We want to create a bulletin board app that allows us to share and share opinions with a specific majority of people. Here are a few questions if we can make it. 1. It looks like we could use local-DB, but I don’t know how to get started. 2. If you have an example apk file, please send it to ‘[Removed by moderator]’. 3. Can I use local-DB for comment format? ---

Hey @hyeyoonjeong89 , Perhaps something like Jane’s Aloha Forum sample app would work for you? > [@Aloha Forum - Chat App with Forums](https://community.thunkable.com/t/aloha-forum-chat-app-with-forums/77049): > > Update: Since this tutorial was written, the excellent duplicate components feature was added to Thunkable X. Instead of continuing this as an open project, I will link to Domhnall’s tutorial for a chat app that uses this feature [here](http://community.thunkable.com/t/making-better-chat-apps-with-the-any-component-blocks/151783/2). This tutorial can still be used to create a chat app with separate chat rooms, or forums. The aim of this project is to create a forum app. We have seen requests in the Community and in messages from users asking for advice on creating a forum app. As the initial… Also, I wouldn’t recommend posting your email address publicly like that. ---

I don’t think you’d want to use localDB. You are wanting your users to all be able to see posts, right? LocalDB is just that - local. Any of the other data source options would be a better choice. 🙂 ---

Airtable and Firebase are great choices! I’ve made a fully functional Chat App with Firebase(all features), and it works great. I’ve also made a social media app with Airtable. Firebase is good when you want only certain people to view certain data. Airtable is good when you want all your users to view all the data in your app. ---
