Add industry file: No-Code / Low-Code #195

Description

@glacierphonk

Task

Add a no-code naming guide at `industries/nocode.md`. Depends on #180.

Why no-code naming is distinct

  • Accessibility signaling — the name must say "you can do this without being a developer" without being condescending
  • "Easy" trap — names that signal simplicity can feel toy-like. Enterprise buyers need to justify "no-code" purchases
  • Builder/creator metaphors dominate — Bubble, Webflow, Airtable, Notion, Zapier. The "builder" territory is crowded
  • Power vs simplicity tension — the name must say "powerful" and "accessible" simultaneously
  • Visual/creative vocabulary — no-code tools are often visual builders. Design-adjacent naming works

Sections to cover

  • Case studies: Bubble, Webflow, Zapier, Airtable, Retool, Glide
  • Anti-patterns: "Easy[X]", "Simple[X]", "No-Code [Category]" — signals toy, not tool
  • Territory map: Canvas/studio, flow/stream, building blocks/lego, assembly/compose

Before submitting

Read CONTRIBUTING.md and run `markdownlint-cli2 '**/*.md'` before pushing.
