Starhive Academy > part 3 - Starhive Apps

Starhive Apps can be used to simplify specific processes, share data, or create objects. Common use cases of Apps include:

• Creating dashboards of Starhive data to share with stakeholders
  
• Providing forms to create new objects (e.g. tasks, reporting issues) without exposing all attributes on the form
• Simplifying the interface and introducing your brand to increase adoption of your Starhive apps
• Having non-Starhive users view Starhive data or create objects

There are two different ways you can create Apps with Starhive. They are:

1. Build in Starhive with our Apps feature

• Introduction to Starhive Apps
• Creating Forms in Starhive Apps
• Managing App users

2. Create your own user interface and connect it with Starhive

Build your own UI with Starhive's Interface Builder - Videos coming soon

Introduction to Starhive Apps

Learn how to create Apps in Starhive and get a basic introduction to some of the different widgets you have available.

Creating Forms in Starhive Apps

Managing App users

Learn how to manage App users and permissions, including inviting users from outside of Starhive.

2. Create your own user interface and connect it with Starhive

You can create user interfaces for your Starhive app from scratch if you have the know-how or have access to an engineer who does. Your user interface can be connected using the Starhive API. 

Alternatively, you can use tools like Wix or WordPress and connect those to Starhive via tools like Zapier for a low-code alternative. 

Here is a video of a simple request form created using Wix and Zapier that can be shared with external users to create requests in Starhive.
