Client-Side Development

You can find the GitHub repos here:

Sample Code

The repository comes with a few sample apps. Each sample app comes with a README file which explains how it works. When additional documentation is needed, it links back to here.

ZeroDarkTodo

A Todo app is your standard "Hello World" when it comes to syncing data. This app demonstrates the basics. It also allows you to share a Todo list with others users, thus demonstrating how easy it is to add collaboration features to your app.

WhatsZapp

A simple messaging app. And since it's built atop ZeroDark, this means all messages flowing through the server are encrypted end-to-end. The server is not capable of reading any of the messages. It used to be really hard to make such an app. ZeroDark makes it easy.
