State Change is the best investment for those who want to build secure, scalable, and stable applications using no-code and low-code frameworks.

Shoutout to @Ray_Deck from #Statechange. If you ever face (really) tough technical challenges in the no-code world, he's a prime source for help.

I feel truly grateful for all the amazing people who have helped me along the way, so I'm paying it forward by taking the time to record these videos. It's a small way to give back and help others like I was helped. Huge shoutout to Ray @StateChangeAI #givingback #gratitude

Ray's superpower is his ability to listen and comprehend what is unfolding in front of him. He is equally good at explaining what is going on and teaching you through the process. I love Ray's mental models and the way he looks at things, and I appreciate his genuine sense of care.

Incredibily helpful in moving faster with development in Xano, and just helps to build more robust backends.

@ray_deck @StateChangeAI Thanks for the help! I stand by my quote "I learnt more in 60 mins from Ray about optimizing my Xano functions than I did in the months prior self-learning"

I'll start: @StateChangeAI is a fantastic paid community lead by the amazing @ray_deck "How To Solve The Hardest 5% of Your No-Code Project" - Covers various no-code platforms. I joined StateChange for assistance optimizing the performance of my Xano application.

I got so much out of this call. Having access to Ray's expertise is something that I'm really thankful for. He's saved me a lot of time and stress, and now I can move forward with my project.

It's a lifesaver, the "issue highlighting" has helped me to reduce errors to the bare minimum. Now I don't have simple excuses why a query fails (like, 'oh I didn't rename a variable'...). The performance analysis, function referencing lists and the keyboard shortcuts are all amazing and overall whenever I use Xano without this extension I feel like I'm stripped from the most useful tricks and utilities.

The single best investment I've made in my no-code/low-code development practice was joining Ray Deck's community, Statechange.ai. This screenshot is from a recent StateChange update, which makes it easy to search the StateChange vault and quickly find content to help you get unstuck. I also use the StateChange Xano extension every day. It's hard to imagine operating at a high level in this space without the support of this incredible community.

A wonderful review from @caffeinatedwes. We are all about the tough challenges.

As a newbie in Xano, having Ray for support is absolutely invaluable. His vast knowledge is also very important when asking about other territories so he’s a one stop shop for anything and everything our team has ever needed to clarify/enquire about. He’s worth every penny and more!

@t_o_m_b_a_k_e_r @weweb_io The second course will be out in a few weeks. It will be focused on scale & security. @slavopastor and @FBriou host office hours for agency partners. @ray_deck also helps a lot of WeWeb users learn about building professional web-apps during his State Change office hours.

Shoutout time: @ray_deck's statechange.ai community has been game-changing to my no-code skills and business growth. Previously, the toughest no-code/low-code technical problems took me hours or days to solve. Now, it takes a fraction of that.

My first purchase as a no code would always be statechange.ai @ray_deck has solved THE most painful problem in no code that one thing you just can't figure out but it would all work if you did highly recommend @StateChangeAI for @nocodebackend devs

I had no backend or api development experience prior to using Xano. It's an excellent no-code tool but I made plenty of amateur mistakes along the way which cost me time and headaches trying to troubleshoot by myself. As the complexity of my api layer has grown this extension provides first class oversight of existing or potential errors and saves me from becoming frustrated by my own faults. None of us a prone to errors. Install it now and immediately see what it reveals. Guaranteed to identify issues you didn't know were there.

This tool is amazing - as soon as I installed it, it pointed out various inconsistencies that I had in my Xano project which are not easy to find manually. It adds critical info to your Xano workspace while fitting in nicely with the existing UI. It also gently encourages you to follow a certain methodology, such as securing your documentation, and taking advantage of functions. Overall, I think this tool is great for any Xano user! Combine this with StateChange and you have everything you need to master Xano!

Xano users check this out, Ray has poured his knowledge from the 1000's of Xano problems he has helped the community resolve and made an extension to be able to help even more users. Beyond that his @StateChangeAI community is legendary and worth a look for sure!

Best part is the hands-on help you get during Office Hours, it's also nice knowing that I can drop a question in the community and know that it will get a response, which I can't say the same for other communities. I like how you'll push back on ideas and teach the "why" instead of always going straight to the "how". Also loved how the recordings started to get split up into searchable topics!

Really helpful to get the database schema with one click and easy. Thank you!!

What an incredible resource. Ray knows what to do, how to do it, why to do it, with a smile, sprinkled with historical background, best practices, and future considerations. Ray is buy far one of the best values my company can, has, and will continue to spend for. If you are on the fence, undecided, just do it, get Ray, and save yourself hours.

The help I received from the community. Especially Ray who made a video clearly explaining not just an answer to my problem but using it to teach and show me the different ways I can achieve it. Would 100% recommend this tool to any no-code builders!

Ray's superpower is clarity. He always lifts the conversation from the immediate problem to the bigger issue or concept. I learn every time I talk with him. His State Change community does this at scale - an easy recommend to every Xano customer.

