[@rajdave9862]

You are deserving millions of subscribers. keep patience you will get definitely

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks Raj! I appreciate the words of encouragement. Lets hope the FilledStacks channel can keep providing great value, over time we'll have just as many subscribers as we need.

[@ezalor9555]

I love this content, it's like watching a TV show

[@FilledStacks]

That's probably the best compliment I've received about my content. Thank you very much!

[@HelloXori]

This Series is the best free series ever existed.

[@FilledStacks]

Lets hope I can keep it that way all the way through 😃 Thanks for watching and following along!

[@journals_]

Thanks for this overview. This is some awesome content right here. A lot of programming/software engineering videos out there completely skip over this planning phase.

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you! Yes it's something that I've noticed as well, I'm hoping this will help a bit more to see how the final pieces of code are formulated.

[@tylerthornton9611]

You continue to bring incredible value to the community. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I'm so excited to follow along with your process. The overviews have shown me so much more I didn't even realize that I still need to learn. It's awesome!

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you Tyler, I really appreciate the words of encouragement and thank you for the acknowledgement as well. I hope I can carry over the information I want to share through these videos as it goes much deeper than "just writing code". Thanks for following along and watching.

[@MOhan-ur4ei]

As always the best content ✨ happy to see Go for 100k 🚀 your efforts well deserved 💫

[@FilledStacks]

Thank you! I really appreciate the support. Thank you so much for always commenting and providing feedback. And thanks for following the series, the long wait is over and it's finally time to start writing some code!!!

[@sahilhemnani7417]

In future you'll be portraited as THE great architect designer- DANE :) like Uncle bob is for TDD and clean code- Thanks for all your hard work for making this video :)

[@FilledStacks]

That's a very great compliment. Thank you. I look at their work for inspiration so it's good to know that it shows.

[@ysapaa9173]

Thank you for what you're doing here. That's really helpful and brings great value to the community. I'm sure you put a lot of effort into it, 100k will be here by the end of the year!

[@FilledStacks]

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the acknowledgement. It does take quite a lot of effort. I hope that the channel will reach that. I'll try my best to provide the most amount of value that I possible can. Thanks for watching and following along.

[@limitlesskode]

Would love to see more of this awesome content. 🚀

[@FilledStacks]

I'm hoping that I can keep putting out more! Next week we're writing some cooooooooode! Very excited.

@@FilledStacks Hey..i read at the bottom of the article that we'll be using something related to Google maps(..api) to get nearby restaurants within a particular area..but..there is already a package for that.. it's called geoflutterfire..umm..can we nt use it?..jst curious abt the use case😅

[@madhavamshahi9006]

It uses geohashes for retrieving documents from firebase based on a range in KMs.

[@FilledStacks]

@@madhavamshahi9006 Hey, if it's a good enough package then i'll use it :) I like using packages instead of writing all the functionality myself.

[@joenelsderecho3272]

Nice 😁 I can feel like we're going towards the next step which is doing (coding) the project itself! Your planning is great by the way, it's so detailed. Thank you for doing this, please don't get tired, I'm with you until the end! ♥

[@FilledStacks]

Yeeeaaahhh1!1 We're definitely going there. We're going to be setting up the backend, getting things ready for come development :) I won't get tired, I just hope I'll have enough time between my other commitments to put out a decent chunk of work every week in the form of a video.

[@joenelsderecho3272]

@@FilledStacks yayyy 🥳🥳🥳💖 by the way, do you think we can finish the project in like 3-5 months or so? I keep on checking your channel everyday to check if you uploaded a new video 😅

[@FilledStacks]

@@joenelsderecho3272 haha, no I don't think 3-5 months is reasonable. At least not with all the parts working, we'll most likely be able to place a fake order at that time I think. But the toolset to manage menu's etc won't be complete. I only work on it around 4-8 hours a week, so it's not going to be moving super fast.

[@joenelsderecho3272]

@@FilledStacks Well I'm ready to go with you and follow you even if it will take years! 😁

[@FilledStacks]

@@joenelsderecho3272 haha, I'll try my best to not make it take years.

Good planning so far. I read the dis about SQL v NoSQL, I think there is this fear that Firebase does nothing but provide addresses to documents. Sure sounds like you're making sound choices. Learning that and watching your discussion is invaluable, thank you!

[@FilledStacks]

Hey J. Thanks for bringing that up, it's a discussion I can't fully participate in because of my biased towards NoSQL. I'm not a fan of SQL, it's absolutely amazing at what it does but I struggle with it constantly. Especially the rigid schema definition, which is arguably what gives it it's performance and "Ease of use" for other devs. NoSQL is not something learned about, I found Firebase and thought it was a unique thing they're doing. But it turns out that there's plenty of NoSQL db's out there so I'm assuming that anything can be built with it. I'm actually looking forward to see what limitations we hit and where the tradeoffs are. That's going to give me some valuable insights for my clients and their products as well.

[@jrheisler]

@@FilledStacks This is my first go with NoSQL after literally 30+ years in relational databases. So, flutter kicked my ass learning it quickly, but NoSQL was a mind F&*k! Now I realize it's doing all the work for you. Documents with related Collections is something, the a-typical 1 to many, the essence of SQL/Relational... is built into the simple model of NoSQL. The firebase tools are good too, but it's really just CRUD, simple queries... In Sql I had page long queries. All in the attempt to never duplicate data, to keep your schema clean. Now it's all just addresses with collections. You're analysis is spot on!

[@FilledStacks]

@@jrheisler That's so crazy that you have been jamming SQL for so long. Thanks for sharing that with me, if we ever do need to use it on the channel I'll make sure to include some best practices from your side. Given that amount of experience in SQL I'm sure there's some carry over? If you have any suggestions at any point please let me know. I want this effort to be collaborative, I'm not a specialist in the backend / Data management side. I have experience in it, but i don't specifically specialize in it. So if there's flawed thinking on my side please feel free to correct me. I'm learning through this experience as well.

[@jrheisler]

@@FilledStacks will do!

[@marcosdanieltorres7253]

Thank you so much for all the content you put in!

You're welcome. I've been enjoying the process and I'm excited to start the development of the project.

The slack channel link seems to be broken. Would love to jump in on that discussion.

[@FilledStacks]

it expires whenever I get a new one I think. But the one I send is always broken lol. here's the link join.slack.com/t/filledstacks/shared_invite/zt-mcw04u5t-dTeyH0lPONuzd9i0osk9Gw

We need a flutter firebase architecture

[@FilledStacks]

I've made an entire series about that already :D

[@JAIVALSAIJA]

What is the software you used at the starting of the video for writing?

[@FilledStacks]

That is AutoDesk sketchbook on the iPad. I use it for my drawings and when I do my planning videos.

[@JAIVALSAIJA]

@@FilledStacks Thanks

[@JAIVALSAIJA]

@@FilledStacks Do you prefer Windows or Linux for development?

[@FilledStacks]

@@JAIVALSAIJA At the moment I prefer Windows, sometimes I prefer my Mac. My MBP is a bit old and it gets hot where I live so sometimes it really struggles to stuff when its sitting at 40 degree Celsius internally.

[@FilledStacks]

@@JAIVALSAIJA My pleasure.

[@googler1961]

I would like to work with you dane...... As Intern ......

You should learn my name first haha. We've recently hired a new developer to start his learning process so we have enough hands at the moment. If we expand more I'll keep it in mind.
