Thunkable UI & Blocks
UI
Thunkable provides a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface for building mobile applications. With Thunkable's UI editor, you can easily design and customize the layout of your app's screens, add interactive components like buttons and text inputs, and style your app with various fonts, colors, and images.
Key features of Thunkable's UI editor include:
-
Drag-and-Drop Interface: Build your app's UI by dragging components from the palette onto the canvas. Components can be resized, positioned, and customized using intuitive controls.
-
Pre-built Components: Thunkable offers a wide range of pre-built UI components, including buttons, labels, text inputs, images, and more. These components can be easily added to your app and customized to suit your needs.
-
Responsive Design: Design mobile apps that look great on any device. Thunkable's UI editor allows you to create responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.
-
Preview Mode: Preview your app's UI in real-time to see how it will look and behave on a mobile device. Thunkable's live preview feature allows you to test your app's UI as you build it, making it easy to iterate and refine your design.

Blocks
Thunkable uses a visual programming language based on blocks to define the behavior and logic of your mobile app. With Thunkable's blocks editor, you can create complex app functionality without writing a single line of code. Instead, you simply drag and connect blocks to build your app's logic.
Key features of Thunkable's blocks editor include:
-
Drag-and-Drop Programming: Build your app's functionality by dragging blocks from the palette onto the workspace and connecting them together. Blocks represent different actions, events, and conditions, allowing you to create complex behavior with ease.
-
Event-Driven Programming: Define how your app responds to user interactions, such as button clicks, screen swipes, and text input. Thunkable's blocks editor allows you to create event handlers that trigger specific actions in response to user input.
-
Control Flow: Use blocks to control the flow of your app's logic, including loops, conditionals, and function calls. Thunkable's blocks editor provides a variety of control flow blocks that allow you to create powerful and dynamic app behavior.
-
Built-in Components: Thunkable offers a library of built-in blocks for accessing device features, such as the camera, GPS, accelerometer, and more. These blocks allow you to incorporate device functionality into your app without writing low-level code.
Examples of Blocks
With Thunkable's UI editor and blocks editor, you can build sophisticated mobile apps with ease, regardless of your programming experience.
Our Blocks
Below are some examples of the actual blocks used in SoundScribe. These blocks are translated into JSON and XML by the Thunkd tool for version control purposes.
