Summary

After getting started with the first video in 2005, YouTube is now a cornerstone to modern video content consumption. A no-code web app development platform called Bubble empowers users to design, develop and host fully-functional web applications without writing a line of code. To build a no-code YouTube platform, you'll need to register your free Bubble account, follow introductory lessons, and start building your app. The main pages of your app will include a home page showing all the latest videos, a profile page displaying user information and uploaded videos, and an upload video page for users to upload their content. You'll also create data types such as User, Video, and Comments to store and retrieve user information and video data. Workflows allow you to define pieces of logic in the form of "When X happens, do actions A, B, C" statements that connect what users see on the page with the database behind the scenes. You can add features like user signup, uploading videos, and displaying uploaded videos using workflows and repeating groups. Bubble also offers templates, plugins, and paid plans to help you build and launch your app, making it possible to create a video platform without any additional costs.
