A Little More Framework for the Flutter Framework makes for better apps

I’ve always said, as great as Flutter is, you will not create a ‘production-worthy’ app using Flutter right out of the box. Of course, making such a statement is not without some pushback:

“I don’t understand why I should use and learn some `Fluttery Framework`, when I already use and know Flutter.” — reddit.com/r/FlutterDev

“I would definitely say you can build a production-ready app right out of the box, it all depends on the feature requirements.” — reddit.com/r/FlutterDev

Prove It

That was about a year ago, and I’m still steadfast in my position. I began the [Fluttery Framework] package back in 2018 supplying the typical functions and features needed for a production-worthy app. It certainly made my Life easier when building apps. It provides not only what Flutter already offers but also a collection of sound Dart packages already offered by the Flutter community.

Each article in this series will have a title suggesting what I felt Flutter needed a ‘little more’ of to produce apps ready for release. In most cases, it was simply a matter of ‘arranging’ the very classes and core packages already found in Flutter.

It’s a Choice. Not a Chore.

My motto has always been ‘Keep It Flutter’ when writing Fluttery. It works with Flutter; not on top of it as a separate approach. It doesn’t impose itself on you. It looks like Flutter, it works like Flutter and it works with Flutter. If you know Flutter, you’ll know Fluttery.

I needed a framework to quicken the building of Flutter apps; to enhance the building process resulting in a reliable and robust end product. However, as Dave Farley suggests, one that wouldn’t impede my code but fulfill the needs of each unique project. Have I done it? You be the judge.

Cheers.

How about a clap? Just one, please.