Great tool for every Xano user!

This community is to NoCode what the Homebrew Computer Club was to personal computers

@ray_deck strikes again! 💥 The new @StateChangeAI Xano Extension has landed, bringing powerful tools to your Xano workflows. 📚 Struggling with documentation? Export schemas to DBML to make diagrams and docs a breeze. ✏️ Need faster edits in function stacks? Now, make table…

Tired of stumbling in the dark when building with Xano? Statechange's Power Tools is your guiding light! I'm serious! Building amazing things with Xano is exciting, but let's be honest, sometimes it can feel like navigating a complex maze blindfolded. You know there's a better way, a more efficient way, but finding it can be a real struggle. What if I told you there's a tool that not only illuminates the path but also helps you build stronger, more secure applications from the ground up? This isn't just another Xano add-on; it's a game-changer. Imagine having a built-in expert who analyzes your code, points out potential pitfalls, and suggests improvements you might have missed. That's exactly what this tool does with its powerful X-ray features. But it goes even further. It empowers you to create and update reusable function templates across all your Xano projects. This means you can streamline your workflow, ensure consistency, and focus on what truly matters: bringing your innovative ideas to life. This tool is about more than just fixing problems; it's about unlocking your full potential as a serious Xano developer. It's about building with confidence, knowing you have the tools and insights to create truly exceptional applications. As a daily advocate of Xano, an agency owner, and Xano trainer, do not let another day go by wondering if there's a better way. Take control of your Xano journey today. This Statechange power tool is waiting to help you build something amazing, the question is, "are you?"

For me, the ROI is almost laughable. I pay <$70/month for something that might already be saving me ~20 hours in the first month. It's not for every no-coder, but if you want to strengthen no-code mental models (especially w/ Xano + WeWeb), I highly recommend it.

The thing I love most about Ray is that he teaches me how to think like a senior dev and help myself instead of just giving me the answer. He equips me with the tools I need to solve the immediate issue and future issues.

Getting help from @ray_deck at @StateChangeAI is not only incredibly useful (help w/ hardest 5% of #NoCode building) but also entertaining. Today's line of the day: "Let's not die from a cold" in reference to something failing. 🤣🤣🤣

Ray offers a depth of knowledge that is hard to find elsewhere. Every time I connect with Ray I learn something new and cool.

The statechange Power Tools extension is a MUST HAVE if you are doing any serious development in xano.

.@StateChangeAI keeps being 🤯. @ray_deck gave me insight to a potential problem w/ my #UX pattern that reveals system data that I shouldn't in some cases. I'm a better #NoCode everyday I attend. He helps w/ those last 5% struggles.

In addition to specific solutions to my issues, I also received holistic advice on approaching my work. Ultimately preventing headaches from occuring in the first place.

Ray Deck is that rare combo of strategic, business, engineering, and no code expert. Great group!

Amazing tool. Xano is a great backend provider SaaS, but as with every SaaS, you cannot cover for every possible use case. That's where StateChange Power Tools was a game changer in our lives.

@ray_deck @nocodebackend @StateChangeAI Ray is a legend - if you are wanting to ship more with your no-code stack Ray will help keep you unstuck. I highly recommend statechange.

If you use Xano, you have to download @ray_deck’s Chrome extension, too good

In the Top 2 of most beneficial product to builders in no code IMO. And I've tried so many.

Fusion teams represent a transformative approach to software development, emphasizing the integration of business and technical expertise. This concept, championed by Gartner, underscores the shift from traditional, siloed roles towards a model where business professionals and technical experts work in tandem. Exploring it further with Ray Deck, the core idea is that business people, equipped with domain knowledge, can leverage low-code and AI-assisted tools to build software solutions, with technical experts stepping in to handle the more complex (and less core) aspects. This not only accelerates development but also ensures that the solutions are closely aligned with business needs. This represents a fundamental shift in software development. In the past, technical expertise came first – you needed to be a programmer before you could build software, and business knowledge came secondary. Today's reality suggests a powerful inverse: business domain expertise can lead the way, as modern tools have made coding more accessible. This shift creates a new paradigm where domain expertise drives innovation, and technical knowledge serves as a catalyst to unlock its full potential.

I would highly recommend SCP to any nocode founder out there. Having a dedicated community of smart like-minded people in your pocket is extremely valuable as you can get direct feedback on ideas and problems right away instead of spending weeks doing your own research and still not finding the solution you need. This is an investment worth making!

I wasted hours (30'ish), trying to solve an image upload challenge. Ray not only new what to look for, what to ask, but also did some scouting on the SaaS provider I was connecting to Xano. He knew what to do, how to do it, and answered all, ALL, my questions.

This extention is a must have for people working with the Xano platform. It helps figure out issues before you start testing. It's saved us countless hours of time and increased the efficienty of the endpoints that we have been building.
