Hello everyone,
Every week, I see a new ncScale feature natively integrated with no-code tools. That’s awesome for users—the latest one is the Zapier feature, which allows you to find and replace static content or variables across all Zaps.
Together with Kevin - my co-founder -, we brought our contribution to this field by creating many products to enhance Security, Monitoring, and Performance for no-code apps. However, the competition from the tools themselves, along with their API limitations and native interconnections, does not allow us to secure a profitable long-term position today.
We have made the decision to shut down ncScale, but we will continue supporting this market we care about—starting with this newsletter!
Cheers,
Benoît de Montecler
ncScale co-founder
1️⃣ WeWeb growth has 5x across all KPIs (signups, activation, revenue). WeWeb has introduced enhanced control over app components, enabling users to edit code both automatically via WeWeb AI and manually. This update includes features for immediate change comparison and versioning, enhancing workflow efficiency. A new Assets shortcut in the top navbar also streamlines navigation to essential libraries and resources within the platform.
2️⃣ Zapier launched find and replace values in Zaps! It is now easy to maintain multiples Zaps. When you're in edit mode, you can also quickly replace an instance or all instances of the term. Edit faster and more easily than ever! Zapier has also enhanced error handling in Functions, allowing users to implement try-except blocks with detailed error classifications for better management of workflows.
3️⃣ Retool launched a Private beta for Retool Database UI improvements. The improved interface makes working with tables faster and more intuitive. Retool has rolled out several significant updates in its latest release, including a new Drafts feature that enhances privacy for app developers, allowing them to create a personal folder for development and testing. The App Inspector now supports direct access to multiple settings without selecting individual components, improving usability. Retool also introduces in-line actions for automatic performance optimizations and actionable recommendations for common performance bottlenecks.
4️⃣ Bubble’s integration of Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet into Bubble AI has brought major improvements to user interface design and output quality, making AI-generated results far more engaging. They are also developing AI-powered editing features.
5️⃣ Glide has integrated new AI capabilities with tools such as Pinecone and Google Gemini, significantly improving functionality for developers. A new course on Udemy, titled 'How To Build An App Without Code,' is available to help learners develop essential no-code skills while recent deliverability issues with PIN emails have been resolved, enhancing communication reliability.
6️⃣ n8n has seen a surge in forum traffic, leading to an increase in unanswered questions. The support team is actively hiring to manage this influx, while the community is encouraged to help fellow users by answering questions and earning points for their contributions. n8n will host an upcoming meetup in Barcelona to enhance community engagement, spotlighting user automation projects and fostering collaboration.
