Yaokai Jiang

I'm Yaokai Jiang, a software engineer. I made this nocode tool Momen with my team mostly to scratch my own itch, which can be summed up with: "building an MVP and scaling it". I am a software engineer by both training and trade. As I was working on various side projects before starting this company, I came to the realization that I was repeating the same process: cloud server -> database...

Text2SQL for the BI ppl? Or owners / execs of a company? I do like the connectors a lot. Data silos are the worst. How do you deal with different field definitions when you import data from third party? Also how frequent are the synchronization?

Regular training sessions are essential.

Claude for almost everything. I use chatgpt for writing and running python scripts. Github copilot in vscode

Well, even with a technical background (i'm a seasoned backend engineer), when I'm not careful, I get lost in the hundreds of lines of code it generates.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is the end deliverable an html page or an blog website? How does it post to my site? What assumptions does it make regarding how my site is built?

Life-time deals sound like a reversion to how software used to be sold. It does provide quite a bit of perverse incentive to the seller. (little incentive to maintain)

Yes. A good software engineer can easily pick up testing, even automated ones, not vice-versa

DMs can be a double-edged sword though. Too much energy spent on each, you run yourself into the ground. Too little, then it's equivalent to spamming. Delicate balance, very difficult to get right.

Lol goes to show how pointless most papers are...

This soudns like @Voice Aloud Reader (an android app I often use to read web pages) with auto generated content! Any plans to make it support additional / custom sources?

My take is that this question should really be split into two sub question: Is the platform scalable in terms of performance? Can products built using a no-code platform be maintained and iterated upon? Regarding performance: save a few giants like facebook / amazon, I would argue that 99.9% companies will never exceed 1m users. So if a platform can support a 1m user base, which I would say...
