all the ROM teams would have to either massively ramp up their development responsibilities to cover every aspect of an aging Android codebase, or shut down as users leave because their project is dangerously outdated. Or probably both, because even if they tried to take over development, what ROM team is going to have the resources for that on a long term basis?
Hmm okay, that’s true. I guess there’s another aspect missing from my description above then: no-code is for doing tasks in ways that resemble how you’d do them with code, but without directly using code.
Think about the nodes in Blender or Node-RED, or the blocks in visual scripting for kids to learn. It’s using the same concepts of code, but with varying amounts of abstraction depending on which example we look at.
WordPress is a CMS, that’s true, and is usually how it’s described. Specifically, though, the block editor is what I assume the OP was referring to as no-code. That part of WordPress is abstracted more than a tree of nodes in Blender, but they’re both examples of an effort by those softwares to make doing those tasks more approachable to users.
Inkscape could probably also be described as no-code if you squinted hard enough, since it’s letting you manipulate SVG tags directly without needing to open a text editor and know the SVG spec.
On the off chance you aren’t being intentionally obtuse to troll:
No-code is a term that refers to the perspective of the end user. Of course it is built using code, that’s not the point. The person ultimately using it doesn’t need to use any code to construct whatever the tool is enabling (automatons, websites, etc), which massively increases the target demographic who can use the tool.
People need to stop posting content to YouTube. Quit giving them new leverage.
Even the linked article whines about how they don’t want to use Peertube because “the audience for the content is 100x smaller” but that’s at least partly a self fulfilling situation. Of course they aren’t going to have a large audience on Peertube when they don’t post anything there. Mirror your old content there. Upload new content there instead. Advertise your Peertube channel instead of YouTube.
There’s not going to magically be a huge audience out of nowhere on alternative platforms, it takes content creators to migrate first.
It wasn’t meant to be confrontational, sorry about that! I’m not judging anyone who is comfy with the stock experience, just saying that it’s not for everybody.
