Post Body

First of all I hope everyone is safe and sound during these hard times, but you know what? with all this extra time in my hands I went a head and started working on my personal Flutter Project. -side note, I first worked on Flutter about a year ago but stopped using it because 1. It was not as stable as it is now, and 2. I wanted to make an App for both iOS and Android, you can't do so if you don't own an Apple Computer(any Mac will do)-

As it was a personal project I went a head and started working and designing something I am into, which in this case is fitness. After about two months into designing the Fitness App, I went to a local gym I enjoy working out in, and casually proposed that I can make the fitness app an exclusive for the member of this gym. Most importantly, yes, we agreed on me getting payed monthly to maintain and add features to the App, which is something a lot of devs don't like to discuss on public forums, since pay varies so much depending on where you live. As an -amateur- Flutter Dev, it was pretty simple stitching everything you need to make a decent looking app for BOTH iOS and Android, though in all honesty you will have to learn to work a round a few bugs for publishing to iOS.

Long-story short, I was finally able to publish my first Beta testing on TestFlight (is an App Beta tester for iOS devices) yesterday and the experience was wonderful. Knowing I can deliver a decent App with decent functionality in BOTH iOS and Android, can you imagine the hassle I would've had to go thought if I wanted to do each app individually? Nightmare.

I am very thankful for the team that is making Flutter possible since it's such an easy platform to use for making Apps, I genuinely think Flutter will be the "next big thing"in coding a few years from now since it's so easy to work on. If I am not mistaking they are working on Web, Windows and MacOS apps as well.

The takeaway: Flutter is an easy-to-use, framework, you WILL experience a lot of errors, compatibility issues, and architecture problems. But, think about this, I was able to make a fully functional Fitness App (sign-in page, workouts page, trainers page, weight tracker, member ID in dashboard, and an extra page to put info such as class and gym hours).

Just one person,
Coding part time,
No big team,
Only 3 years of coding experience,
With only YouTube videos and the small community, (MTechViral is a big help, thanks man)

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this too.

For those of you asking about the app:
