We have not done poorly. Atall. "no-code" is a whole movement now - it's the modern day COBOL. See:
* Airbase (imagine circa 1998 Microsoft Access but on the web and with integrations)
* Infinityapp.com
* Monday.com (easily recreate your business processes and types of data, and integrate with other systems)
* Asana
* ....dozens more.
Then add the universal integration tools:
* IFTTT
* Zapier
* Tray
* ...and many more
Basically we're now "post-app"... a non-technical user can go to a SaaS product, follow a tutorial, create something representing their business, and link it to other best-in-class products for accounting, warehousing, shipping, e-commerce, etc.
Don't be ashamed. We've a long way to go for sure, but we've come a long way, baby.
