No-code
노코드
A way to build apps and automations by dragging things around on a screen or describing them in words, without writing code.
Overview
Building a program normally means writing code. No-code tools let you drag pieces such as buttons, tables and input fields onto a screen, and pick rules such as "send an email when this form is submitted." That is enough to build an app or an automation. Writing only a little code is called low-code.
More and more tools now build what you describe in words, so the line between no-code and vibe coding is getting blurry. They suit simple internal tools and prototypes. Their limits are that, as things get complicated, you hit the range the tool allows, and it is hard to move your work somewhere else.
An everyday example
It is like building a model house from snap-together blocks instead of baking bricks first. You can build quickly, but shapes that are not in the set are hard to make.
Why it matters
Small shops and teams with no developers can now build tools that fit their own work. With AI added, the trend of anyone becoming a maker is speeding up.
