This video showed up on my home page and I was surprised you only had 100 subscribers and as a Flutter user for 4 years now I tell you welcome and I hope to see you at a 100k then a million soon. Also as a flutter developer for 4 years I highly recommend you give flutter flow a chance.
I heard about it, but it's too much code generation for me. I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of guy, I need to organize things myself. But I will try it just for fun, maybe I like it.
As a flutter developper for 4 years (not trolling), I discourage you using flutter flow. If you are used to build UI, flutter documentation is awesome and you will not have any trouble
This switch is the best decision to make in 2024. Native performance to up to 120fps and you can run your app everywhere. I was so happy to make the switch from RN to flutter.
The roadmap is simple. Don’t watch tutorials just use the little knowledge you have in coding and start coding your app whether for production or not. In the process you would find yourself relying more on google, stack overflow or ChatGPT. And by the time you complete your app you would have had a fair enough knowledge on the framework and even tricks only professional devs use.
It's great to see that you chose one of the best packages for each criteria from the beginning. Even though you might not feel the difference but there are better packages for local storage in terms of read/write speed. Overall awesome start. You could not have started any better.
With shared_preferences I only worry about the read speed once at the cold start of the app, since it caches everything in memory. No async operation after that. I am aware that my needs are minimal, and they don't really impact performance. For a bigger app, maybe I would worry but for this it's ok.
Nice, I want to come back to Flutter after years of not using it anymore and I really want to have a strong reason about "WHY FLUTTER", and then I got your video, thank you for sharing your thoughts
Cool, I have been using your app for a long time, never thought Ill see who made it, good job! Also, I can confidently say that you did the right thing when choosing flutter, it will help a ton and it is years ahead of anything like react native (talking from years of experience from a job where we tried multiple solutions and lectures at a university I teach). Anyway keep up the good job, excited to see the rewrite once it hits the stores. Ps: if you ever look for a tester, ill be happy to jump in.
It's crazy to finally be able to meet users of the app here. In all these years, aside from the store reviews, I've never met one person who had the app on their phone. Feels nice!
@@andreiIupsa I am a light mode kind of guy myself, but still, when presenting code, dark mode is a clear choice since: 1) there is a high, jarring contrast between real-world dimly-lit warmer shots, and light af code shots. The difference in luminance is headache inducing. 2) people watch youtube without the lights on a heafty amount of time. 3) code size being unintelligibly small does distract as well. Especially as most content is consumed on mobile. Not trying to be harsh, but felt like light mode and font size detracted greatly from the viewing experience.
Great video, state management framework is good. But I'm turning from XML to Jetpack compose as i am in love witj Kotlin and its features. Plus,compose is already multiplatform
Glad to see a fellow Transylvanian Flutter developer! 😊Nice job so far! I think you made the right choices. I'm building my own projects with Flutter, and having a blast.
I'm doing the opposite 😅 Currently switching from flutter to native android (Jetpack compose) Flutter is the way to go if your app doesn't require too much interaction with the hardware (sensors, etc.)
Best decision! I am switched from iOS Swift and Android Kotlin to Flutter since 2019 and I only work with the native stuff for plugins, app widgets, android wear and the Apple Watch
The first framework I'm learning is Flutter.I began to grasp the concept of flutter. I'm not sure if I'm headed in the correct direction or if there's a better route.
Very good video on the topic. Personally, I've used XML (old Android Native), Jetpack Compose (the new way of developing native Android) and Flutter to develop mobile apps, but I didn't like Flutter due to the fact that you required external libraries to do simple things like navigation, rendering SVGs and other things. Another thing I didn't like about Flutter was the actual language it uses (Dart). If you're looking for an alternative to Flutter for developing multiplatform apps using Kotlin there's alternatives like Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile, Compose Multiplatform, and I'm pretty sure there's other ones. Either way, you should choose the platform depending on your needs and requirements, but if you can enjoy the technology then the better.
I actually enjoy Dart. There are a few things I miss from Kotlin, especially the run let apply scope functions, but I can live without them. And yes, realizing I need libraries for simple things like localization or rendering SVGs was a bummer.
