  This article has been submitted like four times and gotten hardly any traction, it's an example of how self-serving articles from corporate blogs get perceived as spam and rejected. It's kinda too bad because it's an interesting topic.

  Doing business development for an area that intersected with "low-code/no-code" about 10 years ago I came across Lotus Notes which was based around a document database with syncing, something that hasn't quite gotten mainstream since, which is an odd thing since it's been necessary throughout the mobile age (was even demanded when I was speccing out a mobile app circa 2005) but has been rejected as spam like most advances in databases at the application level.
