Planning a Food Delivery Service open source project

[@puspharajselvaraj8852]

Woooohoooo... please start ..can't wait to see. I've never enabled notification to any other blog. But for you I'm hitting the bell icon forever.

Awesome! Thanks so much. I'm doing the technical planning now, hopefully I can start recording as well and put that video out soon! Thanks for putting on notifications for the channel!

You and ResoCoder have the most cohesive, most useful tutorials out there. I got into flutter development thanks to people like you. Huge thanks for your contribution to the community man! You're awesome!

[@FilledStacks]

What a great comment! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the kind words. I'm honoured to be mentioned with @resocoder he's an awesome teacher and developer. I enjoy sharing and helping out where I can. I'm happy to hear it had made a positive impact.

Thank you! me too. next up is the technical planning which I'll be asking for a lot of input from to ensure that we set this up correctly.

[@tylerthornton9611]

So glad you're back in action, and with more world-class content, too! I don't find the planning stuff dry at all -- in my learning journey, I keep running into rework that smarter planning could have helped me avoid. I've gotten better with practice, but having an experienced, accomplished developer share their process is priceless. You're continuing to provide value to the community that simply isn't available anywhere else. Thank you!

[@FilledStacks]

I'm so happy to be back Tyler! And thanks for the words of encouragement. It's easy to assume that developers won't like the content because there's no code in it, but it makes me very happy to know what there's value in the content that's being recognized by you guys. I appreciate the encouragement and I'll continue putting out more videos.

[@RayhanHibatullah]

one of the most interesting coding tutorials on youtube! now I know what happened in the planning phase and not just following someone's code without knowing beforehand what the architecture looks like. You deserved more viewership

[@FilledStacks]

That's great to know Rayhan! It's weird that the planning video would even be interesting haha, I definitely thought it was going to be a dud, but turns out everyone received the value that I inteded to carry over from it. I'm recording, and hopefully releasing the high level technical stack planning today and will go over the decisions and documents that I've made around it.

[@francescopasin1928]

This.. is AWESOME. This is a very cool idea. Everybody teaches how to create specific stuff but what is really useful (and what people need) is how to "see", and plan a whole project. How to put the pieces together. This is the whole point of creating a well made and maintanable app. Continue this way: trying to find ways to teach everyone something useful and different!

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks Francesco! I really appreciate the kind words and words of encouragement. It's apart of my mission to find the best ways to teach the things that I think matter and the things that have made me able to deliver software and products over such long and consistent timeline. I'm hoping this project makes the difference and that it can be used going forward as an intro to planning and execution when you have an idea. thanks for watching and I appreciate the support.

​@@FilledStacks Happy to hear that. One question though. Is idea of this product going to be a service for restaurants to signup for OR is it meant for a particular restaurant? If it is going to be a service (which I hope it is or should be :-) ), will it not be prudent to have like a "Delivery Management" which interfaces with delivery agencies and depends on the "Order Management"? This "Delivery Management" will then be depended on by the "Driver App" and a "Driver Manager"-- which will be used by the delivery agencies. A total of 11 apps lol What do you think? Please here is a link to what I mean: www.dropbox.com/s/bx7c8xn7q1c9yd5/boxedOut.png?dl=0

[@mawulijo]

Reading through the README, I realized it is a service for restaurants. What u think about my proposal unless you plan to manage the deliveries yourself.

[@FilledStacks]

@@mawulijo It's a service for companies wanting to manage restaurants or a restaurant itself, like uber eats or door dash. Drivers will use the proximity rule at first. If there's not enough drivers to do that we'll add a driver management piece as well.

[@mithushanjalangan5132]

That's very helpful to run through your thought process. Well explained. I'm curious about What the tool you are using to explain ?

[@FilledStacks]

I figured I'd use my ipad to emulate a white board. There are many tools that's easier than the one I'm using. Microsoft Whiteboard is something I was using last night during planning, but then I switched to Autodesk sketch app. Mostly because it has layers and I'll be able to layer some of my explanations and hide / show them as needed.

