Down The Aisle 💍

A multiplatform wedding planner app that helps you manage all your wedding-related tasks from A to Z 💒

🚧 Work In Progress

Please note that Down The Aisle is currently a work-in-progress. Due to lack of time in my schedule, only a few preview features have been implemented and deployed for demonstration purposes. The goal is to demonstrate that a multiplatform full-stack system can be written only using the Dart ecosystem.

Note: This script assumes that you have installed FVM (which is mentioned in the tech-stack list above). Therefore please install it if you haven't already.

chmod +x scripts/change_flutter_version.sh; ./scripts/change_flutter_version.sh NEW_FLUTTER_VERSION

where NEW_FLUTTER_VERSION is the version you want to upgrade to. For example:

🖼️ Design Credits

"Credit where credit is due". Therefore, the complete credits (and a shoutout) for the designs of this app go to Nickelfox Design. I took inspiration from their freely available design file on Figma by the name of Indian Wedding Planning App. Do check out the rest of their designs to take inspiration for your next app, they're really cool!

📚 Resources

The requirement I faced while developing the frontend module of this system (i.e. to achieve a smooth transition while switching between pages while also being able to maintain their states) forced me to take inspiration from the world and create + publish my own first flutter library called easy_animated_indexed_stack.

You can find it on:

1. pub.dev (easy_animated_indexed_stack)
2. And I have also written a Medium article explaining and demonstrating the need behind it and its benefits
