I used 9 Extensions last year :grimacing::grin:

Last year was my first time, so it was bit confusing for me. But this year, I am fully prepared :grin::cowboy_hat_face:šŸ„ø

Best of luck to everyone :partying_face:

How do you know that you will need extensions as the themes for this year are not even announced? I find it strange that users think that they would depend on extensions for making a great app.

The best will be to use extensions as less as possible.
Extensions really donā€™t increase your creativity and neither they enhance your logic building skills.

So try to use more in-built components.

It would Be kodular Then I donā€™t Need extension but it is Appinventor So I just Predicted the Amount Of extension Like just the Weather

#30

Agreed !

According to theme users select a app type and then according to its functionality, the extension comes in our story.

But extension inhances functionality/UI of app. (Its my experience, we can have different opinions. So no offence !)

#31

Yes I agree but Increases the UI quality and The Functionality Of our App

I will Try to use As less Extension as possible

#32

But appathon is about making apps and not about making/creating beautiful UIs.

What matters here is the productivity and logic used in the app so that it can be helpful to other people in the world.

I agree UIs is the head(front end) of the app but what about the body (back end). :joy:

Yes I agree

#34

Obviously, if a dev will make a good UI, he will definitely think of Logic/backend. Else there is no sense in just a good looking screen with no/less functionality.

What is the topic?

#38

Themes are not announced yet.
Their will be registrations on 1 June then later themes will be announced.

You should read the site.

#39

Ok, but during registration, should we also send the app?

#40

Nope, during registration you have to register yourself as a participant of the Appathon.
After that themes (topics) will be announced and then you will get time to work on the app. And then submit your app.
