   Conclusion

There is no single list of the most common mistakes in no-code app development
since, already in 2022, endlessly different no-code tools can be found on the
market.

Somewhere this is the level of creating a simple landing, somewhere no-code
development is as close as possible to classical programming (for example,
AppMaster.io). Accordingly, it is impossible to bring errors under a single
denominator. We have singled out in a separate TOP those errors that we often
heard from modern no-coders in our community.


CHOOSING A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING A NO-CODE APPLICATION

Very often, the choice of a no-code tool for developing an application can be a
mistake. There are times when most of the work has already been done, and it
suddenly becomes clear that it is simply impossible to implement the necessary
function or feature on the platform.

For example, the no-code tool Flutter Flow can upload flutter code; you can
create custom actions on it. However, for now, Flutter Flow does not have
several simple functions (search by keyword, filtering, visibility of objects
under conditions, and so on).

Adalo is a relatively simple tool in terms of layout: everything is easily
moved, deleted, replaced. But Adalo is difficult to adapt for specific design
needs. On Adalo, you can make PWA and native applications.

PWA is a website that mimics an application. PWA has some disadvantages:

 * depending on the browser and browser version;
 * missing features, unlike native applications;
 * problems with iOS (camera, motion sensors, access to SMS, contacts, and
   calls) and the impossibility of uploading to the App Store without additional
   shells.

You can build a reasonably complex web app on Bubble, but you can't make a
native app on it. There are many integrations, but they are more challenging to
implement than in Adalo.

Many no-code platforms export the application to a binary file. Everyone has
their format for recording such a file, so there are enormous difficulties when
"moving" the application. This is good if the no-code platform allows you to
upload to CSV / JSON / SQL.

AppMaster.io creates native applications and clean, human-readable source code
uploaded and integrated anywhere. Therefore, it is better to choose the no-code
PRO-level platform for complex projects.

And even such high-level tools should be understood before the start of
development: for example, the no-code platform with PRO positioning, Directual,
works on JavaScript, so you need to try hard to ensure the reliability of the
application.

AppMaster.io works with a modern and adaptive language, GoLang, and allows you
to generate about 22,000 lines of code per second.


LACK OF CLEAR TECHNICAL TASK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NO-CODE APPLICATION

This error logically continues the previous one, or rather, the previous error
is its consequence. The lack of a completed technical task for the application
project leads to the wrong choice of tools.

One thing is being developed, and towards the end of the development cycle, a
decision is suddenly made to add entirely new features. Moreover, this is no
longer possible on the selected tool: either it is associated with a complete
rework, or it cannot be done at all on this platform. You need to look for
another tool or create complex cross-platform integrations.


NO SCALING PLAN FOR NO-CODE APPLICATION

Often, when developing an application, the further life of the project and its
scaling in the future are not thought out. For example, migrating to another
database or moving to a separate server.

Successful projects overgrow and need new features and functionality that can
only be done on more complex no-code pro-level platforms like AppMaster.io or in
classic development.

The goal of most applications is to increase functionality, the number of users,
orders, etc. Suppose this is a small product that solves a simple problem for a
small number of users (for example, an application for a restaurant or a
cleaning service). In that case, even a simple no-code platform can be a
complete solution.

However, for example, to develop a platform for collective investment in real
estate, you need to work on the backend seriously, prescribe complex formulas,
build relationships — you cannot do these without a severe no-code backend of a
pro-level platform. Therefore, it is crucial building the entire application
path at the very beginning, taking into account future scaling.


PLACING THE BUSINESS LOGIC OF AN APPLICATION ON THE FRONTEND

The following common mistake is placing app business logic on the front end. The
front end cannot pull out the business logic of a full-fledged application. It
leads to constant errors, freezes, and the complete impossibility of the
project.

For example, the no-code platform Adalo is far from the most powerful and
functional backend. Using Adalo you can build simple logic for a small number of
users. With an increase in the number of users and the complexity of
interactions between them, it will not be possible to use Adalo.

Bubble is only suitable for web services and PWAs. For native applications,
Bubble is entirely unsuitable.

In this case, integrations will work well. For example, AppMaster.io provides
features such as connecting to any front end where there is integration through
endpoints (Adalo, Bubble, etc.), a powerful backend with complex logic and
bandwidth for an unlimited number of users.


LACK OF DATA SECURITY

Also, no-code developers often do not care about data and API security; data is
constantly leaked. For many clients, this is crucial. The company's security
policy often does not allow storing data on third-party servers.

No-code services quite often store data on foreign servers, and the laws of many
countries oblige customers to store personal data on servers within these
particular countries, and so on.

Few no-code platforms provide options for uploading source code and storing data
in different clouds and on different servers for their security. AppMaster.io
provides such an opportunity.

Often, when creating an application, you need to receive data from outside. For
example, to find out the weather forecast or stock quotes. Then there is a need
to connect third-party services.

On the AppMaster.io platform, additional functionality can be added using
built-in modules or an external API request editor. The list of modules is
growing, and each of them can be added in just one click. Working with an
external API allows you to create any solutions and expand projects by easily
connecting various third-party services with an open API.

For example, the Validators module checks the user's general data (bank cards,
TIN, etc.) for compliance with the format. The Crypto module allows to perform
cryptographic operations: data encryption and decryption, generation of private
and public keys, generation and verification of an electronic digital signature.

The IP Filter Module provides software to filter endpoint requests based on IP
addresses.


TURNING THE PROJECT INTO CHAOS

Novice no-coders quickly turn a project into a complicated mess to figure out.
They do not take out frequently used functionality into separate functions
(business processes).

AppMaster.io is characterized by a more professional approach to business logic
and visual programming than in-game engines like Unreal Engine. AppMaster.io has
an advanced Business Processes Editor that helps solve this problem. Unlike
similar tools, AppMaster.io allows building business processes of any complexity
without restrictions.

In the Business Process Editor, processes are built using blocks. Blocks are
interconnected using connectors that specify how operations are performed, and
data are processed. Each block can contain both an atomic operation and complex
logic. Moreover, each business process can represent a block of another process.

The Business Process Editor makes the process of creating a database more
convenient. All models and connections between them are displayed in the
workspace in a diagram in front of your eyes. You can connect models by
stretching an arrow from one block to another. It reduces the possibility of
creating chaos and debris in the project hundreds of times. You see everything
you do right in front of you.