[@wickedgummybear3104]

Very very interesting to see the complete process. I'm particularly interested in how you will seperate the apps and still have them talking with the different services. I know this will be more code oriented, but how are you planning on tackling UX/UI? I know most of the times the company itself has inhouse styling they need used, but I'm wondering what you'll do with this app. Anyway, awesome first video!

[@FilledStacks]

Wicked! Thanks man, I always appreciate your questions and input. I'm doing the technical planning today so I'll have a clearer answer for you after that than right at this moment. i like planning the separate services because it'll allow you to practice abstraction at a very nice and high level section of the product. It's interesting, you'll see when we get there :) The UI/UX I figured I'd use a basic template and work off that. I bought a template from UI8 that has all the basic Food delivery functionalities. Using that i'll go over what I think is important and make updates to that UI where necessary. If everything is as I want it then i'll keep it as is and just build the UI. I'll have a clearer explanation when we get to building the mobile app, which I'll document and put in the repo and in a video as well.

Hope to hear from you. Thank you.

Those are all the tutorials in order of 1 to latest. I didn't title them Ep1 or Ep2 to ensure I don't chase people away that need the content but think they need to watch everything. Each tutorial can stand on its own so it's titled that way, but the building a food deliver service has 18 videos in it. The series has been stopped because I didn't have time to build another product while actually building 5 other products for companies that we own stakes in. But they're all there.

Hey David! thanks for watching and also for waiting on the next video. I appreciate it. I have already bought a design from ui8 that has all the figma files in it. There will be some modifications to the UI so I will definitely go through them to update the UI and share that as well. I don't know about converting the UI to figma, specifically because I'll need to add my viewmodel logic which will most likely make me build the UI differently. More separated. But it's an option! I'll definitely see what it spits out and then make my decision after that.

Hello there, I have not watched a video of yours(until now) as I am now following Reso Coder's DDD series, but I am really excited to see your way to code and the architecture you will use... Do you have any idea of how much time will take to have the series finished? and also, could you please activate automatic subtitles? Also how does the stacked architecture compare to DDD? thank you.

[@FilledStacks]

Hey Alexandru, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I'm also very excited for this series. Well I can tell you that a fully fledges system where we only rebuilt 2 of the client applications took a year. Here we're building everyting, starting at a smaller scale and then working up to more functionality. because of that I'd say at minimum a year, so you can skip the vids for now and watch when the final one is out haha. I can activate automatic subtitles as well. I don't think it's an option, but I'll do that. Well, based on that question I don't think you quite yet understand the difference between a state management solution and a design pattern / style. Domain Driven Design is a methodology to follow that allows you to build your application with the Domain as the leading factor (Things specific to your product or code base). Stacked is a state management solution, the two cannot be compared. You can actually use DDD and then use stacked as your state management solution. The architecture really doesn't matter . If you understand what Eric Evans mentions in this video you'll see that the architecture / state management you use with DDD is not the main focus. It's a side effect of using DDD . kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn7Ymomio6ykoM0 I hope that helps.

[@alexandrufilipescu1301]

@@FilledStacks First of all, that you for your very long answer, it is really useful! Also, I want in the end(when I will be prepared) to build a real app that can be used by people. After finishing the DDD course, what would you suggest me to do? start my own small/test project? I don't really understand when you should stop looking at tutorials... But I want to make a robust application. Thank you again for your time and precious information.

