Legacy Block-Based Mobile Apps

Repository containing legacy mobile app projects developed using block-based platforms like MIT App Inventor, Kodular, and Thunkable. Preserved for historical reference, learning purposes, and to document early problem-solving strategies in visual programming.

Repository Structure

Projects are organized by development platform:

MIT App Inventor

• AtualizacaoAutomatica.aia - Automatic update system
• InstantMCPE.aia - Application that linked to the InstantMCPE web page, which allowed creating a temporary Minecraft Pocket Edition server. It included other features such as server messages, commands, and other useful functionalities
• MenuLateral.aia - Example implementation of a side menu with screen switching

Kodular

• GalpaoDasArtes.aia - Application for the Galpao das Artes cultural space
• i9Ponto.aia - Electronic time clock application that integrated with an API for employee time registration
• nCOVID19_Aion.aia - Application that integrated with an API containing COVID-19 data during the pandemic, in addition to safety tips
• Project2D.aia
• SuperAnimes.aia - Application for SuperAnimes, a well-known anime website (now defunct). The app opened the website internally and could control episode downloads
• SuperAnimesLite.aia - Lighter version of the SuperAnimes application

Thunkable Classic

• BotaoCompartilharWeb.aia
• LeitorCodigoBarrasQRCode.aia - Barcode and QR Code reader

About .aia Files

The .aia (App Inventor Archive) files are compressed archives that contain all components, visual code blocks, assets, and configuration settings of a project developed in block-based platforms. They can be imported directly into their respective platforms for viewing and editing.

Tip

Although projects were developed in specific platforms, there is a high chance that when importing them into another compatible platform, they will work normally as well, due to the shared architecture and format of block-based development platforms.

Purpose

This repository serves as:

• Historical reference - Documentation of projects developed in visual platforms
• Learning material - Practical examples of visual programming
• Strategy documentation - Record of early approaches to problem-solving
