 * Being able to write an app in php as a “snippet” makes WordPress useful for anything
   more than a brochure or blog. I can connect to my own databases from in a snippet,
   send emails, process forms, you name it, just like a real website. For me “no
   coding required” is frightening enough but no coding allowed would be a deal 
   breaker. It’s official: coding is allowed thanks to this plugin. I used to write
   my own plugins for this, but with the block editor that got too complicated. 
   This is instant.
