Blokkok is an open-source modular Android App IDE for Android. Every components of the IDE are separated from each other by modules, every modules work together to create an IDE interface for the user to use. Since the plain blokkok app is well, just plain, you can create anything you like with it by modules.
ATTENTION: SEE #5 - TL;DR - Blokkok is discontinued due to a restriction in android 10+, any workaround is appreciated
These steps will show you on how to build blokkok on your own

Building this app is fairly simple, if you have android studio, you can open this project in it and click run. If you don't, you will need to have java installed in your machine, then run ./gradlew assembleDebug or .\gradlew assembleDebug (if on windows) in the project directory. After some time, the APK will be available in the app/build/outputs/apk/debug directory, have fun!

- Modular communication API was inspired from the Linux kernel
- Blokkok is a rewrite of the dead OpenBlocks
- How OpenBlocks was born from knowing that Sketchware users like to modify Sketchware to make their own features, so then it's better if the app itself is modular so people doesn't need to know a lot about reverse engineering to modify it
