MIT’s “Thunkable” gives noncoders the ability to create professional-grade mobile apps.

More than 1.5 million mobile apps with around 16 million monthly active users have been created on Thunkable, a platform that grew out of MIT. The apps were designed to do things like educate, entertain, and turn a profit — and they were all built without writing a single line of code.

That’s because Thunkable offers an intuitive drag-and-drop system that allows noncoders to build robust mobile apps that work across Apple and Android devices. The company’s tools allow anyone to build professional-grade apps, and the results prove developers aren’t the only people with great ideas.

Popular apps on the platform include a highway alert sytem for roadways in Thailand, an app that helps Iraqis learn English, and a dice-rolling app made by two Oregon teenagers that’s been downloaded more than half a million times.
