In this (TedX) video Tara Reed describes how she built http://kollecto.com/ using "Bubble" without writing any code. blog post

Building software projects "without writing code" is not a new concept; there is a whole category of Graphical user interface builders which have been available since the mid-nineties. What is relatively "new" is the user-friendliness of these web-based tools means that non-technical people with ideas can "build" their idea and test something without hiring a developer.

So the Question is: Should we be encouraging non-technical people to build their "Concierge MVP" using a tool like "Bubble" or even Google Forms/Sites/Sheets ?

It appears to be a simple but "pretty" data-collection form with a human-powered-back-end (i.e. "Lean Startup Concierge MVP")
