I built a Flutter job app for both Android and iOS

I've built a Flutter app. With not much prior experience (my first big development project), I somehow managed to pull this off. The whole process took about 5 months, mainly coding on weekends and late nights. The app is built upon SwissDevJobs' API and is available on both mobile platforms. The entire deployment process went smoothly. I had heard many horror stories about the App Store and its strict review procedure, but my app was accepted on the first try, so I guess there's nothing to be afraid of :) Here are some "technical" details and my observations: It wouldn't have been possible…

I built a Flutter job app for both Android and iOS launched on October 3, 2023 with 10 votes, #1,476 of 4,393 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

This is a Flutter job search application available on Android and iOS that pulls listings from SwissDevJobs' API. Built as a first major development project over five months of part-time work, the app successfully launched on both platforms including approval through the App Store on the first submission. The developer relied heavily on the Flutter community and third-party packages to implement features and handle state management.

    Hey HN. Eric Seidel here (former lead of Flutter & Dart at Google, prev. YC S06). I founded Flutter and led the team for almost a decade. One of the constant questions we got was would we support code push like the web/react native: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/14330 I left Google about a year ago and set out to build a company around Flutter and decided to start with code push. It took us a year to build. We had to build a new toolchain for Dart and a custom interpreter (for store compliance). But it works! Our beta has already been used by…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
