A Great UI Is All Your App Needs
I saw a review of an app with 500K+ downloads and could not believe how bad the code was…
A few days ago, I came across a Youtube video reviewing a famous open-source app written in Flutter. The app is called Cashew.
Cashew is a full-fledged, feature-rich application designed to empower users in managing their finances effectively. Built using Flutter — with Drift’s SQL package, and Firebase — this app offers a seamless and intuitive user experience across various devices. Development started in September 2021.
Some facts about the app:
- 500K+ downloads, 4.9 rating (Android, iOS)
- Featured on Youtube and in articles
- Massive feature list
- 1 developer
Since there is always something to learn, I watched the video and looked at the code. But I wasn’t prepared for the chaos.
