Great call out on building apps. As a UX Designer, we need to define what problem we are solving, who are we solving it for, and the customer journey of the app. Otherwise, we just start publishing trash that no one cares about. At your point, it won't matter what tool we use if we don't have those fundamentals in place.

Aspiring software dev and let me tell you something, I watched when Flutter Flow released years ago and it was NOTHING compared to this!

Thanks so much. I am new to App creation and was looking around as to what software is used to create new apps and found FlutterFlow and your excellent introduction. I am wanting to create an app for our Scouts club and make the experience individual to the member when they are logged in. Like show them what badges they have earned so far etc.. and also to book trips and make payments for such. Then allow access to learning material. So what you have described today is really helpful, thank you. I am now going to start on the backend database so I can hopefully customise the screen with the users accreditations based on say Badge 1 = 0 or 1 and if 1 display the badge on their page :-) Anyway I am sure this has been done somewhere before.

Your tutorial is very clear and helpful. But problem: I'm an absolute beginner and have been following along trying to build my first app as you're teaching me in this program. But I can't get beyond agreeing to terms of service. It takes me to where it's supposed to be allowed to agree, and then keeps telling me to Try Again, with the particular error message given "There was an unknown error while processing the request." Then "Try again," and it's a doom loop. Help!

Thank you for such a great beginner friendly intro. Does flutterflow has any limitations in terms of the kind of app one wants to build?

[@docwilliams]

No problem! To answer that question it really depends on the application you're trying to build. Every platform has limitations so it depends on the functionality you need. Feel free to give more details on the type of app you're building if you want me to give a more detailed answer. Take care!

[@SeriousCigars]

Doc, How are you. I am designing a new version of my fishing tournament app. The app allows a user to create a tournament, invite anglers to the private tournament, specifies what type of fish are allowed, scoring types, etc. Lots of variables. App allows for notifications when other users submit a catch. Needs an tournament directors backend for large tournaments to verify catches with photos, etc. Needs overall admin backend for problem logins, etc. Is this something that Flutter can do? There is lots of reporting on the app that can get complicated. So much more.

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! From what you're describing yes that's possible. Rehgarding the reporting I think building it with essential stats and scaling the functionality overtime is key to make sure the information and dashboards are concise and it doesn't become too overwhelming but in general yup the platform can the functions you're looking for. Hope that helps and keep me posted on your progress!

Hi I’m very new to this, I’m planing on making an app that enables users to create packing lists for going on holiday or on trips. The idea is that you can organise everything you need to pack and have functionality to tick items off the list when you have packed them. I am also planning on adding a feature where you can add the weight of an item and then the total weight of your luggage is calculated. Within Flutterflow would it be possible to import a library of the weight of items, or create one myself, of common items, and then have it so that when someone adds, say a MacBook to their list, it is able to find the weight of it from the library then add it to the weight section? Hopefully this makes sense, my plan is to start with very basic functionality and then build from there, just curious if this would be possible somewhere down the line. Thanks for the video.

[@docwilliams]

No problem and congrats on the start of your journey! In general yes. You could do this a few different ways. For example, you can do that being creating a collection of different items that have weights or you could create a page for users to be able to add to the overall database for the app so now other users could select common items. Hope that helps and keep me posted on your progress!

# replay Hello I have a question about an app I’m wanting to create, and you probably get allot of them but this one might be unique? So I’m looking to build an app or martial arts students specifically for one school. I want it to be able to play a video that we are able to upload and have the capability to change the playback speed at will. We want to have an ability to lock specific parts of this app until approved by the instructor. This will allow the students to only be able to access the curriculum or videos at there belt rank. Then if we could add a messaging platform on it aswell that would be awesome that way the instructor can post polls or quizzes or announcements in a group chat to the students on the app.

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks for stopping by! It could be possible but a few things would have to happen. Regarding the playback speed you might need to use a third party video player that is embedded into the app for that feature. Regarding unlocking content you could do that with logic based on actions. polls and quizzes you could do with forms. All these are possible actions but I would first focus on one main feature and then build as your scaling the app. Hope that helps, take care!

[@kru3d36]

Great video, thx for doing it. Question: When you started working with FlutterFlow, what was your overall coding level? Attempting to quantify the lift to get proficient at FlutterFlow.

[@docwilliams]

No problem glad to help! Great question. At the time my coding skills were very low and that's why I chose no code tools like FlutterFlow. For the landscape of all no code tools FlutterFlow does have a steep learning curve on the level of bubble (their workflow and framework are totally different though). Softr is the easiest and glide is very beginner friendly but FlutterFlow you do need to understand the key principles to use the platform. In general I would first start with- what is your goal with the platform? Are you trying to build a specific type of applications or learn become an expert of the platform to get clients etc.

