The Adalo App Academy

Free courses to help you strategize, build, launch an app👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I’m David, the co-founder & CEO of Adalo. We help makers like yourself solve everyday problems — in your communities, organizations, & businesses — by making it super easy to build mobile & web apps, all without coding.

With the Adalo App Academy, we’re taking it a step further. We’ve put together an incredible library of courses & resources to help you throughout the entire journey of creating an app — from coming up with an idea, to product strategy, to design, to building your app, and then finally, to successfully launching & iterating on your app! The whole goal is to help you all bring your ideas to life by sharing knowledge about what works from industry experts. Learn at your own pace from other founders, freelancers, makers, and thought leaders – all for FREE 🎉

💡 Why did we build the Adalo App Academy?

Just a few years ago, people didn’t even think it was possible to make apps without coding. But no-code has come a long way since then. We’re seeing startups built on no-code raise millions of dollars in funding, we’re seeing thousands of organizations around the world create custom apps to help them run more smoothly, and we’re seeing no-code dev shops & freelancers start extremely successful businesses building apps for others.

Being able to build an app just by yourself or a few others without coding is incredible. However, now that it’s possible to do that, there's a new problem: there needs to be a way for each app-maker to learn all of those different skills that are required to successfully build & launch an app. You’ve got to become a designer, a marketer, an engineer, and a product person all in one!

That’s where the App Academy comes in. We’ve created a place for experts across all of those different skills to help teach you all the parts of the app-building process you need to know to be successful. It doesn’t matter where you are in your app-building journey, whether you’re a freelancer, dev shop, indie hacker, or no-code enthusiast, the Adalo App Academy has something for you!

✨What makes the App Academy different?

Most software products have help docs and simple practical tutorials for everyone to learn how to use their products. While these are certainly a part of the App Academy there are two key differences:

1. There’s a lot more than just how to build in Adalo here. There are even tutorials on products that aren’t Adalo! This resource is for all app-builders, no matter the platform.

2. It’s a community-based educational model. Community has always been one of our main principles here at Adalo. We love the no-code community and we think that’s one of the main reasons why no-code is so successful right now. We want to embrace that even more through our education in the academy.

We created one place to bring all of the knowledge that’s floating around out there… together. The Academy is packed with helpful courses taught by experts that have been there, done that, and launched successful businesses & they’re ready to help you join them!
