Building software without writing code has always felt more like a chore than helpful to me. I could never handle blueprints, Scratch, or anything like it. Google Opal is a good alternative, though, because it lets me describe what I want in plain English. It turns my prompts into applications without the usual overhead.

Natural language to visual logic

Hopefully, this means the end of dragging and dropping
