Summary

The no-code community has grown significantly since 2020, with over half a million users, indicating that no-code is becoming increasingly popular and sustainable. A survey called the No-Code Census 2020 was conducted to understand the motivations and demographics of no-code users, revealing insights into how no-code impacts businesses, replaces traditional programming, and affects user experiences. According to the survey, no-code saves users a lot of time and money, more than four times what they would expect with traditional programming, and it is used by people who are often younger and work in smaller companies. The main difference between startups and small businesses that use no-code lies not in size or age, but in their business model and funding, with startups being twice as likely to receive venture capital funding. The survey aims to provide more in-depth analysis of the data in the future, including demographics and user experiences.
