@@docwilliams thank you so much for the prompt response and wealth of information

[@docwilliams]

@@marioncoleman6714 no problem! Please keep me posted on your progress with your project!

[@fumiot]

Thank you so much Doc. Great teachings.

[@docwilliams]

Glad to help!

Found this very informative. Any tips of what's best to use for a dog trial where person can check who's next on the list?

[@docwilliams]

Thanks! I'm not really familiar with dog trials. Is this what you're talking about? Dog trials, also known as field trials, are competitive events that evaluate the performance of hunting dogs in a mock hunting setting. If that is the case, I would check out FlutterFlow or Toddle. Hope that helps! Feel free to add more details if I'm missing something.

That’s So Cool! 😎 Can You Do A Deep Dive On Struckd & Jotform?

[@docwilliams]

Thanks! Oh that's a pretty interesting idea. I'll see what I can do!

[@roylynbowers8]

Ok!

[@techguystech]

Your videos are extremely helpful to get a sense of all the low code options out there. Because to build an app is a major investment of time and energy so it really helps to start with the right tool.

[@docwilliams]

Thanks! I appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@aquabhi3773]

Hi Doc, I've really enjoyed this video - what website do you think I should use to make an app that helps students plan their time? And also is there any way to get money from this idea not including ads?

[@docwilliams]

I love it! I would use Softr or use buildbox to do this. Please keep me posted on your progress.

[@andreaweaver4353]

Hi! I’m not a technical person so I’d like advice on what program would work best to help my clients access my meditation and movement videos, as well as simple writing prompts and daily check in assignments. A membership fee would need to be included.

[@docwilliams]

@@andreaweaver4353 hey! Great question! I would go with Softr www.softr.io/?via=doc

[@cloudpillsdaily]

loved it💛💛💛 can you please deep dive on replit and chatgp handson?

[@docwilliams]

Glad the platform was helpful! I'll be releasing a video in the next few weeks with further details!

[@StealthHaTcHeT]

With the least startup possible what do you recommend for starting an app like Uber and Lyft but for a small business?

[@StealthHaTcHeT]

I have a basic idea of coding from FIVEM dev work but can also use AI as well

[@docwilliams]

Prob I would go with FlutterFlow

[@docwilliams]

FIVEM like fivem.net/? I would prob look at buildbox perhaps if it no code but for full control I would prob look at unreal hope that helps!

[@CaseyGrace-c2d]

Great videos! I know nothing about coding but I've known DIY apps was a "thing" and figured I'd see if I could figure it out. I need an app to integrate with google sheets and sent text notifications to my employees. Essentially a clock in/out time tracker, BUT I want them to also allocate their hours to various projects or administrative work. All the existing time trackers require you to stop/start for each project. That's a waste of time for my guys moving from piece to piece. If I was going to do this on my own, what would you pick?

[@docwilliams]

Thanks! Great idea! For that use case I would prob look at Glide (depending on the number of employees this still could be a cost effective option). For more advanced platforms I would go with FlutterFlow or Toddle.

[@KingOfTheJungleEntertainment]

Hi, im wanting to create an app that is a combination of linkedin/zip recruiter and instagram. This would be like for just a certain art industry. I envision 3 different membership styles with each having tiers. The three memberships would be shops/artists/clients. What might be the best one to start with? I have no coding skills so keep that in mind. Lol

[@marioncoleman6714]

Trying to build for medical wellness support. Seems softer may be helpful?

[@docwilliams]

Could be a great option for you. Depends on what support looks like but softr is a great platform to start with

[@mariahwithhearts]

I appreciate this video. Would you be able to give me a suggestion for which may work better for creating an intentional living daily planner app?

[@docwilliams]

No problem! Probably flutter FlutterFlow. Depends on the features you need a simple answer might be paperform.

[@mariahwithhearts]

@@docwilliamsThank you!

[@cocorobin325]

what should i use to build a language learning app?

[@docwilliams]

Depends on the exact features but probably FlutterFlow or Buildbox

[@S4lahmcr]

Appreciate this bro

[@docwilliams]

No problem!

