ISA my second mobile application
This project started as a challenge from my Big Brother Allen. He saw my first flutter application Nuod which does nothing other than searching and selecting movies so it can give you a random movie to watch.
So He ask me "Hey brother I got a challenge for you"
"Really? What is it, Brother?"
"We need some survey application where one of our employee can record the customer's contact information and the item they are looking for that we currently don't have in our store, so the app will save those items and it can send a list of items filtered by date via email in spreadsheet format"
so I said "Okay Brathaa, I'll take the challenge just give me one week"
Now to give you a context, I'm relatively new to flutter, Yes I've developed an application with it but I'm only using it for a couple of days so I say what the heck I got nothing to lose and I love challenges so I took it and I took it with passion! so I said just give one week to deliver the app
To be honest I'm a bit scared that I might fail Big Brother Allen for not delivering the app on time.
However, each day pass by is like each day of a breakthrough for me!
On the first day, I started the design
The second day I keep designing
The third day I procrastinate and watch flutter tutorials in youtube
The fourth day I've setup my development environment and imported all the assets needed on my flutter app then I started to write my widgets but mostly layout related ones such as (header, buttons, etc...)
The fifth day is where most unknown things needed to be discovered so I have to stop and do my research like "How to send email via flutter?" and "How to convert sqflite data to .csv?"
The sixth day I get back into coding and implemented the solutions I've discovered (thanks to stackoverflow)
and on the seventh day I'm so happy I made it this far, even though my app has bugs I think it's now time to show it to my brathaa
So I contacted him in messenger and sent him a demo video
but then things immediately have changed and he is asking me to add some features now
It suddenly feels like a job to me instead of a side hustle that I'm willing to do for free just for fun and to learn more about Flutter
But he is my brother and I love him so I have to do these features anyways and fix these freaking bugs!
Takeaways
I like developing apps with Flutter (until it became a job)
