I Made $500 by Creating an App in an Evening Without Coding (+Proof)
Making money online/passive income posts have been all over the place both on Medium and on Reddit.
I have already shared a similar story where I explain (in some detail since it was a long time ago) how I made $1000 by creating a Mobile Game without any coding.

The crazy part?
I made it with ZERO coding using the website Thunkable. No, I’m not sponsored by Thunkable but I would love to:)
What is Thunkable?
Thunkable is a website where you can build mobile apps without coding, simply by creating the logic behind the app using blocks. You simply drag and drop the elements you want to create the UI (User Interface) and then play around with the “blocks” to determine how the app will function. It allows for the use of APIs (application…
