Hey That is a really good idea for an application. I will work on it at the weekend! ---

Somehow missed this post. This is an interesting direction to work in (themed apps) and I hope I can do this this week. ---

The inability of copying screens across projects really puts me off from using `Sign in` and `Register` screens. We have to code everything again and again. It might be easy for you because you have a `Business Plan` access but practically, without such essential feature we are expected to **only** show the delivery/booking process but not to redesign the `New User / Returning User` again. ---

I made that fresh today ~ 45 min or less to think about and design, place all elements, plus find the images and font file from figma. Only the first screen and sign in screen is functional so far. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/4/24a4e2c797b56c093caa1f853dd9c70c24bf163f.jpeg) ^^^clearly I need to rename that button too 😂 Some elements are designed in figma and imported as images to keep things easy! It’s just a pretty start to a MVP is all! 🙂 ---

When I work with **FlutterFlow** this task takes hardly a minute or two because all I need is to select a ready made template. Not only design but with relevant code already available. Anyway, I really wish Thunkable revise the idea of `Saved Screen` availability or at least provide the old MIT App Inventor `BackPack` to move snippets of code around projects. ---

Any suggestions for how to deal with APIs that split the response into separate pages? That always annoys me. It looks like [https://swapi.dev/api/planets](https://swapi.dev/api/planets) will return about ten planets at a time. I’ve thought about calling the API and getting each page and joining the responses into a single JSON text string and then just using that throughout my code but it seems like kind of a pain. ---

😉 ```auto https://jared-gibb-project-123-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/.json ``` Good idea @tatiang I went ahead and did that for all of us! You can access the api data here OR call the actual api to get back paginated data. ---

Awesome, thank you! Oh and here’s a teaser for my app: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/6/b6b83bb2322ba8379e8fde1651c08d127c98bfbf.jpeg) ---

here’s another cool resource where you can grab some images from too! my hint here is pay attention to the URL scheme of the image sources for any of the planets [https://starwars-visualguide.com/#/planets?page=1](https://starwars-visualguide.com/#/planets?page=1) ---

can anyone tell here what is the purpose of this app because i am not understanding the topic of WDC ---

The purpose is to make an app similar to [airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/). The app would let you search for and reserve a place to stay. And for fun, it’s Star Wars themed. WDC in general is a way for the community to push themselves to try new components or design elements or ways of using Thunkable and third-party services such as APIs and cloud storage and to share those efforts and results with everyone. ---

Hello, I’d like to introduce you my app for the challenge ![swairbnb1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/6/865a7306da7e1c98f4990fea50f01d28ced971d5.png) ![swairbnb2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/e/0e4c2ea039a913a0fc95f3bb59d9bebbf20061ac.png) ![swairbnb3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/4/f4689a4ae3ba76c9dbe4eeafbb01a2ca74036724.png) it is an easy-to-use app where you can search to find on which Star Wars planet you will spend your next vacation. You can browse different planets through the list or search for your favorite one. After you select one planet you can see some useful information about the Climate and the Residents and of course, select the day you prefer for the visit. So what you are waiting for?
