codeless
No typing required
Codeless describes software development or tools that require no programming knowledge.
A codeless platform lets users build applications through visual interfaces—dragging, dropping, clicking—rather than writing code: The codeless website builder lets anyone create pages in minutes.
Often interchangeable with no-code, though codeless tends to modify the tool itself while no-code describes the approach.
