18 Open‑Source Low‑Code/No‑Code Development Platforms for Individuals and Enterprises

Low‑code/no‑code development platforms use graphical wizards to build software instead of traditional programming languages. They provide visual development tools, drag‑and‑drop interfaces, component browsers, and logic builders, a concept dating back to early visual programming systems but only recently gaining traction.

Today dozens of low‑code platforms and services have emerged, proving the approach is useful beyond rapid prototyping.
