# FlowComments

## Simple cards to add comments to flows

This app enables adding comment cards to your flows.  
They are just cards with text, no functionality at all

- Condition cards (And.. section) are always true and do not influence the way your flows runs

- Action cards (Then.. section) do not contain actions and do not influence the way your flows run

### 2 types of flow cards

- Comment (Notitie)  
To clarify the flow
- Fixit (Oplossen)  
To point to flows that needs a better solution  
(Specific type makes it easier to search and find…)

## Examples:

Comments to clarify the flow

Quite a nice idea. Certainly fills a need Athom has missed to provide a solution for up until now.

Thanks for the nice responses.  
Good to hear it fills a need!

Still some work todo. Its seems to work fine. But when pressing the test button in the flows the cards get exclamationmarks (error). Figuring out what goes wrong…  
(1st time I create an app, so learning on the job)

Great idea, could use something like this as well! I don’t have time for testing, but when the app hits the Homey App store I will download it for sure!

Yeehow, I published my app for testing.  
But I do need some help now…

Accoding to the developer guidelines my dashboard should provide a link for testing.

But I do not see a link  
Where can I find this link??

Found out the link will be available after 1st screening/approval by athom.  
When it is available I will sent a pm to the people in this thread that mentioned they want to test.

My app is now availble for testing.  
You can find it in the homey community store

Be aware:

- this is not the Athom app store
- this app is only tested by me, so no other used tested it
- it is therefore not released in the Athom app store yet
- Also not reviewed by Athom yet…  
[Here’s](https://store.homey.community/app/nu.fkey.CommentsForFlow) the link to the app in the store
