Can I build an app without knowing how to code?

Yes, for a real class of problems — internal tools, forms, dashboards, simple client portals — no-code platforms will get you a working system without a developer. The line is reached when you need custom logic, real performance, complex permissions, or ownership of the underlying data model. No-code is genuinely the right answer more often than developers like to admit. If a tool exists that does 90% of what you need, buying it beats building it every time. The failure mode is outgrowing the platform after two years of accumulated business logic, with no clean way to export it. Before committing, check whether you can get your data and your logic out.
