ProtoPie components 101
Everything you need to know about ProtoPie components but was too afraid to ask.

Components give you a huge amount of power when you are creating prototypes. You can create a set of components that can be dragged and dropped into a prototype and just work. Imagine just dragging out a checkbox or a custom button with a cool animation that’s all built-in; no mess, no fuss; rapid prototyping as it should be.
Components have flexible layouts, overrides, and can be nested infinitely enabling the creation of modular UI elements. In short, you have everything you need to build an off the shelf design system for your rapid prototyping needs.
And remember kids this is a no-code environment so anyone, no matter their skill level can start creating components only after using ProtoPie for a few hours. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen.
I guarantee that after reading this you’re gonna feel excited and empowered; so put on your seat belt, secure any baggage in your overhead locker and prepare for take-off 🚀.
Making a component