[@FilledStacks]

@@alexandrufilipescu1301 You're welcome. I'm happy to give insights where I can. The best thing to do in any scenario is to start building an app immediately. If you know the basics then start building. This process will tell you what you need to learn. If you're a beginner I would recommend that you don't follow any of the DDD or other design paradigms around code. The reason is that you will find it all useless at the beginning. It's a lot of additional stuff for no additional benefits. just build something using setState, don't use anything else. Once that becomes painful find ways to do it better. And then keep improving. We have an inherent advantage over every other industry and that's the ability to truly do incremental improvements at 0 cost. What that means is that a structural engineer can't build a "shitty" structure and expect to iterate on it in a month or so, they'll have to tear it all down and then rebuild it so iteration has traditionally been very expensive in all fields. It's not for us, it costs us $0 to change our mind, architecture and entire product. So you should use that to your advantage to move faster and grow your knowledge base in a more effective manner. Build something, don't listen to any of us, once you get stuck and you have a problem find a video or article specifically to cover your problem then learn it and continue building something. That's the best I can do to answer that questions. Focus on good coding principles, start with the SOLID principles those are what's used in all architectures so if you understand that you'll understand all engineered systems to a certain extent.

@@FilledStacks Thank you a lot! I am just wondering how you don't have yet way more subscribers, you provide very valuable and helpful advice.

[@FilledStacks]

@@alexandrufilipescu1301 haha, I don't know myself. Well I do have some reasons: 1. I don't ask people to like or subscribe, and it's proven that they won't. 2. Most people are still stuck on BLoC and I make no BLoC content. 3. I only use the architecture that I use in production in my videos 4. I only share code one it works in production, which means I'm not putting out videos about "hot topics" 5. I have no "flashy" videos. My videos are for the developers that will be working on a project and code base for 3+ years. Not just a quick tutorial then its done. So the audience isn't that large. 6. I don't make videos for beginners, you have to know flutter and understand certain coding princinples to watch my videos, so I alienate a lot of the viewership the larger channels depend on. There's probably more, but I'm happy with what the channel has. I'm pushing for more. I've set a goal for 100k this year, crazy goal but I'll try my best to get there. And I'll start asking devs to subscribe as well :) That might help a bit.

[@Juliapak]

thank you mister!!!

[@FilledStacks]

It's my pleasure 😊

[@Steph-sm5pb]

Cool video, in which part of SA are you based?

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks, I am in the Western Cape in the Wine lands :D

[@jrheisler]

I missed this one. Great content. What are you using for your video? Nice approach, I have to catch up!

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you. I'm using my ipad and drawing in an app called AutoDesk sketch app. But it can be done in any app that allows you to draw on a tablet. Then I edit my actual exported videos with Davinci resolve

[@jrheisler]

@@FilledStacks I thought you were free handing. I can't draw, so I've started doing videos with doodly to do step throughs for our apps.

[@FilledStacks]

@@jrheisler That sounds interesting. I might take a look at that too. I'm doing all free hand drawing, I'm more comfortable with it but I'm not very accurate

[@ajnaf7277]

Great 👌 Good luck

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks! I'll definitely need it, this is a large undertaking

[@denniszoma]

one questions though: where are the driver- and restaurant-accounts stored? in the user-db as well with different roles?

[@FilledStacks]

That will all be decided in episode 3 where we'll determine the models and collections required to represent the functionality that we'd want to achieve. There's no technical talk in the high level planning. Episode two will be the technical planning, that's selecting the technology stack, the source management pattern for the serverless architecture. how we'll structure the code to ensure multiple version releases, etc. That's in the next episode, only after we know all of that can we decide on our schema for the data.

welcome back :)

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks! I'm very happy to be back!

[@fuadall8961]

Nice tutorial for flutter. 👍 But is firebase good choice for such product. Such dependency on firebase ..🤔 In real world using your own server and nodejs backend micro services would be right decision using firebase admin sdk.

[@FilledStacks]

Yes it is, for us. I would rather not write my own server and focus on the product. We're actually moving our new startup from an existing RUST backend with GQL back to Firebase because there's so many things we can do in Firebase that's better than a manually built server.

[@oliverbytes]

Great!!

