Thunkable

What is Thunkable?

Thunkable is a no-code platform that enables users to build native mobile apps without writing any code. The platform features a drag-and-drop interface, allowing designers, developers, and non-technical teammates to create powerful apps in a matter of weeks, rather than months. Thunkable's two main components, Designer and Blocks, provide a user-friendly way to design the app's user interface and program its functionality, respectively The Designer component allows users to add various UI elements, such as buttons, text boxes, and Google Maps, to the app's screens. It also enables the inclusion of non-visible components, like SMS receivers and NFC sensors. The Blocks component offers a blocks-based programming language similar to Scratch, making it accessible for novice programmers while still being sophisticated enough for experienced developers to utilize advanced features like functions, variables, and callbacks Thunkable is a cloud-based tool, eliminating the need for users to download large development suites, command-line kits, or simulators. The platform's real-time testing feature allows users to see their changes instantly on their devices through the Thunkable mobile app. Additionally, Thunkable makes it easy to publish apps directly to the Play Store or share them with friends
