Hi Keith, I still remember when Autocode was called Stdlib. I liked the old name a lot better :)
For us at Hypermachine, we are tackling the problem by upgrading an existing low code platform - VB6/VBA. Our hypothesis is that pure no-code platforms are too limiting and inflexible for anything outside of the predefined connectors/widgets/use cases. There is a still a large gap between "call any arbitrary API and program" and "build a CRUD tool quickly". It is also a lot easier to convince users to use a platform that has been tried and tested for having a low barrier of entry than trying to teach full stack web development from scratch.
