App Design

This section of our site is still very new! We haven't had a whole lot of time to gather tools yet, though we will continue to build up this section throughout the year.

The best thing to do is to design your app on paper! Then prototype it in the tools you feel most comfortable with. This page doesn't yet describe how to actually program a app yet. We will gather tools for app development and deployment soon.

We haven't had time to testdrive all these apps. You can check them out yourself and decide if they are useful tools for you:
