Usage beats technical capabiliity - every time

When the internet first emerged it was damned hard to use. Creating, posting and distributing content - it was all do-able. But you needed the time, patience and inclination to work out how.

Then (eg) Facebook came along. The internet with training wheels on. Anyone could play. 2.8bn users later - everyone is a publisher now.


We need the Facebook moment for application and workflow development. Yes, a plethora of no-code/low-code drag-and-drop solutions promise much. But most are no more user-friendly than a typical Wordpress blog.


Low-code/No code has been with us for a long time now. Yet no vendor has delivered the UX to match the experience of a Facebook.


Imagine how rapidly a solution could scale through an enterprise if it enabled everyone to build apps and workflows as effectively as the social software experience enables everyone to publish.


Usage beats technical capability every time.
