      Find out how to create an account — if you don't have one already — and how to use the Thunkable Web Editor for creating your applications.

    • Visible and Invisible Components Page

      Apps contain many different features. On Thunkable, you get to drag & drop which features - which we call components - go into your app. Some features you can see. Let's call these features visible components. Examples include buttons, loading icons, and images. Some features you can't see. Let's call these features invisible components. Examples include sounds, timers, and databases.

    • Code Blocks Page

      An app is simply a sequence of events. The best apps define an elegant sequence of events that happen without the user even noticing. A great sign in flow for example can happen in seconds but the logic and sequence behind them is a work of art that has been iterated on many times.

  • 02 — Variables

    • App, Stored and Cloud Variables Page
      In app creation, variables work like containers to hold numbers, phrases, the results of a calculation, a database call, or other important values in the app, in the mobile device itself or in the cloud. Instead of repeating these values in multiple places, a variable can be used wherever it is needed in your Blocks code.
    • Variable Types Page
      As you just learned, variables can take the form of multiple containers like numbers, texts or lists. Let's see what we choose, based on what we need in our app.
