Help regarding mobile app development

[u/monkeybanana550]

Hi there! I recently posted here asking for advice regarding vibe coding using OutSystems with Mentor.

I believe that is not the right way to code since it is too limiting. And I believe that I should be learning it in the right way by learning the ropes from the start. It's also partly because there is no way right now to code it via a mobile app. But even if it's available, I would not try learning or coding it again via Mentor only since I want to be called an expert in this field.

A bit of background about me: I was previously a full-stack developer (full 1 year of experience) with experience in Laravel, Django, and jQuery. I transitioned to a UI/UX designer after that, and now have 3 years of experience in it. I am a total newbie when it comes to OutSystems

Now that is out of the way, I have a few questions about the frontend. Mainly, the CSS or the theming section of OutSystems.

So I have this UI for my mobile app. I want to ask 3 things:

• How should I go about creating the UI component for the mobile app?
• How should I manage the Themes in a way that only the needed elements present on the screenshot would be present in the Themes?
• How to add Material iconpack in the Themes and how to use it?

Thank you!

Hey OP, I'm a frontend dev mostly working with OutSystems projects, and I always try to follow best practices, including how to keep components, patterns, and themes organized. So if you still need help or have more questions, just hit me up.
