Wondering if someone with no programming knowledge in the age of AI can create an app in Flutter? Me too, so I took the plunge. Designer with maximum knowledge of html, css and time for long communication with Chat GPT. It went pretty smoothly, the hardest part was installing Flutter SDK, running the emulator and setting everything up to work for me. I then described to the AI what I wanted to achieve, and how it should work. I backed it all up with a screen design from Figma that can read GPT without any problems. When something didn't work, all I had to do was screen the error in the console and the chat code modified. Occasionally it happened that he forgot about a change we made a few steps back, and so the old bug was repeated in the new code. Nothing that another chat wouldn't fix. Long story short, I'm impressed with what Chat GPT can do in this regard and I think there will be more apps in the stores than ever before.  📏 Oh, and try that app for travelers to convert units from imperial to metric and vice versa and let me know what you think.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime

Hat off – if you created this solely with the help of ChatGPT, this can encourage more people to create their own apps. You are a good example! Regarding the app: I installed it and tested. The design is pleasing to the eye – probably the subtle orange-purple gradient does it. Nothing complicated for UX, and the overall impression – is great. The idea for the next product (currency converter – with crypto including) 😄 Appreciate this proactive approach. Prajem veľa šťastia pri dnešnom launchi, Jarda a Filip! :)

@busmark_w_nika Thanks, Nika, I was really pleasantly surprised at how well ChatGPT worked, a little bit of a hitch here and there, but by the end of the weekend I had exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the tip on the next project, I already know I'll be testing this collaboration again with my next idea. Měj se a ať se daří :)

This is amazing! As a non-programmer, I've always been fascinated by app development but intimidated by the technical hurdles. Your experience with ChatGPT is truly inspiring. It's incredible to see how AI is democratizing app development.

Wow, this is so inspiring! It’s amazing to see what’s possible with AI tools like ChatGPT, even without a programming background. Your journey of diving into Flutter as a designer is super relatable—I’m sure a lot of people will find this encouraging! Quick question: what was the most surprising or unexpected part of the process for you? Also, I’d love to try the app—converting units is always a lifesaver when traveling. 🚀🌍
