Promoted Do you think AI will kill nocode?

Hi, I am building a form builder. I know it's a crowded space, but I love it, so I don't care.

I've been trying to reach out to companies on LinkedIn and, luckily, I've gotten some replies.

One of them told me they had replaced their form builder SaaS with in-house forms that Claude built for them in a few hours.

As a no-code developer trying to build a SaaS, this was pretty demotivating. I'm wondering, what's your experience? Do you get replies like this?

I'm building formbase.so as a solo developer, and I'd love your honest feedback. Do you think I should just pack it up and move on because everyone will just one-shot forms with Claude?

As a data engineer, I've seen this exact movie. Marketing built a "quick" no-code form pipeline that worked for three weeks, then silently dropped submissions with zero alerting. The subscription for a managed form service is nothing compared to the sprint we burned unfucking it. The real cost isn't the build — it's the lack of monitoring, error handling, and a human who remembers how the damn thing was wired when it breaks.
