GitHub Spark Spells Trouble for No-Code Platforms [Video]

On Sunday, GitHub chief Thomas Dohmke teased upcoming announcements with four cryptic photos on X, sparking excitement among developers for what’s next. One of the images featured a firecracker lighting up the sky, hinting at GitHub’s new launch, Spark, which allows developers of all skill levels to build apps in natural language and bring their ideas to life. 

These micro apps, known as ‘Sparks,’ are fully functional and can integrate AI features.

“For too long, there has been an unscalable barrier to entry separating a vast majority of the world’s population from building software. This can change with GitHub Spark, our new AI-native tool to build applications entirely in natural language,” said Dohmke.
