These Apps Cost $140. So I Rebuilt them for FREE.

Try FlutterFlow today: bit.ly/3Touttn
The worst part about any app is trying to do anything and... instant paywall. In today's video I recreate 3 EXTREMELY popular applications in the app store using open source technologies that you can use for free.
I use Flutter, FlutterFlow, Firebase, Dart and Python in order to do it all. I walk you through my journey of thinking of how the apps work as well as the funny moments when coding them.

Wow this video took a while to make! I added more sections where you can see my code directly :) That way if you want the nitty gritty, it's there. What do you think?

[@Dadylongarms]

This is so inspiring. Changes how I view these apps. They are just template for us to try and build ourselves. I def look at them thinking I'm not ready yet. But by breaking down how they are made, you really showed how (air quotes) easy ... more so that it is possible for any app to be built for ourselves. Great vid.

[@bluepomodoro3679]

Love this. Especially how you put it as "they are just template for us to try and build ourselves". Makes it a lot easier for beginners to start off their journey in building apps/projects for their portfolio

YES man, I do wanna see more of these types of videos, this kinda stuff overshadows your shorts - that's not meant to be critical but they're actually quite fulfilling to watch (and hopefully to make)

What a total banger of content in few minutes?! You could've made it as trilogy for every app but I'm glad you didn't and just threw it all in one quick easy to watch video

Hey Lewis, Nice vid! Pls can you make a video explaining some of the tools and languages you used in making this

Thats very cool! It would be cool if you did a more technical video where you explain the code and what you use to build the apps.

Weird question, how do you edit your audio cause it's way louder and clearer compared to some other videos?

[@CodingWithLewis]

Haha it's a funny question. So in this video 2 different mics were used. The shot of me in the studio is using a RODE Podmic. The second one (me at my computer) is using a Shure SM7B. Both high quality microphones but often have different cadences to them that make them sound different.
