Thunkable's mission is to empower mobile app developers of the future to solve their own problems with the world’s best technologies. Thunkable’s flagship product is a drag and drop app builder, on which anyone can build native, mobile apps without code.
Thunkable is a 30s-something creative, helpful, approachable innovator. The Thunkable team must address the majority of our Creators with this in mind, understanding that Creators come from all ages and industries. (This applies to educators as well, but not students.) We all have the same goal: to solve a problem where a mobile-first solution is needed.
When we speak to Creators (and potential Creators), our goal is always to tell them what they will get from using Thunkable as opposed to what Thunkable is capable of as a tool.

Refer to Thunkable employees as generic titles to keep content evergreen, even in quotes

Doing so also keeps content evergreen; if Domhnall ever leaves the company, people reading older content won’t know who you are referring to, so it’s important to stay generic in references.
