Make an app instead of a game

Hello everyone!
Would it be possible to make a multi user based app which just shows user posts to other users ? Something like twitter but not with that many options. just to show plain text to every app user.
Thanks in advance

You could. But you probably shouldn't.
For one, it's not going to be as easy as using another tool - gamesalad is designed to make games, that's what the engine is for.
Which leads to the second point - there'll be a lot of overhead in your app that is completely redundant. You'll be loading a game engine to post messages - far too much bloat for your needs.
If I were you I'd probably look to make a web app and wrap it up as a native app using something like phonegap.
Is there any engine which could be easy to use as gamesalad? Drag and drop basically and adding own design elements.
I personally haven't used any so can't vouch for them, but the first page of google for "drag and drop app builder" is full of suggestions.
I personally recommend learning a bit of html and javascript and building a web app. There's bound to be a tutorial for something simple like a messaging service.
