PhotoPulse - iOS and Android application

PhotoPulse is a Flutter-based mobile application for iOS and Android, developed specifically for my software engineering master's studies. The project was a key part of two courses: Advanced Mobile Programming, which delved into complex mobile development techniques and emerging technologies, and Advanced Application Development Based on Design Templates, focusing on sophisticated design patterns. Emphasis was placed on adhering to SOLID principles, ensuring that the app's design was robust, maintainable, and scalable. These courses provided deep insights into efficient app development strategies and the practical application of theoretical concepts.

🛠️ Architecture & Libraries

• Architecture: The app follows Clean Architecture principles and integrates with Flutter Riverpod. The data layer manages data retrieval and storage, interfacing with databases and remote servers while maintaining a loose coupling with the domain layer for better organization and maintainability. The domain layer encompasses the business logic and core functionalities, acting as a bridge between the data layer and the presentation layer. Finally, the presentation layer is focused on user interface and interaction, utilizing widgets and other UI components to create an engaging and responsive user experience.
• State Management: Managed with Riverpod.
• Authentication: Implemented using Firebase Auth.
• Remote Database: Cloud Firestore.
• Photo Storage: Firebase Storage.
• Firebase Functions: Utilized for server-side logic, such as action logging, user management tasks, and automating back-end processes. Firebase functions are available on the 'firebase_functions' branch.
• Local Database: Isar.
• Map: flutter_map.
• Environment Management: Utilizes flavorizr for different build environments and envied for environment variables.
• Navigation: Handled by go_router.
• UI Enhancements: Contains animations to enrich the user experience.
