My [first app](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nu.fkey.CommentsForFlow/FlowNotities/) is finished and published in the app store  
I posted my app code on github.  
So you can use the content to learn how to build an app

It might be the simplest app ever:  
The app allows you to create flowcards with text.  
The flowcards do not have any functionality (And Cards… always returns true, Then Card… does not perform an action).

I created the app to fill my need to add comments to flows (document it).  
In the code itself I also added a lot of comments:

- what does the codeline do
- where in the SDK can you find more information on the code

So it should help you building your first app  
Find it in the community forum:  
[https://community.homey.app/t/32251](https://community.homey.app/t/32251)

Find it in the App Store:  
[https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nu.fkey.CommentsForFlow/FlowNotities/](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nu.fkey.CommentsForFlow/FlowNotities/)

Find it on the GitHub Wiki  
[https://github.com/fkey3/FlowComments](https://github.com/fkey3/FlowComments)  
Its mainly the

- app.js : to register the flowcards
- app.json file : to define the function of the cards  
that contains the code.
- Besides that some readme & icon but these are not functional
