I need to make an app of an existing website (which I own)

Questions about Thunkable

  1. I searched and found some posts about importing webapis (not what I’m looking for), or for an otherwise unexplained term ‘webviewer’ but as a rank newbie with Thunkable, the first, simplest thing I need to be able to do is take a website I’ve already invested a lot of time getting to work and make it available as a mobile app. I have several PWA makers (that I don’t like) and paid for the Advanced package so I could build native apps that I could at least start by importing my existing websites into. Given it’s the basic function of a PWA, I have to assume it’s one of the most basic things I can do with Thunkable too, but I just can’t find any simple way to do it yet.
  2. I’ve searched under every related vocabulary terms I can think of (Thunk of???) but none of the terms seemed to find a matching result that helped.
  3. I need to be able to do this over and over and over again as I have a wide range of related apps I’m building to match their corresponding websites too.
  4. I DO want to add more functionality on the app if possible, but that can wait for version 2.0 if needs be.

It would be good for the staff to answer this but I’ve used Thunkable for quite a while and I don’t believe there’s any way to do that. Yes, there is a Webviewer component that can be used to display html or run javascript but it’s not going to allow you to import a website (other than for display).

I suppose there might be a way to export your website and then import it into Figma which can then be imported into Thunkable but I haven’t tried that.

A) THANK YOU! I definitely appreciate the response and the insights.
B) Crap! It’s the primary reason I paid for this thing. #FourLetterWords!# Okay, well, I’ll definitely have to talk to the team and see if this is still a fit for us.

If you have a responsive website, then you can take the url of your website and put it into a webviewer. The webviewer should render your website or any website you put in the webviewer.
While testing, I would reccomend using the Thunkable Live app so you don’t run into any CORS issues that commmonly occurs in web preview.
