#PRODUCT HUNT DATABASE SOFTWARE#

No-code has opened the gates for an entire class of non-technical makers and founders who were previously limited by NOT having a software programming background. No-code is no longer just a utopian idea but with the rise of modern tools like AirTable, Webflow, Zapier etc, the disruption is already happening. The world will be a radically better place when people's ideas can be unchained from the 'code barriers' allowing them to build and share simple apps that solve real problems. It was both entertaining but also fascinating how real these stories felt. In addition to just visitors, the site was also attracting a lot of founders who wanted to share their stories with the community. So in about 5 days, I brought this idea from a mere scribble in my notebook to a functioning product. It uses Airtable as the database and the front end looks like a polished site. As a non-developer, I was researching on Twitter (my feed is 90% makers and products) for no-code tools and chanced upon an elegant product called “Table2Site”. Inspired by Ben Tosell and Mubs, I decided to just build and ship it myself. This also further validated my assumption that people would like to learn about this topic. It reached astounding engagement numbers and shot up to #2 thread on the home page raking more than 260+ comments. So I made an honest ask to the people on Hacker News, the no#1 community for startup founders to share their war stories.

I felt the need to extend the examples listed in that essay.

I was inspired by Paul Graham's essay about doing things that don't scale. I used Table2Site, Airtable, HackerNews and Twitter It has 15,000 monthly users and on it's launch day ended up being #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. I have built, a curated database of unscaleable hacks and stories from real founders. I'm a no-code maker who also loves writing, community and thai food.
