Hi Adalo Makers!
We’re so excited to finally let you in on our little secret — Adalo 2.0 — the largest launch in the history of Adalo!
Over the last couple years, we’ve been known as the native mobile app builder, but we had visions that were much more grand. While you could always publish to a custom domain, the experience felt a little lacking because you had to build both a desktop version and a mobile version of your app.
That ends today.
Now, with Adalo 2.0, you can build your app once & publish it anywhere. That’s right, the app you build can be published to a custom domain, for both desktop and mobile, and it can be made into a native mobile app. We truly believe that any customer-facing app needs to be accessed across any platform, but oftentimes that means twice the work. Not any more. We want to enable businesses of all sizes to take advantage of every screen size in their app development.
Let’s talk about some of the amazing features of Adalo 2.0:
There’s a new app type in town.
As you create a new app, you’ll notice a new app type to select: a Responsive Web App. While it’s only one button on the create screen, this unlocks a whole new way to build your app. A Responsive Web App is able to be built specifically for every screen size & published across platforms — hello mobile devices AND desktops.
What you see is truly what you get.
With customizations down to the screen size, what you see in the editor is actually what you’ll see once you publish. No more guessing what your app is going to look like on each device size, instead, you set up the constraints and visibility by device type & watch the magic happen.
We’re flexing on Flexbox.
Have you ever built a responsive website before? If you have, you’re probably familiar with two popular systems to build with — Flexbox & grid. Oftentimes, these two systems led to constraints that came with a large learning curve or stifled your flexibility. We took our ever-popular style of visual development to a whole new level. Now, in the Adalo builder, you simply drag & drop your components and that’s where they’ll stay… (until you decide to rearrange them). We’re talking ultimate flexibility.
Introducing web publishing controls.
