No-code, explained simply
No-code tools let you build things with buttons, forms, and drag-and-drop blocks. You don't type code.
Low-code is close. You mostly click, but you can add a little code when you need to.
Say you want a form that saves answers to a spreadsheet. A no-code tool lets you set that up in minutes by connecting blocks.
