Thanks for contributing to foss do try to get it into fdroid
Or use IzzyOnDroid which is way easier and ships your release apk
Hi,
Thank you for offering an alternative.
The interface is pretty barebones, even for a "keep it simple" app.
I'd be wise to consider making those tiles smaller, having huge boxes containing 45% decoration isn't the best I think.
Else, I'd add sync or access to calDAV items as soon as possible.
Cheers
Thank you for these suggestions! I'll be working on sync or import/export, right after I fix the UI. Making the items editable is another thing I need to add.
Where did you learn flutter?
I started with YouTube (via Invidious), and then it was just hunting for "how do I add this thing in Flutter" on search engines and forums.
Well done. UX is where most FOSS app let users down. Hope you can improve the UX still keeping it simple.
I was thinking of cloning some android only notes app with flutter with Markdown support, but I finished learning flutter a few weeks ago... so good luck to me I guess.
All the best! 🍀
If it’s made in flutter, doesn’t that mean you easily publish it to the iOS App Store? Isn’t the main point of flutter to publish to both iOS and Android?
That is correct, but I'll need either a Macintosh machine, or a VM to compile the app. Then, I'll have to pay a fee to Apple to publish this on their App Store. I haven't even made a .deb package, as of now, because I use Fedora and am too lazy to spin up a VM.
But if I get to implement everything I have in mind, for this app, I'll surely release it on every platform possible.
Well I mean if you want to pay 99$ each year, yes
Only if they have access to a mac and xcode would it be easy. Trying to develop anything for iPhone, even a fairly simple website, can be a genuine nightmare without the proper tools for testing, let alone an actual app. I once spent over 2 days trying to solve a bug that I was able to resolve in like 5 minutes after finally admitting defeat and borrowing my brothers macbook.
It's almost 20 mb.
This is the first app I've ever made, so, I don't know what exactly the reason is for that. However, I think this is because I made it with Flutter instead of something lower lever like Java.
Yes, that's correct.
