The problem is that no-code is not well-defined. It's used to label everything from Excel to Airtable to Zapier to Webflow to Bubble to Retool.

And within that umbrella, some of them are relevant to the HN crowd.

Your examples, like spreadsheets for supply chain planning or DAWs for music production, are indeed disconnected from what developers touch. Your Ableton projects don't concern them.

But other times, the tool very much impacts developers. For instance, I work on https://www.plasmic.app, which lets marketing teams build landing pages and other content on React websites. Here, the stakes are higher when it comes to page performance, design system consistency, component reuse, and so on. As such, developers heavily vet the tool, similar to picking a CMS, and virtually all of our customer adoption was driven by developers.

So relevancy to devs depends entirely on what specific tool/use case you're talking about.
