TRANSLATION: I heard that appinventor bought kodular and will merge the two platforms, does anyone know if this is true ???
No, App Inventor never purchased Kodular.
App Inventor 2 started in 2015 by the MIT, and is open source, meaning that anyone can create their own version of App Inventor. Based on this, Kodular was created in 2017 by private developers, and they added a lot of features currently unavailable in App Inventor.
Now, Kodular is going to merge into App Inventor. Kodular will shut down, and App Inventor will receive features that App Inventor does not have but Kodular has.
App Inventor is not a commercial company. It is for education. No money is involved.
Please refer to this official post for details instead of a classic game of telephone.
