Datrics, a new no-code tool helping FinTech companies create and deploy machine learning models, is currently Product Hunt's #4 Product of the Day after just launching on the platform. Datrics offers a drag-n-drop interface to enable "self-service analytics," and strives to help companies improve credit-risk models in days as opposed to months without needing to code. 

More:

• The platform is only charging for private deployments, so the web version is available for free here, where you can connect your data sources — whether they're databases or CSVs — and create your models.
• Datrics claims it saves over 400 hours for each analyst by automating and scheduling data preparation and reports visually.

🔦 Resource Spotlight: Launch MBA's community manager Harry Harrington has launched a new database consisting of over 1,100 tutorials categorized and organized across 46 no-code tools dubbed "The Ultimate No-Code Tutorial Database."

More:

• The resource covers the major tools in the space, including Bubble, Webflow, Airtable, Adalo, Zapier, and much more.
• Harrington originally created the database for the Launch MBA community and himself while he learned no-code last year.
• Lifetime access costs £5, or about $6.80.

📚 New No-Code Tutorials:

• Makerpad published a blog post teaching no-coders how to create a site or e-commerce store on their mobile phone using no-code tool Universe. You can also check out Makerpad's brief course guiding you through the process here.
• Bubble released a video course on Custom States, teaching no-coders how to show/hide elements on the page, run calculations, create to-do lists, and so on without using your database. 
• Notion teaches users how to add permission groups to pages so that select team members can see certain content.

No-code company Blobr, a startup that aims to help non-technical product and business employees expose and monetize a company’s API, raised €1.2M, or roughly $1.46M, in pre-seed funding. Short for application programming interfaces, APIs make it possible for multiple apps to talk to each other. 

More:

• Founded by Alexandre Airvault (CEO) and Alexandre Mai (CTO), the two believe the no-code tool will spur more innovative use of APIs. “We believe companies should stop thinking of APIs as mere pipes and start building them as products to unleash their power,” says Airvault. “This means APIs should be priced, customized, and managed with a user-oriented mindset and not only a tech one.”
• By giving product and business owners the ability to “make data-sharing a profitable model" without the need to code, the co-founders argue data exchanges will move "to the next level."
• The round was led by Seedcamp, with participation from Kima and other angel investors. European venture capital firm New Wave was also one of the investors involved in the round, making Blobr the first company to take investment from the firm since it confirmed it had closed $56M in deployable capital.

Airtable announced three new ways to look at, create, filter, and edit views on mobile. The platform revealed that Kanban views — which make it possible to see your work organized by stage — and gallery views are now available on the iOS versions of the Airtable app, in addition to the default grid view.

More:

• The new views are available on all Airtable plans.
• To create, edit, or look at a kanban, grid, or gallery view, tap the “View” menu in the upper left side of your Airtable app. After you've created a new view, it will remain available for use in the view menu. 
• Separate, but related: earlier this week, Airtable-powered no-code web app and site platform Softr raised $2.2M in a seed round.
