What if you could turn your app idea into reality—without learning to code? Dan Hafner, software developer and no-code evangelist, joins The Iferia TechCast to reveal how he built a thriving app development business without ever writing a single line of code. From validating ideas to scaling startups, Dan breaks down the no-code movement in plain terms.
You’ll learn:
- How Dan’s company, Dapper No Code, transforms vague concepts into sleek, functional apps—fast.
- The surprising complexity no-code tools can handle (spoiler: it’s more than you think).
- When to choose no-code vs. traditional development—and the trade-offs most founders ignore.
- Dan’s top no-code tools for beginners and why AI won’t replace developers (but will change their roles).
For engineers, entrepreneurs, or anyone curious about the future of software, this episode is a masterclass in democratizing technology.
