This walks you through building a small installable desktop app with a form and locally saved data.
- Create the project. From your Dashboard, click New Project, name it, and choose Desktop.
- Add the main window. Add a Window block as your app's main window, and a Menu Bar if you want a native application menu at the top.
- Build a simple form. Add Label, Input Field, and Button blocks to build something a user can fill out and submit.
- Store data locally. Add a Local Data Table block to store data directly on the user's machine, no server required, and a Local Record Form to add new entries to it.
- Optional: talk to the outside world. Use an API Fetch block if your app needs to call an external service.
- Test it. Use Preview to test your app running exactly as it would once installed.
- Build a real installer. Go to your project's Build section to generate a real, installable Windows, Mac, or Linux build.

A short script you can record with simple screen-capture software (OBS Studio, Loom, etc.) while following the steps above:
- Create a new Desktop project and add a Window with a simple form (Label + Input Field + Button).
- Add a Local Data Table and show a new entry being saved through a Local Record Form.
- Preview the app running.
- Trigger a real build and show the installer file being generated.
Keep it under 3-5 minutes, screen-record your own editor while narrating, viewers learn faster watching a real build than reading steps alone.
