Trying to make a new app.

Hello, I'm new to programming and what not and liked the look of this site. I would like to create an app with a news feed and also where you can take notes and attach pictures to those notes. I'm looking in the plugins and I do not see that, but I'm probably looking in the wrong place. Any tips to point me in the right direction would be appreciated. As of now, I'll go through all the how to's and what not. -Ian

Hi Ian, Welcome to buzztouch! All the functionality that's ready to integrate into your app exists in the form of plugins. If you check out the the Plugins page when logged into your account, you'll see everything that's available. Most are free, but some do cost. You can also use the blank screen plugin, and add whatever functionality you want via extra code. The items you're currently looking for don't exist as plugins at the moment. That doesn't mean that somebody isn't working on it, but at the moment, you'd have to generate some new code. There are TONS of things you CAN do with buzztouch, so spend some time looking around, planning your app, and see what's possible. And don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help! Mark

Welcome Ian, The whole plugin market is relatively young. So just because you don't find the exact plugin you're looking for doesn't mean its not possible. It just means it hasn't been made yet. My advice is to find something close, and try to modify it. or Make a request for a plugin developer to make what you're looking for. If its a good enough idea, then it might get made. Good luck!

Hi @hatpindolly, Plugins for buzztouch are written in Objective C for iOS, and Java for Android. All the files are there for you to study, learn from, and modify as you need. The come with your source download package. Mark
