2019–2025 · Community demos

The example came with an explanation

A keyboard demo and its help article arrived together. They were part of a longer habit: making something the next builder could use.

Two posts on Christmas Eve

On 24 December 2019, BB announced a new keyboard-tools demo in the Store. The next post added its companion: a help article by the same creator.

BB thanked the creator for both.

Help was already a community project

There was an earlier, smaller announcement. On 20 January 2019, the channel highlighted a help bot made by a community member. Its purpose was right there in its name: BotsBusinessHelpBot.

Years later, the Store had a category called From the community. On 25 April 2025, BB used it to introduce ProfileMiniAppBot, a small profile-screen example.

What should the next demo be?

DemoWebAppGuideBot followed on 30 October 2025. Its Store screen grouped WebApp methods into controls for windows, orientation, swipes and confirmation prompts: small pieces of an interface gathered into one example.

On 10 November, a member turned the question back to the chat, asking what kind of demo the BB Store needed next.
