Get started guide 🍕

We get it. You have a short attention span. It's cool, let's keep this really simple and short.

In Sketch or Lunacy

1. Create a new file ⌘N

2. Rename the Page 1 page 👉 App

Rename the page from Page 1 to App. The App page is where the magic happens

1. Create a new Artboard (A) size does not matter

2. Rename it from Artboard 👉 Start

You need one Artboard named Start or nothing will work

1. Save your Sketch file

2. Open up Marcode app

In Marcode

Pretty obvious yes? 😺💪

1. Press on the Link a Sketch file area in our app

2. Locate your newly created Sketch file from the steps above

3. It should look like this 👇🤖

Blank, yes of course, we have not done anytyhing in Sketch yet

1. Let's add a background color to our Start Artboard and see what happens

2. Ours looks like this 👇

We added a Background color 🎉

1. Save in Sketch and now look inside Marcode app, should look like this 👇

Great work!

What have we learned?

1. How to create a blank Marcode starter template in Sketch

2. How to connect the Sketch file to Marcode app

3. How to add a background color to our first Artboard, that always need to be named Start (never ever take this one away, our app will break). Start is the index.html page.

What do I do next?

1. Learn our markup, it's super easy

2. Add as many new Artboards as you might need, but always keep Start (index.html)

3. Start with our {prototype} components, a very fast way of getting 1:1 designs out to iOS, Android and HTML apps
4. Have fun! 😺🧡
