New Micro Startups For Sale 🚀 - No-code vs Custom Development

Ilya Novohatskyi

Hey folks.

This week I helped a few founders to make successful deals.

Our team started rebuilding Microns landing page to give more clarity and information to the new users. Found lots of stuff that can be improved.

Besides this, you’ll find an answer to a question from one of the followers who asked about the pros and cons of no-code tools and traditional development.

I wanted to visit Mariupol because I heard many positive things about this city from my friends. But now, 90% of this beautiful place is destroyed. We always have one chance.

All people pray for Azov troops. These people won’t give up till death.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to our heroes.

🎉 Recently sold project

Last week, Raja successfully sold his project and wrote a post on Indie Hackers about his journey(the actual price is disclosed).

Startup with no revenue but with incredible potential is a great target

The most exciting thing is that the startup is only one month old. The founder scratched his own itch and earned $1,000 from this acquisition. It was his first experience selling a project.

🙋‍♂️ Question from follower

Mighty Investor

Hey, @ilyanovohatskyi!, what are your thoughts on building apps with no-code vs. traditional tech stack? I know you have experience in both. When does each make sense?

10:42 PM - 18 Apr 2022

Answer: Based on my experience, no-code apps are easier to start with, launch, and validate with users/revenue. But it’s so hard to customize and scale them.

Traditional tech is more about customization and things that cannot be achieved using no-code tools.

So, I’d recommend starting with no-code tools and moving to the standard code approach when the time comes.

Building MVP with no-code instruments is essential to ensure that you get ROI if you decide to move to the custom development.

A step change has happened in modern software design.

Google Docs is dead.
Powerpoint is dead.
Gmail is dead.

Old, large companies are being disrupted by newer, UX driven companies.

Here's a list of every startup replacing an existing large company and executing perfectly.
