Hello, my app idea is similar to [ourfamilywizard.com](http://ourfamilywizard.com), which means I want to develop an app for shared parenthood. It would need to have a shared calendar (colored according to each parent), a chat feature, a document repository, and expense log (with something like approval, invoicing, and P2P payments). Is this doable with Thunkable? Thank you.

Ok, so you have the ideea. Its a start. Now you need to split the ideea into components. Then check [THUNKABLE DOCS](https://docs.thunkable.com/) for each component you want to implement to see if it fits your needs.

My personal thought is that is almost nothing you cant do in Thunkable.

I think the most crucial functionality (component?) for me would be a shared calendar, where both users (the child’s parents) can use. I’ve been looking around for this feature in other no-code builders.

Another thing that worries me is that thunkable doesn’t run in the background. Does that mean the user will not get a notification when he gets a new message in the chat, if app is not running?

Thank you.

You _could_ use the webviewer and use a custom coded FullCalendar setup to display/manipulate events. But if you want a easy to use shareable calendar as a requirement, you’ll need a different builder.

You could also build a calendar but this isn’t terribly easy. Easier with JavaScript knowledge.

I’m yet to find an app Builder that has a shared calendar… Do you know any? Thank you.

Originally it was just a way to give herself a tiny reward for meditating every day, but it eveolved into a crowd-funding success, raising over $600,000. My goal for this app was to create someth…
