From what I can tell yes. It’s intended to imply something more.
See bubble for example - https://bubble.io . It’s basically “visual” Rails. The intention is to allow users to build complex, interactive software visually, without having to write code.
Webflow has a ton of plugins that can get you something similar. You can have a user model (memberstack.io) with authentication and even the ability to create user specific content. I was able to create a fairly complex user dashboard that had real time charts pulled from an Airtable database that was synced automatically with user interaction using Zapier.
...but, here’s the issue. You just can’t do enough. I made it about a week before I abandon the idea and went back to Rails.
I’m still bullish on the idea of no code though. The tools are there. They just need more functionality.
