Nothing to install, no developer to hire, no project plan. You describe what you want in a message. You get back a working app or website, live on the web, with a link you can share the same day. Same process either way — apps and websites both start as an email, or a chat message if you prefer. Everything below was made exactly that way.
How it works
From the first sentence to a live app your team can use. The only tool you need is your inbox, or the chat window if you'd rather chat.
Write an email (or a chat message) describing what you want, the way you'd explain it to a colleague.
"I need a simple way for our volunteers to sign up for shifts."Within minutes you get a reply, by email or in the chat, with a working version and a link. Nothing to download, nothing to set up — just open it in your browser.
Hit reply, or answer in the chat, and say what should change. Ask for a new page, different wording, an extra field. Each reply comes back as an updated app.
When you're happy, it goes live for real — on your own web address, ready for staff, members, customers or the public.
Built so far

Not just apps: research-style sites that take a contested question, pull in real data and sources, and let you dig in for yourself. Each one began as an email or a chat message asking a big question.
All about interest rates. Live savings and borrowing rates pulled from Federal Reserve (FRED) data feeds, so you can see where rates stand, how they got here and what that means for savers and borrowers.
Do tax cuts ever “pay for themselves”? US revenue, deficit and GDP data laid side by side, so you can judge the claim against what actually happened after each major tax change.
The full debate over the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling: the case for reform and the case for the decision, argued side by side with sources and polling.
What do citizens get, and what does it cost? A side-by-side look at the Norwegian and American models of taxes, healthcare, education and social support.
Why email (or chat)
No new system for your team to learn, and no meeting required to get started — whether what you need is an app or just a website.
Nothing to install, no account to create, no special words to learn. If you can send a message, you can get an app built.
Send the idea and get on with your day. The work happens in the background and the result lands in your inbox, or in the chat if that's where you asked.
Attach a spreadsheet, a flyer, a booking confirmation or a photo. Whatever you'd hand a colleague, you can send here.
Your email thread, or your chat history, is the plan, the history of changes and the record of decisions — all in one place, searchable, and shareable with your board or your team.
