Abstract: A computer-implemented method of creating an app and a computer system arranged and configured to execute the acts of the computer-implemented method are provided. The computer-implemented method includes: providing an app development user interface (UI) to a user for developing the app; providing a search UI to the user for searching in a repository for storing artifacts which are reusable for app development; capturing the user's search intent in response to user interactions with the search UI; importing at least one artifact corresponding to the captured user's search intent from the repository to the app development UI; and developing the app through the app development UI by using the imported at least one artifact.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and apparatus for enabling sharing and/or collaboration on visual model-based applications. Visual model-based applications can be represented using an internal representation, which can be edited and read in a visual modeling environment, or using a visual representation, which visually depict the model-based application in a visually intuitive way. A model share server can receive internal representations of visual model-based applications and convert them into visual representations for display on a hosted webpage, or for display on an external webpage or document. The model share server can also generate visual representations in such a way that preserves key words or text for indexing by a search engine crawler, which facilitates searching of visual model-based applications.
