I have absolutely no idea how to code. Closest I have come to coding is writing sql queries. In last 4 months, I have explored many no code platforms to build my startup. My goal was to minimize time to market. Sharing my experience with these tools...
1. Glideapps: http://glideapps.com
I created my entire MVP for free using glideapps (check it out: http://app.steerme.in ). It uses google sheets as backend & provides super easy process to create beautiful frontend. I shipped v1 of my MVP in 5 days using glideapps

2. Integromat: http://integromat.com
All automations (email, calendar, sms) are facilitated by it in Steerme's MVP. It's as simple as joining 2 dots & specifying some conditions. No api, no code has to be written. It took me 1 day to learn + 3 days to deploy all integrations

3. Calendly: http://calendly.com
Steerme is a mentor network where students can find and talk to college mentors. Scheduling for us was a primary functionality. We created 100s of calendlys for booking mgmt & it was a breeze! My first POC was via a calendly link (10 min

4. Godaddy website builder: http://godaddy.com
We purchased our domain name at godaddy. This is a shoutout to their website builder. I've tried WordPress, but godaddy website builder was easy enough to get the job done in 2 days. Be wary though, it has very limited features

5. Typeform: http://typeform.com
We collect mentor/student feedbacks after each call. It's super easy to use + beautiful.
6. Google forms: http://forms.google.com
We use google forms for mentor registrations. Integration with sheets really helps
Time to mkt: 15 min

7. Instagram: http://instagram.com
For us, Instagram is primary method for user engagement + acquisition. In addition to this, it helped us:
a) Increase engagement via insta live
b) Get structured user feedback via stories
c) Evaluation of usecases via deep post analytics

8. Google analytics: http://analytics.google.com
Glideapps connects directly with google analytics. Like any other analytics tool, we can create funnels, understand user flows, monitor key metrics etc.

10. Whatsapp click to chat : (google it)
I feel this is a feature that should be talked about more. You can make a link to send whatsapp messages to unsaved numbers. Can also provide a text to quickly send messages across. According to me, every B2C MVP in India should have this

11. Google sheets: http://sheets.google.com
Steerme runs on google sheets!
It's our app backend, planning tool, content management tool and what not.

In addition to this, I would love to get some no code recommendations for following:
1. Payments integration (India)
2. 1-1 chat (alternative to sendbird)
3. Call masking (India)
4. Blogging for SEO
5. Whatsapp for business API
(Still evaluating solutions in mkt for these)
