IMO, the problem is that many of those tools are really not that reliable in the sense that they may go away soon.

It all takes a company to be acquired by M$, GOOG etc and then taken offline. For example, I lived through Google Appmaker (absolutely fantastic!) which was retired with 6 months notice.

It's really risky to build larger app on no-code platforms that you don't fully control via self-hosting. And I don't know great open-source/open-core low/no-code stacks that are easy to use and expressive enough. It would be great to get pointers.

I guess a the height of hypercard, that really wasn't really on people's radar.
