Common Flairs
Who's Here
Enterprise developers, IT professionals, and citizen developers using low-code platforms. More corporate-focused than r/nocode. Many work in regulated industries or large organizations with specific compliance needs.
Common Mistakes on r/lowcode
Avoid these pitfalls that get marketers banned or ignored.
Conflating low-code with no-code
Low-code typically involves some coding and targets different use cases than no-code. The community takes this distinction seriously.
Instead
Acknowledge the differences: low-code extends developer capabilities, no-code replaces coding. Both have their place.
Ignoring enterprise concerns
Many low-code users work in regulated industries. Posts that ignore security, compliance, or governance miss the audience.
Instead
Address enterprise requirements: "How does this handle SSO? What about audit trails? Can it integrate with our existing systems?"
Promoting without vendor disclosure
Many platform vendors lurk here. Undisclosed promotion gets called out quickly and damages credibility.
Instead
Be transparent: "I work for [vendor]" or "Disclaimer: I'm affiliated with this platform." Honesty is respected.
Oversimplifying complex implementations
Enterprise low-code projects often have significant complexity. Trivializing this alienates experienced practitioners.
Instead
Acknowledge complexity: "This took 3 months with a team of 4. Here's what we learned about scaling."
Focusing only on speed-to-market
While low-code accelerates development, enterprise users care equally about maintainability, testing, and long-term viability.
Instead
Balance speed with sustainability: "We shipped in 6 weeks, but here's our testing and maintenance strategy."
