Developer Portal Guide

1 What Is the Developer Portal?

The Developer Portal is one of the key components of the Mendix Platform. In the Developer Portal, Mendix users can collaborate, deploy, manage their apps.

The Developer Portal also offers open, well-defined APIs, enabling third-party developers to integrate their own widgets and plugins. For more information, see API Documentation.

When you open the Developer Portal, you are brought to the My Apps page, which shows you a summary of your current apps:

The All tab displays all the apps for which you are a Team member.

Any app tile you pin by clicking Pin () will appear in the Pinned tab.

Use the drop-down menu on the right side of the page to sort the apps by Most Recent or in alphabetical order of App Name.

The Pending Invites tab presents the pending invitations to apps that you have received (which you can Accept or Decline) in addition to the invitations you have sent.
