## 📢 Use Lowcoder in 3 steps
|
||||
1. Connect to any data sources or APIs.
|
||||
2. Build flexible and responsive UI with 120+ components and free layout / design possibilities.
|
||||
3. Share with colleagues and customers.
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Why Lowcoder
|
||||
One platform for everything instead so many different softwares. (like Website Builders, CMS, CRM, POS, ERP, Dashboards & Data Story Visualization, Collaboration Tools).
|
||||
|
||||
It's cumbersome to create a single app. You had to design user interfaces, write code in multiple languages and frameworks, and understand how all of that code works together.
|
||||
|
||||
NewGen Lowcode Platforms like Retool and others are great for their simplicity and flexibility - like Lowcoder too, but they can also be limited in different ways, especially when it comes to "external" applications for everyone - because their pricing focusses to internal apps and "pay per User".
|
||||
|
||||
With Lowcoder we did a step forward. More specifically, Lowcoder is:
|
||||
- An all-in-one IDE to create internal or customer-facing (external) apps.
|
||||
- A place to create, build and share building blocks of web applications and whole websites.
|
||||
- The tool and community to support your business, and lower the cost and time to develop interactive applications.
|
||||
- The only platform to embed Lowcode Apps natively in Websites (no iFrame!)
|
||||
- The only platform where you can build your own Meeting Tool - like Teams, Zoom or Google Meets, - just in the Lowcode way.
|
||||
- The only platform which has extensibility plugin architecture [Check Community Contributions](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=lowcoder-comp)
