Implementing Syde(An online Forum) in Flutter
What is the project about?
Most times as developers and tech enthusiasts, we want to share our experiences; what we are building, learning, reading etc
Also as developers, we would love to Connect with other developers in the tech space. To bridge that gap, I decided to build "Syde".
Syde is a mobile application that will serve as an online tech community for developers and tech enthusiast.
Users get to sign in using Google authentication. After successful authentication, users can then navigate the features of the platform. Enlisted are made available to users.
- Users can create a thread with their experiences and share in the community. This could be what they are working on, what they are learning. issues or anything related.
- Users can engage in the general chat group
- Users can view other users profile
- Users can directly message other users
- Users can create Todos via the platform
- Users get notifications on tech events, jobs etc
