Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is a blog about how a busy mom with no tech background is able to make websites and apps and other cool stuff without writing a line of code. How?That’s where no code tools come in. These tools allow you to create websites, apps, or chatbots without any coding required. I joined a no code challenge, and was able to make a website and published it on the second day of my challenge with no code tools. How cool is that?<h2 class="slate-h2">What Is No Code?</h2>So what is no code, exactly? In a nutshell, it’s a way to create websites and apps without needing to learn how to code. It’s a visual platform that uses drag-and-drop tools to help you create your masterpiece. You can call it lego or building blocks.You might be wondering how this is even possible. But trust me, it is! I was in the same boat as you—a busy mom with no tech background. But I was able to learn no code and make websites and apps using no code tools. And I met some amazing people in the process.The best part is that no code allows you to create things that you never thought possible. For example, I created an app to record all my recipes so I can show them to my kids. They can view them from anywhere as it is a web app. This is to replace my physical recipe books which only have 1 copy, I cannot share it with all 4 kids. Haha. So I created an app for this.And I’m just getting started!

Let me break it down for you.With no code, there are no barriers to entry. You don’t need to have a tech background to be able to build websites and apps. All you need is some basic computer skills (which is turn on and off, yes, that’s it) and a willingness to learn. Before I know no code, my best skill was to create a calendar, worksheets, learning materials, and books from Canva. I cannot believe that I can make websites, apps, and chatbots now! No code tools are also really user-friendly. They’re designed for people with no technical knowledge like me, so they’re really easy to use. And the best part? You can learn how to use them in just a few hours.So if you’re a busy mom looking for a way to get into tech, no code is the way to go. You can build websites and apps without having to learn complex coding languages. And the best part is that you can do it all from the comfort of your own home with your kids running around you. Just like me!<h2 class="slate-h2">What No Code Tool Did I Use To Make A Recipe App?</h2>I use <a href="https://www.glideapps.com/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">Glide</a> to make my recipe app. I call it my family recipe app. I put a password to protect it, this way only my family members can see it to prevent my family’s secret recipe from leaking out. Haha. Glide is an easy and amazing tool to make an app. I can just snap a photo of my dish, upload it on the app and write the recipe with my phone. That’s it. The recipe is on the app,  which can be viewed on a laptop or phone. My kids love it. This way, when my kids grow up, they will be able to get their mommy’s recipe and able to make their comfort food. I just love the idea! And I feel proud of myself. Yay!Have a look here, or have fun with the app! <a href="https://zengs-recipe-app.glideapp.io/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">zengs-recipe-app.glideapp.io</a><h2 class="slate-h2">Pro Tips For Busy Moms Who Want to Learn No Code</h2>If you’re a busy mom who is looking to get into tech or learn something new but doesn’t have a tech background, learning no-code is the best way to go. Plus, the no-code community is amazing.

Non-Tech Mom In A No Code World

Today is my 38th birthday, and as always, it&#x27;s a mix of joy and sorrow. The happiness comes from adding another year to my life, but the sadness stems from the fact that today is also my late mother&#x27;s birthday. She&#x27;s in heaven now, and I miss her deeply. Sometimes, when thoughts of her overwhelm me, I find solace in private moments, shedding tears in the solitude of my room or the bathroom. I don&#x27;t want my kids to witness my vulnerability.I wish my mother were alive to witness the life I&#x27;ve built and to see my four wonderful children. It&#x27;s unfortunate that she passed away at a young age.Unfortunately, I&#x27;ve been unwell since yesterday, and I haven&#x27;t been able to create any content for posting or send out newsletters. Both my kids and I are under the weather, so there&#x27;s no cake or celebration for me this year. I&#x27;ve opted to stay away from social media today to focus on resting and recharging. The demands of social media can be challenging, as I strive to find my own voice and share meaningful content.

38th Birthday: A Mix of Joy and Sorrow

After 2 weeks of learning no-code, I managed to turn something that was on my mind for 2 years into a reality. With no code tools! How? I never imagined that!In this article, I’ll be discussing why and how learning no code turned my dream into a reality. Let’s dive in! 🚀<h2 class="slate-h2">Why Are You Learning No Code?</h2>Some people ask me why I learn no code.Well, I never thought of learning it. I don’t even know what was no code when I started the journey. It was just for fun, and it is free! (Yes, I love free things. I mean who doesn’t?)<h2 class="slate-h2">What Am I Going To Build?</h2>The other question comes in. What are you going to build by learning no-code?Nothing. I never planned to build anything. Really, I am serious. I mean me? Building techie stuff? Websites? Apps? I build a lot of things in my daily life. I am good at building Lego, setting up Hot Wheels tracks, and building Dollhouses, and solar ovens for my kids… But, building a website by myself? No no.I never thought I would be able to create a website until I learned no code. The thought of creating my website never crossed my mind. I had no idea what that entailed, and to me, it sounded way too technical.<h2 class="slate-h2">What Did I End Up Building?</h2>This is quite personal.I remember how I felt when I had my miscarriage 2 years ago. It was devastating for me and my husband. We both were sad but we kept comforting each other to make the situation better.Because of my experience, I know how sad it is when there is no one around who understands what a woman is going through, or how painful it is to lose their baby before even being able to hold them in their hands. I know I can do something with what I learn in every step of my life, and the motivation it gives.Then I came across a no code website builder – <a href="https://www.podia.com/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">Podia</a> during the build weekend challenge.My mind was telling me that I should be able to create a free email course to support women who suffer miscarriage and build a website with Podia. Besides that, I will be able to create a community within Podia too. That’s incredible!Boom. That afternoon, <a href="https://angelinheaven.podia.com/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">Angel In Heaven</a> was created. A beautiful website (Yes, I do think it is beautiful with my favorite color), a free email course (I still need to work on the details of the email course), and a community were created in no time, all thanks to the no-code tools.Wow, unbelievable. I sat down at my desk, holding my teacup, and sipping my tea and I just could not believe what I just did. I never thought of making a website by myself. This is like a dream come true, nope. I can’t say that. Because making a website was never my dream. I would love you to check out <a href="https://angelinheaven.podia.com/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">Angel In Heaven</a> and drop a line to share your feedback with me.<h2 class="slate-h2">Conclusion</h2>Is this the only thing I build with no-code tools? Nah, you may check out this <a href="https://zengs-recipe-app.glideapp.io/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">cool recipe app</a> that I built which I shared in this post of <a href="https://notchained.com/non-tech-mom-in-a-no-code-world/" class="slate-a" target="_blank">Non-Tech Mom In A No Code World</a>. Just tap the + symbol on the top right to add in any recipe and it will just magically appear on the app. And a few others I made with no-code tools which I will share in my future blog post.The ability to create something makes me feel amazing and I am surprised by what I can do. All thanks to no-code tools. No-code is a game changer and it is for everyone!To all awesome moms who don’t have a tech background in the world, let’s hop on the no-code train and build some cool stuff together!

Join me as I embark on a journey of no code learning and creation, and share all my AI art, AI and no code insights and experiences.

My Musings

I&#x27;ve once again lost my streak with WhoWhatWhyAI and PicAisso publishing.I&#x27;ve noticed that I have this tendency to constantly compare myself to others and worry about what they might think of my writing. It&#x27;s a habit that&#x27;s not serving me well, and I need to break free from it. I must find the courage to be fearless and keep my focus on what truly ignites my passion.I&#x27;m jotting this down as a reminder:DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS! YOUR PATH IS UNIQUE.
