Why I switched from React to Webflow: Pros, Cons, and My Self-Taught Developer Journey

I wanted to share my coding journey as a self-taught developer and talk the reasons behind my switch from React to Webflow. I discuss the pros and cons of both platforms, sharing insights that led to this transition. Whether you're a developer contemplating Webflow or a no-code dev considering learning a framework like React, I hope this video helps you in making an informed decision.

Hi, my learning journey is quite similar to yours and I am thinking about webflow too now. But as you said, it comes with its own limitations. So you can only build static or not much dynamic websites with it. So I don’t know if it’s good for finding a web development job and, of course, it is not suitable if you want to work with clients as a freelancer that are looking for a full fledged complex web app. I am kinda stuck hahaha What do you think? What are your plans? Great video btw :)

[@Diego_Cabrera]

It's not as limited as you might think. There are many examples out there of developers creating membership platforms, e-commerce, and much more. It comes down to the path you want to take. If you enjoy building web apps, continue learning web development. However, if you simply like building websites, I'd recommend Webflow. I believe it would be wise to choose one and stick to it. I know it's easier said than done, but it's the only way you'll stand out from the crowd - by becoming an expert at your craft. As for my plans in 2024, I intend to continue my journey as a freelancer and content creator.

[@QuizMirai]

@@Diego_Cabrera Yes it makes sense. Do you also do the UI Design work for the websites right? And how are you finding clients? I was thinking about Upwork cause in Italy pay is quite bad hahaha even tho I have heard bad things about this platform. I am quite scared about diving into freelancing ngl but I think I want to give it a try. Content creation is great too, I am doing that with this channel, tiktok etc short-form content work very well imo Keep it up with these videos and you will reach 10k subs soon ;)
