NON-TECH MOM IN A NO CODE WORLD

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?

What Is No Code?

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! If you’re interested in learning more about no code, I’d recommend checking out the 100 days of no code challenge by Max Haining. That’s how I got started in this no code world!

Why Is No Code The Best Way for Busy Moms To Get Into Tech?

You may be wondering why no code is the best way for busy moms to get into tech. 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!

What No Code Tool Did I Use To Make A Recipe App?

I use Glide 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!