[@docwilliams]

Glad it was helpful! I don't see why you couldn't but you would have to build out the logic and depends the exact way you set up your backend database but in general I think that could be done. There are some details you would need to consider but in general the functionality you describe you could do in FF.

Although each product has individual data. Thank you in advance!

Hey Jan! Great question! How familiar are you building with no code tools? In general you need the staff to input their info in a form element to submit the information and it will save in the database (that you need to set up in firebase or supabase etc). Regarding getting information from a database it depends what you mean. Are they interacting with the data or only viewing it?

Hey glad it was helpful! To answer your question- yes, it's possible to have an offline line mode for the db to sync when you're back online. This will take a custom approach based on the actions you're saving etc but it is possible. Please note I would first go into the FF community or pay for an expert to walk you through options and the extent and actions you do in offline mode.

Depends on the full extent and functionality but yes you def can with basic features. For more information check out this information- docs.flutterflow.io/advanced-functionality/chat-+-group-chat Hope that helps take care!

Can you build an app that can pinpoint the location of the person using the app?

[@docwilliams]

Depends on the permissions in the app and other details but it is possible.

[@renepronk3792]

I want to create an app (iOS/Android/web) that allows me to track the trips of different drivers with their own login accounts (about 40) using various vehicles each day. Additionally, the app should have the ability to record manually the start and end times of their shifts. For each trip, the license plate, the location and time of the start of the trip, the location and time of the end of the trip, any special notes, and the final odometer reading need to be recorded. The registration should be able to be closed at the end of the day, so that changes cannot be made afterward, except by an administrator. A daily report should be generated that can be sent/printed as an email and/or PDF. Furthermore, I want the database to be accessible from the office so that specific trips can be searched based on license plate and date. The web version for the office only needs a consultation/search function. The mobile version should allow users to browse through the trips taken on the current day and possibly make adjustments as long as the day has not been closed. Additional functionalities will likely be added over time. I’m very curious about flutter flow and I hope it will be possible. I’ll watch your KZbin tutorials. Thanks in advance.

[@docwilliams]

Great details and thanks for the comment! What you described should be possible with FlutterFlow and having something like buildship (buildship.com/) with it as well.

[@thepanda3757]

cool video but can the app be downloaded from the playstore

[@docwilliams]

yes you can. Here's the link for more details- docs.flutterflow.io/settings-and-integrations/app-settings/mobile-deployment/app-store-deployment

[@TheNaive]

can we build ui for automation tool like zapier? I dont know how to do that there is reat library for it. i think react flow it is. But i dont know where it can do it.

[@docwilliams]

Great question! FlutterFlow wouldn't be a good solution for that project. That type of project would best be code based. You could prob do it with bildr but the time and energy would take too long and I thinking coding would be a better solution.

[@ahmads00002]

why it take too long at creating project at starting when i log in at firebase

[@docwilliams]

I would have to see a video or an image to understand more but it could be your internet speed that is playing a part. Feel free to give more details!

I have a basic idea of an app which generates art (not disclosing what it does here) out of words. Need your guidance and help on how i can achieve this. 🙏

[@docwilliams]

Hey thanks for stopping by! It is possible to do this with flutterflow to create an application with text to image. Depends on the LLM and platform you decide to go with but def possible for your idea. Keep me posted on your progress and let me know if you have anymore questions!

[@varunpai3435]

@@docwilliams hey thank you for replying, I am rather looking for text to music, I am sorry, that is what I meant by art, is that possible? Do you have tutorial for something similar? Text to music? I am a complete newbie to this.

[@docwilliams]

@@varunpai3435 gotcha no problem! There are some language models that are capable of doing text to music but if you’re trying develop your own app at this time you would need to have some experience coding. That might change in the next few months because the rapid releases of new features but at this time you need to be able to code use the LMs. If things change I’ll update you or make a video if it’s a popular subject. Please keep in mind there are platforms that allow you to do AI music Generators now but you I have not seen evidence to do this with no code for yourself at this time.

[@varunpai3435]

@@docwilliams cool thank you for your response. Can you tell me which ai based music generators are available? I have a few ideas which I think will be a good way to use apps as tools to get the desired result.

hey i signed up for pro with the 2 week free trail to get access too the instgram template and once i clicked into its getting me to start from basically scratch, i was wanting the template setup exactly like instagram and work backwards like delete things in it i don’t want hahaha is this an option or will i have to do it all myself, thanks doc.

[@docwilliams]

Hey great question! I have looked at that template in a while but in general, templates like that one is helping you get ahead with the format of the app but for it to work like IG you need a database attached and build a lot of the actions you want. If you can give more details of your current skill level with no code builders and experience with APIs or databases I can give some more details that might help you.

[@64Hundid]

Replay and do you build for viewers?