[@sneakysqekysnek5986]

If i am just making a basic app to track resources and army numbers which would you recommend?

[@docwilliams]

I would probably need more info but bubble or toddle can definitely handle it

[@coderyt_og]

can u help, i want to create an social media app where we can see shorts etc, which is best way tto create or website

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! Are you asking for a platform to create shorts on the platform or a platform only to see shorts from KZbin but that are appearing in your app? Also what is the main objective or goal of the app? Thanks!

[@coderyt_og]

@@docwilliams like an individual app where people can upload their shorts and follow others. { thanks for replying fast }

Which app could I use in creating a graphic design and logo with posters

[@docwilliams]

Are you trying to do graphic design and logos like canva? www.canva.com/ Or are you trying to create a platform for users to create graphic design etc?

[@ideeskdo9495]

Great content Doc. Which app for quizzes ?

[@docwilliams]

Thanks! For quizzes, I would go with Outgrow outgrow.co/ or or paperform paperform.co/?fp_ref=doc43

[@jessflorence8390]

Biggest question I’ve been having is which one gives you the most bang for your free buck. I don’t want to spend extra time learning all the different app building options only to find that it won’t work for my needs. Simply need a one stop shop landing page for members of my youth group and parents. Built one in Adalo I really liked but ran out of storage pretty fast

[@docwilliams]

Great question! Depends on the size of the files you're saving you might run into needing to pay for additional storage using Supabase or Pocketbase but in general I would prob go with toddle- toddle.dev/

[@melissakopec8024]

I am looking to create an app for my wellness studio for clients to book, pay for services and create a page to show all services

[@andregustavolr2k22]

What are your tips for creating a language learning app no code?

[@docwilliams]

I would start looking at duolingo and how they create their community process.

[@djWARRIOR]

Pls create tutorial for build box tutorial, pros and cons also how to monetize em and possible scalability. Thanks.

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks for the comment! We'll see if we can add that on the schedule in the future.

[@djWARRIOR]

@@docwilliamsthx & toddle seems interesting too.

[@lorenahawkins7196]

Hi. Great video. I’m looking to use an app for a membership site instead of FB groups. So I want an app where people can connect and interact, be able to do live video, and ability to upload a things like a course community. Anything like that out there. Oh yeah…and charge for the membership. thanks.

[@docwilliams]

Great question!

[@mikewilliamsii6478]

Hello, I am trying to make a stock inventory app with equipment check in/out for our organization, I want the app to look nice while having animations, be able to publish it so I can send the app within members of our team to either view or make changes to it. And then also to have a steep learning curve, expandability, animations, full features and in the event that we want to grow in using this app to have the affordability to do so as this would just be an internal app.

[@docwilliams]

Goodtimes! I would prob go with FlutterFlow for that use case

[@mikewilliamsii6478]

@docwilliams I tried flutterflow and I won't allow you to publish the app, so I can't send it out to people, looking for something like a progressive web app tp where people on ios and Android can download it

@@docwilliams maybe I did it wrong but when I tried it would load and wouldn't go through

Hey! What link are you looking for?

[@MigoGang]

Can you make a video on which sites I can use to build a betting app/website? I learn a lot from this video btw

[@MigoGang]

Sports betting *

[@docwilliams]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos! I had to take down a lot of videos doing with sports betting because of terms and conditions so I’ll have to look into that. In general it is very hard to develop apps for sports betting because of the regulations needed to create a sports betting app

[@MigoGang]

@@docwilliams thank you I appreciate your feedback because as I’m sitting here taking notes I’m realizing that may be something I’ll have to comeback to later when I have the funds to develop it

[@SportzUnfiltered_]

What if you want to make a sports media app

[@docwilliams]

Great question! It's possible but I would need more details on the functions you would need for a sports media app. Are you going to be showing live scores from specific sports? Are you trying to make an app like the Athletic or bleacher report? Thanks!

[@SportzUnfiltered_]

@@docwilliams yes

Am i wrong or he missed Canonical?
