The No-Code Era Is Here: Why Businesses Are Turning to No-Code Solutions

When a business needs a new system, it traditionally has two options: buy an off-the-shelf product or build its own. Off-the-shelf is cheaper but may not fit perfectly; building in-house costs more but matches every requirement. In recent years, a third option has taken off: Low-Code/No-Code development.

Build a Branded LINE Official Account with the Messaging API

More and more brands are setting up official accounts on social platforms, mainly to connect more directly with their friends through social interaction. With the Messaging API from LINE Developers, brands can connect a chatbot to their LINE Official Account and engage friends in richer one-on-one conversations. Even the low-volume LINE OA plan can connect to the Messaging API through LINE Developers.

How We Hit 80% Attendance at a Free Offline Event with a Chat Community

2020 TeleLens DemoDay is a wrap! Thank you all for joining. With rain that day, we were worried about turnout for a free event, but the final check-in rate was 83%.

Understand How Your Friends Use LINE: Build a Chat Community Tailored to Your Users

When a LINE or Telegram chat community turns into one-way broadcasts, it becomes nothing more than a business pushing ads at users. Social platforms and ad platforms alike are working hard to serve personalized content, so a chat community can't just push the same message to everyone. The first question to ask: in what situations do users interact with you through your LINE Official Account?

How Can LINE User Tagging Power Precision Marketing?

After completing the LINE Official Account 2.0 upgrade early this year, LINE has kept strengthening its features to deepen connections between brands and friends. In the second half of the year, it is focusing on “maintaining friend relationships” and “stronger identification,” letting the dashboard segment users more finely so brands can group friends by attributes as they interact and later send tailored messages based on each group's traits and preferences.

Telegram the Chameleon: Is Cybersecurity National Security? Telegram's Love-Hate Relationship with Governments

Telegram promises the highest level of confidentiality for user data and has refused to hand chat records over to several governments. That promise fueled its rapid global growth: it reached 400 million monthly active users in just six years. Interestingly, in Taiwan, brands moved to Telegram before users did because LINE raised its prices, which had nothing to do with security or privacy. In Taiwan, Telegram has become one more option for running communities across platforms.

[Tech Talk] Headless Raspberry Pi Installation

Raspberry Pi basics: the Raspberry Pi is a Linux-based single-board computer. It's tiny, yet it comes with plenty of built-in ports such as USB, HDMI, a camera interface, and a Wi-Fi module. Its development ecosystem is mature, so you can build all sorts of things with it. I recently bought an Echo Dot and plan to hook it up to some infrared devices at home, so I dug out the Raspberry Pi 3 I bought a while back.

[Tech Talk] Python 101

When it comes to coding, most people spend the first five minutes learning print(“hello world!”). It seems fun, but it's actually useless. So why does every software engineer teach it this way?