it would be nicer if you could zoom in in video for while showing text... it's hard for me to see thing even in a laptop screen when resolution was anything below 1080p.. so can't imaging how mobile users could see this...
This video is very educative thank you, hope you can share the basic config for your app as repository so we as beginners can have solid structured folders to reuse with the app.
better use BLoC you can filter out unnecessary rebuild. I notice whenever i used Flutter made app my phone is always heating up. like i'm Gaming. but im just requesting JSON file on internet and displaying it on a screen noticing fancy.
can u make a video on react vs flutter and what is the future of AI will it hurt or android developer jobs if its integrated in SDK also make a video on which is better react or flutter (which has more jobs , more future opportunities and easy to learn , less boiler plate code , and also fun)
Very cool video, you picked great dependencies, these are all some of the best-practice respecting and highly regarded choices. Superbase is a great OSS alternative to Firebase, but Firebase excels in simplicity and is unparalleled regarding intergration with dart code. You also grasped the benefits and essence of flutter, knowing how much of a pain the xmls for android are, you'll love building UIs with Flutter. I'll be interested to see what your first qualms with the framework will be, especially coming from native.
Hi, thanks for the video. I am about to create a mobile app and web app for my project idea. Firstly, I designed all of the screens in Figma then Im learning how to create a web app with Flutter. My question is, when I create a web app with Flutter, how fast could be this web app? (and also safety?)
Well, the next video is totally unrelated to anything I've made so far, so we'll see. The channel is 3 weeks old, I don't have a "niche" yet. I'm just throwing things at the algorithm to test it and see what sticks. Honestly at the moment I'm the one who needs Flutter tutorials. 😁
Yes, I got you. I think you've already carved a niche for yourself 😀. I've not seen any channel talked about how to monetize side projects like you did it here. So keep it up 💪.
Interesting points. I tried extensively both Flutter and Jetpack Compose and I can safely say that Jetpack Compose is miles ahead. It feels much more polished and cleaner to write. I simply much prefer it compared to Flutter. Now you might say that the issue is lack of iOS support, and that is obviously true. But for that I think the game changer is Kotlin multiplatform. You get to share exactly the code you want with your iOS project and the best thing is that you are still writing Kotlin, which to me has a lot better DX compared to Dart. You might also use Compose multiplatform to share UI too and I think that would be the best option for you. Flutter is nice for MVPs, but when the project grows it easily start to feel like a mess and I'm scared of Google not wanting to continue developing it. I would advise you to at least give Compose multiplatform a look and see if it might fit your needs. Best of luck
You pointed out some nice issues, but I gave up trying to write the app for more than 3 or 4 years on a framework. Things change so fast now, and the app is relatively easy to put together from scratch. KMP and Compose Multiplatform seem nice but they are still young. I would wait a bit before dwelling into it. Flutter is more than enough for me at the moment, and it runs so smooth, even better than my old XML based UI which had some nasty view trees into it.
@@andreiIupsa true, kmp feels a bit too young to trust. Good luck with the rewrite, Flutter is nice too (I just love Kotlin haha), I'm making an app with that too :>
As shown and explained in the Video he used Kotlin (native Android ) before switching to Flutter! He wants to target iOS to so Crossplatform frameworks like React Native and Flutter are the best if you want to support both platform in one codebase
Have you thought about Kotlin Multiplatform? I am an Android dev and I have a few flutter projects as well. I prefer flutter for cross platform but if KMP was stable when I started that may have been the route to go
Well, with KMP you still need to worry about writing the UI separately, right? In that case, it deppends. If you have a lot of business logic you need to write, KMP makes sense. But for me, my app is mostly UI, so Flutter was the way to go.
@@andreiIupsa Now with KMP you can write compose for all platform, including iOS. So if you had some logic used in Kotlin you can reuse that in your KMP code.
Be careful with what they mention above. If the final result is what matters most to you, then in terms of performance, React native is the worst option. RN < Flutter < Native
Hey Andrei! Jetpack compose is super awesome. Probably one of the best thing Android ever developed. As you're also targetting iOS, Flutter is the best option. Eventually it'll take rougly same time to get used to with Flutter or Jetpack compose.
native android is over engineered also limits to android for a saas product , flutter is doing good and with impeller rendering engine it will be a game changer

