Love our systems and want to understand how it works? We’ve broken down all of the parts that make up each component so that everyone has the ability to deconstruct, re-create, and extend their components as they wish.
What’s In This Component?
Each component is made up of databases, which is where the data is stored. Every entry in the database represents a new item of this component.
