SketchCollab

SketchCollab is an android application that let's you collaborate in sketchware without any hassle. It is similar to github, but specialized for sketchware.

Versions

• Release: Unreleased, still in development
• Development: v0.1-alpha2

So, what's the deal?

Sketchware users are usually using the one-way-sending project way of collaborating, or sending the modifided project to the other person, until they finished modifying it / improving it, and the cycle goes on and on. (Showed in diagram below)

This is a very slow and an inefficient way of collaborating, because you will need to wait for your partner to finish the editing if you want to make changes on the project.

SketchCollab break these limits, SketchCollab allows you to edit the project at the same time as someone is editing the project, this makes development not only faster, but also easier. (Shown in diagram on the right)

Note

I didn't invent version control. SketchCollab is only a version control system for Sketchware projects.

Building

Steps in building SketchCollab on your own is written in this wiki.
