not really. It's an alternative to plugins or options. It's closer, in most cases, to a DSL with a visual, human-friendly UI.

Building a website with a visual tool is such a case, but for different types of software such as mobile apps, internal dashboards, ERP, etc etc, you need different types of no-code software. Some CRUD tools like Baserow or Knack can be seen as some sort of CMS, but all the others are very different in spirit and goals.

So basically anything that’s extensible or customizable?

No-code goes further then the "configuration" level and its features are very generic, to make endless use cases possible.

It’s a meaningless term then. Is Apache “no-code software”? What about Windows?
