On October 17th we participated in the meetup coordinated by Luis Zarza for the community of WordPress&Marketing Barcelona meetup!. At this event, Xavier Barata, CEO of King of App, explained how the tool we have developed can help the WordPress community easily convert -and without the need for programming knowledge- your websites created with this content manager into fully functional mobile applications. To show live and in person how the tool really works and what kind of apps can be made with it, designed a mobile application specific to the event This allowed us to show all the attendees a real case that they themselves could apply to their own websites and those of their clients. You can download the application, available on Google Play, from here: Thanks to the open source philosophy that our tool shares with other CMS like WordPress, King of App's builder allows you to customize templates and plugins to the maximum with just knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. As you know, these are the same languages that are commonly used in the web world. That is our philosophy and our added value: democratizing the creation of apps and defending that if you make websites you can now also make apps.
