I recently saw two projects Ark and NULS mention they are building platforms that any developer will be able to use their services to build a blockchain in seconds. They already do the hard coding for you but instead create a lineup of modules that help anyone build a blockchain.

Has anyone tried either? What are your thoughts?

Was checking out their community board and it looks like they have one use case in the pipeline: a DEX based on smart contracts https://nuls.community/d/565-dex-top-nuls More projects and use cares are in the pipeline I am sure especially since they have their hackathon currently running 

If this ever turns out to be a reality, I see an era where all those projects that raised big bucks from their ICO but have no idea what they are actually doing would start building their own blockchain enmass and trying to collect more funds from investors, Hell, I would even open my own blockchain and call it the BeginToMine Blockchain.

Have you looked into either of these projects? I read on Nuls website that they are looking to reach any developer not just blockchain native

It's nothing to worry about.

Nothing compares building stuff yourself to work exactly the way you want. If this is true(I have seen similar projects though) it will only make things easier and cheaper for serious Blockchain developers. They will modify it and add more rich functionalities. While hundreds of unserious developers will use same templates which will  certainly lower the value of their Blockchains

If ithis project every becomes a reality, I imagine the kind of blockchains that would be deployed on it, we are in danger of being drowned by shitcoins thanks to ERC-20 tokens that allows every Tom,Dick and Harry to create a token, if they now have the capability to create their own blockchain, then I shudder to think what might happen.

In seconds? Then all solutions created on these platforms will be so elementary and not tailor-made blockchain solution for different uses.

Solidity IDE workspace are available in places where you can deploy the projects in seconds but other than scripts and coding need to be done by your own.
Still I did not try it but this is usual things you need to start the solidity development workspace.

Has anybody tried the NULS blockchain yet? I have been hearing a lot about it but I have not really tried it.
The prospect of building a blockchain platform without much work is attractive but it would be abused just like the ETH ERC-20 token has been abused.

To make the blockchain encoding I think it's very difficult, only programmers can make it. Because it makes the coding of the blockchain much different from making javascript coding on a website. Making website coding, I often do it. But I have never tried the blockchain coding.

If making a blockchain is hard for those with little to no programming language, that's how it's supposed to be. It's like telling a plumber to make a blockchain when they don't even the slightest idea how to go about it. On that note, I'd like to say that it'll be difficult for a project to make the process of creating either a blockchain or smart contract as simple and?noob-friendly as abc. If I remember correctly one startup (Sparkter) decided to do that and we know how it all turned out to be.

you have to wonder what would the "value" of a blockchain that is deployed in a few seconds by a newbie who has no understand of the technology is going to be when there are blockchain projects that have taken years to build by expert developers!

the idea of it alone is absurd.
the whole point of this movement starting with bitcoin has been to solve problems and create useful tools (eg a currency) that people could use not create something as quick as possible to earn money in easiest way you can!!!

Yes, if you already understand the language of the program, it's certainly an easy thing for them. But I think making a blockchain must be able to guard against all kinds of attacks, both virus attacks and hackers. If this is not able to be maintained it will be difficult to develop. Websites are often hacked, meaning that the language of web programs is very simple. Smartcontract code is also very simple, but the security lies in the blockchain.

Blockchain coding or encoding may be seems different in coding by programming language but it also may have the same procedures and logic but not all. Coding a programming language like java, c++, python and many more programming language is very hard and need to much time, hard work and knowledge in order for you to make a good program or output and when it terms to the blockchain encoding it would be hard because you need to fully known the different blocks in order to create the main logic of the program and the programmer and developer of it must be know how would be the program or the platform will run.
