Thunkable - Like Scratch, but for Phones (Friday Post)

"What if we put Scratch on a phone, and made it a bit different?" The result is Thunkable, an app and website created by the company of the same name, where you can design the layout of apps, and program them using a graphical interface similar to Scratch, with some changes. The software the app uses is based off of the MIT App Inventor, a website created for schools.

Thunkable is extremely user-friendly, allowing even the less experienced coders to build their own apps using its easy to use graphical interface. I've enjoyed programming things using the site and seeing what I've made come to life on their own Thunkable Live app.

I recommend this app for anyone who's familiar to interfaces like Scratch, as it's basically that but for designing mobile apps. It's also really fun.

Here's one of my projects done on the website:
