@codeemaker as long as you have a /projectPage/ link or a published web app that you can share at the end then I donât see why not?
So, I was in more of a games than an information sort of mood. And my app had to involve poodles, while pretending to stick with the theme, travel and culture. So⌠without further ado, I present you with an early draft of Poodle Doodles Travel Agency.
Try it here: thunkablecompanion
Feedback and bug reports appreciated! (And unclear directions.)
The game is functional, but the closing screen is almost absent (instead of being a cute postcard from the poodle to her familyâŚ), and Iâm not totally happy with layout/theming on the main screen. (I wanted it to work on both a small phone, the web, and a tablet. That was a big challenge.) And directions are probably marginal.
Monday update: Directions improved. Started working on a closing screen that displays a postcard with results. Layout is hard. Still working on it.
Tuesday update: Directions improved more (need to add more images). Closing screen getting closer. Decided to quit trying to make both orientations work. New link here: thunkablecompanion
What an interesting approach! I went the information way, but looking to add some fun stuff after seeing yours. Hope you donât mind!
the best idea i could come up with was an app to track places visited and after toying with the idea i realized i was building a bucket list tracker in the guise of a tourist app. so i said, why not make it generic so it could track places visited AND any other list to keep track of.
iâm embarassed to submit it as an entry because it is so simple and it has only these 4 functions:
the datasource is one google sheet workbook but constructed to allow any number of lists to track.
the first screen shows the available lists being tracked - currently it shows two places_to_visit trackers but it could have been showing addional lists of books to read, foods to taste, etc. by simply editing the google sheet. the 2nd list shows the items that belong in the tracker list selected. clicking on an entry leads to screen 3 - for updating an item as having been DONE (it also serves as a toggle for un-doing what has been marked DONE before).
hereâs the link to the project.

it requires a google sheet (with name of buckmast ) and hereâs a public link to my version.
So next time youâre visiting Toragbat or Corhum, make sure you have this app with you!
BĂĄnh MĂŹ Near Me
Web App demo (limited functionality â Yelp API and YouTube playback via Web Viewer do not work in a browser):

Video demo:
I think this is a great WDC theme but I was a little overwhelmed thinking about how to make something for it. It feels like something that would take me a while to create.
But what popped into my mind was⌠food! Iâve been on kind of a mission to find the best BĂĄnh MĂŹ sandwich in the SF Bay Area. BĂĄnh MĂŹ are Vietnamese sandwiches. Iâve so far sampled about a dozen restaurantsâ faire.
And I realize that what Iâve created here is just a limited version of Yelp but⌠once in a while itâs good to be able to narrow the focus and just create an app for me.
And the beauty of this approach, which is API based, is that by changing one text string from âBĂĄnh MĂŹâ to anything else (âsteakâ, âdessertâ, âvegan, etc.â), I could instantly have an app that focuses on another type of cuisine. Hereâs the exact same app but with âhot fudge sundaeâ replacing âBĂĄnh MĂŹâ:
Cultural caveats:
I realize that food in of itself does not represent a culture holistically and also that this particular food is born from colonialization. So focusing on it is potentially problematic. The video I included in the app does go into that history briefly.

Hello everyone,
So here is my entry âŚits called he World of HeritageâŚIt shows you state by state culture, tourism and history ⌠try attempting the quiz! For certification send a screenshot of your result to us!
Project Page -Thunkable
Built use DnD on Thunkable X.
Nice work, @tchind. You really shouldnât post your real name, photo, school name and where you live on the Internet. Please consider replacing the screenshot above to remove/hide those details.
@tchind Iâm just giving you advice that as a minor, you should keep that kind of information private. Where you post it is up to you and whether or not you follow my advice but⌠itâs safest to keep your personal information private.
Please check with your teachers and parents and follow their advice on this!
okâŚ
@tatiang I love your idea! The UI is great too.
Hereâs my submission, OUTLINE INDIA.
Most of us miss travelling during COVID, so, this is a game about travelling through India virtually!
Idea
I took inspiration from @catsarisky and made a game app. Initially, I had planned to make an information app about India but ended up making OUTLINE INDIA. Itâs basically an online, one-player board game, with a dice.
How to play
The aim of the game is to get from Kochi (starting city) to Madurai (end city) while keeping as much money as you can. You start with âš20000 and click on the dice to roll. Your itinerary is preplanned, with 13 major cities making up the route. On each shake, you receive a situation thatâs native to the city you are in! You both make and lose money throughout the game. You have to pay for tickets to move from one city to the other.
Play
Hereâs the link: Thunkable
Stats
Total blocks: 467
Time taken: 4 hours total(I had to think of 78 situations)
Components used: Data viewer list, Labels, Buttons, Image, and List Viewer.
Great app and nice design. The find Button did not work for me but the info screen works. The theme is great. I was even tricked by the back arrow in the screen thinking that itâs part of Wikipedia site.
Cool app. Two pieces of feedback, if you wanted to develop it further.
- As someone who has never been to India, those cities are just names to me. A map showing where we were going would have made it feel more like travel.
- Could you add images? Iâd love to /see/ where Iâm travelling to. There are lots of free images that you could include - Iâve found that Wikimedia Commons (Wikimedia Commons) is a good place to look for images that are Creative Commons licensed and can be included in an app.
Oops, 3 pieces of feedback:
What does the listviewer at the top of the app do?
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Such stuff os really helpful.
Thatâs a great idea! Will implement it immediately.
Another great idea! Images would really be helpful for people who havenât been there.
Ah, thatâs a DVL, not a list-viewer. I used it because I was planning on adding images anyway, and it would be easier to connect images of the city with the name if I used a DVL. Iâm using it to display the itinerary for your travels. Iâll add a label there. Again, thanks for all the feedback!
Iâm looking forward to seeing your revision!
I like how you provide the player a summary of their actions.
Thanks! Iâm done with my revision, I think it should work using the same link. Of course, the map component will not work on the web, so itâs better if you test it on your mobile/tab. Iâve also added images, and deleted the itinerary display. If there are any more features that youâd like to see, please let me know! Also, Iâd love to know your end-of-the-game conditionsđ
The map is a great addition. But when I start the app and tap Play, it shows me Kochi and a map but thereâs nothing (obvious) to tap to move on. The die shows up for a brief second and then disappears.
Edit: Sorry! Didnât realize I had to scroll down.
I had to make it scrollable because the map needed to be a good size.
