Launching the Thunkable Gallery & Thunkable PRO
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the Thunkable Gallery and Thunkable PRO.
The Thunkable Gallery is a public collection of projects, where anyone can view, download and remix apps built on Thunkable ✕.
Our hope is that the Gallery will showcase amazing projects, inspire the Thunkable community, and dramatically reduce the time it takes to build apps.
For example, if you’re looking to build an app with specific features — like a login screen — you no longer need to build one from scratch. You can remix an existing one from the Gallery.
New Features
When you build apps on Thunkable ✕, they will be public by default and visible in the Thunkable Gallery.
And if you don’t want your apps to be public, you will always have the option to keep them private with Thunkable PRO.
Thunkable PRO
With a Thunkable PRO membership, you have the ability to create both public and private projects.
Public projects will be visible in the Thunkable Gallery, where they can can be viewed, remixed and downloaded by other Thunkers.
Private apps are just that, private. They are only accessible to their creators and will not be included in the Thunkable Gallery.
A Thunkable PRO membership is available at $20 per month or a special introductory offer of $100 / year (regularly priced at $200/year). And because we want to say thank you for your amazing support, all Thunkers who signed up for Thunkable ✕ before October 10, 2018 will receive a complimentary PRO membership for three months.
What you should know
All projects created on Thunkable ✕ before October 10, 2018 can remain private forever with no cost.
If you don’t want your existing projects to appear on the Gallery, please go through your personal app library and decide which apps to keep public or private.
To set your projects to public or private, click the “details” button on a project. You can then click the Public/Private switch.
For public projects, we recommend adding a description of the project to let other users know what the app is and how it works. You can do this by selecting a project, clicking on the project name and entering text in the Description field.
The Future of Thunkable Classic Android
Apps built on Thunkable Classic Android will remain private and will not be included in the Thunkable Gallery.
During the coming months, we plan on building out Thunkable ✕ to become the most powerful app building platform in the world. This includes adding dozens of new components and features, such as AdMob, bluetooth, blockchain, cloud communications, gaming components, etc.
When we do this, we anticipate most folks will move over to Thunkable ✕, since it will be better — more features, cross-platform, large gallery, etc.
As a result, we plan to stop supporting Thunkable Classic Android in late 2019, and dedicate 100% of our resources to Thunkable ✕.
This means that in late 2019, you will no longer be able to create or modify Thunkable Classic Apps. We will give more guidance on our plans for Classic in the coming months.
We are actively in the process of growing our engineering team, so we hope to be able to launch features sooner rather than later.
If you have any questions or concerns, please see our FAQ or write to me personally at arun.saigal@thunkable.com.
As always, thanks for thunking.
Warm regards,
Arun Saigal
CEO and Co-Founder of Thunkable
