Creo 1.0 — The new way to build native mobile applications
Creo is the new way to build native mobile applications.
With an incredible technology and an intuitive interface, Creo helps you build fully featured native applications in a fraction of the time required by any other tool.

The app is cool I just missing in-depth doc. Any plans for improved docs and more tutorials?
Well done, Creo team. Perhaps, you could move the community section (https://community.creolabs.com/) to Slack or Facebook. Not everyone would like to use this forum system.
@amos_gyamfi Slack is probably the best option, we'll open a channel soon. Thanks!

"The new way to build native mobile applications" or "The new way to build native iOS applications" ? Just wondering about Android support. Thanks.
@andinux @sqlabs @jamie_ross Geez. No need to be rude about it. Believe these guys have been working on this since 2016 and their first language is Italian, hence the typo.
Been using earlier betas of Creo and I've followed the development of the product from the early stage. Glad to see it finally hit v 1.0 - a great tool to show non-developers the principles of app development, the wiring of components and intro them to software development before writing some code!
Pros:Simple to use, effective, long time coming
Cons:Docs and samples could use some love
Wow. Congrats guys. I'm looking forward to digging into this more. As a designer, with a good knowledge of code, I'm excited to see how I can focus more on the design side without worrying about coding.
@andinux @sqlabs @jamie_ross the site states that it uses "Gravity"
"We developed a brand new highly efficient programming language from scratch with a familiar Swift/JavaScript like syntax and a blazing fast virtual machine. Gravity is a new open sourced multi-platform programming language. "
Do you think you could build a feature to import sketch ui projects?
@danirogerc Sketchs artworks are already supported, we plan to develop a Sketch plugin in order to offer a more advanced integration.
Congrats guys. It looks like a great product. But why inventing a new programming language, Gravity? Isn't that going to make developers adoption more difficult and slower, with a steeper learning curve? What benefits are you gaining from it, and do these benefits justify what you lose by not using a more popular language like JavaScript or Swift?
@valatw that's a really good question and we'll better reply with a blog post that we'll publish in the upcoming days. Swift is not a user-friendly programming language (it is a powerful engineer oriented programming language) and JavaScript was not an option when we first started the project. We needed a programming language powerful enough (and light enough) to completely abstract the underline framework. We'll soon offer Swift, ObjC, Kotlin and other languages exporting capabilities directly from within Creo and I am sure that at that point our choice will be completely understood.
@bader_bouta hope to be able to change your decision once you'll see our execution :-)
I've been using Creo for a while. The one major advantage over Supernova (it's major competitor) is its fantastics support for external apis.
@johnbhiggins I think we're discussing two very different tools at different stages of evolution John. For example Supernova is slated to create websites very soon along with already offering native iOS, native Android and React Native app support right now.
Also I believe Development of external API integration is already underway with Supernova and they have an excellent cloud offering similar to but possibly more powerful than the current InVision release, which allows clients to dynamically interact with & comment on projects as they're being developed.
Having said that, wiring up API responses > properties in Creo is indeed very well done.
Terrific product guys, seems like you just built the tool I was waiting for and I was shocked that no big players sguys ;) yet. You made it. For example the real-time data connector is an idea as simple as terrific. Great job will test it out on real app soon. Good luck from Italy guys
@andinux, looks awesome, but I think the "Align Horizontally" tool actually aligns things vertically.
I used the beta when it was released a while ago. What's new with the 1.0 release?
I use Creo every day instead of Xcode. I recommend Creo for advanced and beginners. Creo in his documentation includes tutorials that are useful to start. After that, if there is a problem, the community will help.
Pros:Advanced but simple, a community that will always help
Cons:Some functions are missing, but they are added over time