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you! Appreciate you still hanging around after me being away for a few weeks :D

[@oliverbytes]

@@FilledStacks yeah I notice you're not that active anymore. Me as well due to busy life with family. How about you? Do you still use flutter as your main tool for your projects?

[@FilledStacks]

@@oliverbytes I'm still active as a flutter developer, I just wasn't posting videos. my company uses only Flutter for client development so we're still coding in Flutter literally every day. just switched to making videos every 2 weeks instead of every week. Now I'm gonna try and go back to 1 a week for this year.

[@oliverbytes]

@@FilledStacks great to hear!! Can't wait to see more videos from you! More power to you Dane!!!

[@FilledStacks]

@@oliverbytes Much appreciated. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

[@AbhayYadav-ck5sh]

I think you should use mongodb with Apollo GraphQL for backend & Vue js or React for web frontend.

[@FilledStacks]

Those are good suggestions but I won't be doing a web frontend in the first round of this development. We'll focus only on the mobile apps which will be built with Flutter and the backend I'll use Firebase. most likely Typescript, or nodeJs. I'd like to use .net core but don't know how well supported the packages are and the tooling for google cloud functions

[@jeremaine]

@@FilledStacks +1 for .net core :)

[@FilledStacks]

@@jeremaine I would love that too. I'll see the support for it and how much we can do.

[@jayantsharma2669]

I am currently learning flutter. Can I follow along with you or after completion of my flutter course, So that I can understand things more better?

[@FilledStacks]

Great! Welcome to the Flutter world. You would have to understand Flutter before you follow along with this. I won't explain any beginner things, I'll just be building the service and giving architecture overview of why we're doing certain things.

[@jayantsharma2669]

@@FilledStacks I got it. I will follow this project after some time... Thanks for the videos 😀

[@FilledStacks]

@@jayantsharma2669 you're welcome :) I hope you come back and follow along when you're readu.

dude thanks for this

Lets hope I can deliver as much as I promised. I'll try my best to make this an informative and hopefully a collaborative experience.

@@FilledStacks No doubt you will man. Great content so far. Keep it coming. Ik everyone will appreciate this. Take you time. Quality is worth the wait.

Awesome ♥️

I have a feeling it's going to be a great experience :)

[@googler1961]

How much the total cost of project ? Just asking for knowledge......Please share with us, so we can know

[@FilledStacks]

At the moment it'll only be my time that's costing the company money. I could make around $80 an hour if I put my time into my company development. I spend about 16 hours a week on the project to make progress and the videos so that's $1280 usd a week which would be $66560 USD a year that I'm spending on making this series. But it doesn't exactly work out that way for me. For every few videos I make I get a new client which wants to work with me. If I take up their work partnership we'll make all that money back and more. So at the moment it costs us $0 to make the series because all of the tools I'm using will be free. I think to run it will all depend on the amount of traffic. If it costs any amount of money to run you'll most likely have a good amount of traffic, so you'll be making that money back anyway.

[@googler1961]

@@FilledStacks Thanks for such a nice information......Looking more from you... ⚡

[@abdikarimosman2511]

where is project is finished

[@FilledStacks]

There’s only 17 episodes out. still about 40 until we can have a basic flow through the app complete

[@NOURTCS]

prefect Very GoOoD

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you. I'm happy that you find it useful.

[@royayon]

Plz plz... include web support also... (besides App) Cheers...

[@FilledStacks]

Hey Ayon, I'm not an experienced web developer and would most likely not be able to build the best web clients since I really don't understand CSS. Flutter web app maybe. We'll have all the mobile code so it'll be a good set of videos to convert an existing mobile app to a working website. I might do that when the series is done.

[@danthegoodman_]

What ipad app is this?

[@danthegoodman_]

Its autodesk sketchbook apparently

[@FilledStacks]

Yes, autodesk sketchbook. It's what I use to do my digital drawings so I figured I'd use it instead of a whiteboarding app because of the layers and how comfortable I am with it
