Master’s Thesis: Request for Quick Feedback on Low-Code Platform Requirements
Hello everyone,
I am a master’s student, currently working on my thesis in the field of low-code development. I have compiled a list of requirements and would like to determine how well the platform meets them. It would be sufficient if you could simply respond to each requirement with “yes,” “no,” or “partially.” I hope it’s alright that I’m posting this here. I’ve tested the free trial versions extensively, but I’m still not entirely certain if this platform suits my needs. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
