What it is

Blocks-based app builder that lets you wire logic visually and assemble screens with ready-made components.

Who it’s for

Students, educators, and founders who want a fast path to a working app without managing a full codebase.

Core Features

  • Drag-and-drop UI and block-based logic.
  • Built-in components: navigation, media, forms, device APIs.
  • Connect to data sources (Sheets/REST) for dynamic content.
  • Preview and publish for iOS and Android.

Typical Use Cases

  • Educational apps and classroom projects.
  • Simple utilities, prototypes, and demos.
  • Event apps and lightweight content apps.

Considerations

  • Advanced customizations may require workarounds or a dev handoff.
  • Performance-sensitive or highly bespoke apps fit better in dev frameworks.
  • Plan navigation and state early to keep blocks organized.

Next Steps

  1. Start from a template and define your core flow.
  2. Hook up data, test on devices, and gather feedback.
  3. Add polish and prepare store assets (icons, screenshots, privacy policy).
