flutter_days_app

A Flutter project that was created for a Flutter Days 2022 talk, "Desktop Development isn't Dead: Flutter Desktop".

This project goes into showing how a developer is able to using the same dart language for mobile develop apps that are capable of developing for Windows and MacOS.

This project is developed using Flutter Version 2.10.2(Stable Channel) and Dart version 2.16.1.

I did not have a Windows machine at the time of capturing this screenshot hence it is bound to look slightly different when run on an actual Windows machine

Overview

This project made use primarily of two distinct packages, macos_ui and fluent_ui to deliver the native look and feel of the respective platforms it was developed for.

There is no claim for a 100% native platform look but this project attempts to get there.

Furthermore, it made use of data from a GraphQL backend provided by myself in order to deliver the content into the apps.

Notes

  • There will be continued effort to add comments in the code to help those trying to understand what the code is doing and how it was written.

  • This app was just a starting point to show how desktop development is possible. As such there is alot that can be improved/refactored to showcase better data handling, reduce repetitive code and also to merge similar files under one.

    All that is work that can be iterated upon later.

  • I do not claim copyright for any and all images used in the app.

Suggested Further Reading

There is alot more that can be done with Flutter Desktop to not only expand on this project but also to increase your knowledge on the area.
