Kodular :kodular:

Dear Koders,

We would like to introduce our new brand and trademark name:

[center][color=purple]Kodular[/color] :kodular:[/center]


What happend with Makeroid :makeroid:?

We wanted to have something unique, something which can easily identify us. Makeroid was composed by “make” and “andRoid”, and both words were used a lot nowadays
Also, containing the word “Android” on the name restricts a little bit our possibilities. As AppInventor is working on an iOS version, it wouldn’t make sense to be called with something containing Android and offering something releated with iOS


Why Kodular :kodular:?

Well, it took us several days to decide a new name. We finally made up a word which can suit us: Kodular

The word Kodular comes from joining two words:

  • Kode → This derivates at the same time from Code. We decided to add a K to it to make it different from the normal word. We pretend to tell that we provide a pseudo-code service, so it’s better calling it using a different word but at the same time similar
  • Modular → We provide a “modular coding” service. Also, we will change our products names from services to modules, in a way we will provide different modules for app development such us the Creator or the Store

We also want to say that the word Kodular in Estonian means “the core”, so we think it perfectly suits us in a way we provide the core of the introduction to coding

If you are wondering how to pronounce it, it’s really easy to figure it out:
As it comes from Kod+ular, then just join each word’s pronunciation and you will have it: /koudular/


We know changes are hard to accept, but we are sure you will like our new name as soon as you get used to it :blush:

Happy Koding :kodular:

Didn’t exactly understood what you are trying to say.

If you are asking about the change log or the updates that the current version provides, then please refer to this below post

I was testing my app and it suddenly stopped working… (i couldnt use companion as it didnt take me anywhere after scanning the code).

I had to search what could have caused the issue… spent almost an hour to understand that Diego will push companion update.

Wanted to know, if we can have dashboard or noticeboard kind of stuff which will inform users about planned releases??

So that, users can sip cup of tea during the updates :smile:

Yeah, we always make releases to update everything within a minute
But as on this release we also had to rename names, it’s taking more than usual
Sorry for all inconveniences

i was still checking with old makeroid (hate to say :frowning: ) companion!!!

Team I am not sure why your name was changed to Kodular. I suggest you to register a trademark to keep the name secure and unique. Usually few smart guys in the market tries to kill the good platforms. I would suggest team @Diego very best of luck with your new name.:+1:

Thanks
Abdul

I just though my PC got hacked and open wrong site…thanks God :sweat_smile:

There are some places are still referring to old name:

  • The “Builder” tab in the community.
  • In Kodular Companion’s app description:
    • Starting from : “You can also check our servers status…”
