FAQ

On this page you find answers to some questions that might help you to get a better understanding of how the BagaWork universe works.

What is BagaWork?

BagaWork is a framework one can use to implement simple smartphone apps. The framework has been designed to be very easy to learn and use, so it is very good to use for those who want to implement apps and learn programming at the same time.

What is a framework?

An app requires a lot of code to function. No one has time to write all of that code themselves each time they create an app. Instead, some experienced programmers create frameworks to help. A framework contains most of the code needed for a general app to function, and then you just provide the last pieces of code the framework needs to make the app function the specific way you want it to function.

What is BagaLand?

BagaLand is this website that you are currently viewing. It can host the BagaWork apps you create, so you and other users can run and install them on your smartphones.

What's the difference between an app, a work-in-progress (WIP) app, a public release, and a secret release?

On this website, when you create a new app, only you have access to it. These apps are also known as a work-in-progress apps, because they are meant to be improved over time.

When you want to make your app available to others, you create a release of it. A release simply contains a copy of your entire app at the time the release was created, and it is the release that will be available to other users, and not the work-in-progress app itself. The work-in-progress app is still only available to you, and you can continue to make changes to it without annoying your users with half finished new features, because they will run the old copy of your work-in-progress app in the release you created before. Whenever you want your latest changes to the work-in-progress app to be used by your users, simply release a new version of it again.

A public release is a release of your app anyone on this website can find and run. A secret release on the other hand is a release of your app that only those you send a specific link to can find and run.