Bro give a road map I want to be a mobile app developer with Kotlin and flutter
Same here.
Creating a new app, (my largest project yet) and it's going so much smoother with Flutter than RN.
I wish I would have switched sooner.
The roadmap is simple. Don’t watch tutorials just use the little knowledge you have in coding and start coding your app whether for production or not.

Welcome to Flutter. I would love to see how you use flutter for graphs and some videos on painting with Flutter.
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING. Good pacing, thoughtful structure, and brilliant explanations.

I would love to see u make a video tutorial of your calculator project using flutter. I like how to manage code it looked really neat.
After I finish the calculator, I will make a video about it! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your experience with switching
Welcome, need to spread this tool widely
I think whenever you present something with code please increase font size we could barely see it on full HD
Good point, noted!
I'm doing the opposite 😅 Currently switching from flutter to native android (Jetpack compose)
Flutter is the way to go if your app doesn't require too much interaction with the hardware (sensors, etc.)
Agree. My app doesn't need too much interaction so it's the perfect candidate.
wow thank you so much!

What about compose Multiplatform?
IOs is still in alpha version

This was a great and very well put video thanks and kudos.
Finally welcome my Friend 💡💡
Agreed! what are your thoughts about React Native and Expo? Good luck on your NEW upgrade!
I love Flutter! 😁For me it's best framework to make mobile apps as for now!
Because Flutter is the Best 💙🤘 Welcome to the Dart side my friend 😎🤝
Are you going to do a tutorial to convert your app over? I would follow it for sure.
Kotlin multi-platform is great too. Maybe give it a try?
Annnndddd subscribedddd
Since, you are already used to working with Kotlin, what was the main reason you didn't decide to go with compose multiplatform?
IOs is still in alpha version
You never thought about react native? (just wondering)
The first framework I'm learning is Flutter.I began to grasp the concept of flutter. I'm not sure if I'm headed in the correct direction or if there's a better route.
Me neither, but hey.. It's not like in a few years, everything you learn now wouldn't be obsolete. Everything changes, so embrace it! 🙂
I want to start flutter too. Which ide are you using and also how to set up my environment for flutter development?
I am using Android Studio, and the default documentation is all that you need. 😊

why not switch to KMP or compose multiplatform ??
It's too young of a framework. I'd give it at least 1 or 2 years first. We'll see..
yeah, but do i need all that material ui?

Sooo, why not Kotlin Multiplatform with Compose?
Great video!
Wow so easy to understand and good video
Cool content, New subscriber here 🔥
just curious about something
why not just using KMP?
Worth watching
Hi its very nice! How much Firebase bill do you get?
This month I'm sitting at $0.48 😁
Amazing vide man! Please do more flutter contnet. Also, could you zoom in on the code a little bit more? It's difficult to read
better use BLoC you can filter out unnecessary rebuild.
I notice whenever i used Flutter made app my phone is always heating up. like i'm Gaming. but im just requesting JSON file on internet and displaying it on a screen noticing fancy.
Didn't happen to me. Maybe I should start testing on lower end devices but my Pixel 7 handles it like a dream and it's not a flagship anymore.
Nice Video!
What should I learn of specific topics for navigation like facebook mobile app ? Example keep scroll position on both page navigation .
@ThanHtutZaw3 Supplying a page storage key to your ListView will help you achieve that - keeping scroll position after navigation.
use auto_route, this library allows you to save other tab state
use signals for state management
what is the translation site you were using
That site is called POEditor

Did you at any point think of React Native before settling with Flutter?
I am grappling with that choice for my pet project.
react native would definitely be a better choice. Flutter is as dead as dead can be
@@blessedpigeon6304 Thanks man
react native is supported by libraries in nodejs. It means you can use nodejs library for react native. it is a strong point.
Be careful with what they mention above. If the final result is what matters most to you, then in terms of performance, React native is the worst option.
RN < Flutter < Native
Thanks, guys for chipping in.

why you don't choose React native
I don't like JavaScript! 😊
Welcome to Flutter, u obviously made the right choice. Flutter 4ever.
react native?

Actually I doing the reverse. I came from 3 years or flutter to React Native.

Your monitor is too big for the screen recording to be useful
Why not use getx package for state management?
Hey Andrei! Jetpack compose is super awesome. Probably one of the best thing Android ever developed.
As you're also targetting iOS, Flutter is the best option. Eventually it'll take rougly same time to get used to with Flutter or Jetpack compose.

Welcome to the Flutter Community 🎉
Why not Kotlin Multiplatform
My app is 80% UI so the business logic is not my issue. In KMP I would still need to write UI separately for iOS and Android, right?
