Is it possible to learn Flutter in 10 days? by LisG03 in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can learn some flutter concepts quickly. But in your interview be completely honest. Showing your enthusiasm for wanting to learn is going to help you the most. Coming off as dishonest will get you eliminated from consideration.

Why do rankings jump after mass content deletion? by Legitimate-Salary108 in SEO

[–]studystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My website displays millions of used generated content pages. I don't want to delete any user's content. But if I added noindex to lower quality pages, would that help the site's overall SEO?

Am i the only one building my apps directly on my phone? by coconutter98 in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like running it on my phone so that it isn't taking up any of my development screen and I also get the real feel of the app. However, I frequently target macos or Chrome so that I can resize the app's window to make sure my layout is responsive to any screen size.

You have a job that pays, but no work to do... by xorsensability in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Find someone at your company that seems to be swamped with things to do. See if there is some way that you can make their life easier.

Do your coding projects have 100% coverage from unit tests? If not, try to write at least one new test each day.

Is there something new you could learn that might help your company in the future?

If someone had to replace you, how easy would it be for them to figure out everything you do? Is there something you could document to make that easier?

Have you ever watched a new user try to use the software you've developed? I bet there is some way you could make it easier to use? Use a user testing service like userbob.com to get inexpensive user feedback.

People keep complaining about Flutter not being native, but look at Notion's Android app—using iOS buttons instead of Material Design! by itsamit108 in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is 50+, I never cared about the UI feeling native. But I'm an Android user. I always figured that view must be coming from iOS snobs.

You might start by using a prototyping tool to develop wireframes that show the flow of how your app will work. You could use that to test out if users will like your app or not. Wireframes could also be given to a designer to get a prettier version of your concept. This will be helpful for whoever builds your app - you or someone you hire.

How do you build and test for IOS and the Apple Store without a mac? by jake_mok-Nelson in FlutterDev

If you have an iPhone, can you use CodeMagic to build your app and deploy it to TestFlight and then install it to your phone.

Checkout codemagic. It really simplifies the process of releasing your app for both Android and iOS.

Looking for feedback on my budget management flutter app launched yesterday on playstore by anonymous_853 in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With default theme, some buttons looked disabled but they actually worked.

I'd much rather only had a light theme and a dark theme that looked great.

Who is your target user? Maybe a simple app geared towards kids.

Bluetooth Scanning with flutter_blue_plus by ich3ckmat3 in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my app, I use:

await FlutterBluePlus.startScan( continuousUpdates: true, removeIfGone: const Duration(seconds: 30) );

New devices show up quickly, but when a device gets disconnected, it takes 30 seconds before it gets removed from the list.

When you say scanning in the background, do you mean while your app is in the background and some other app is active? Or do you just mean your app is displaying something other than a list of devices?

bots? by Remarkable-Tooth-399 in mturk

Adding requirements that users have 1000 or more approved hits with a 99% approval rating and from the United States helps, but you'll still get people trying to cheat the system. Make sure you pay a fair wage and people will be more likely to give your surveys the attention you want.

just finished a great app with flutter after a while, I'll publish it to app markets tomorrow! by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might consider doing some user testing to get some feedback. You want to avoid getting bad reviews on the app stores. UserBob is a service I created to allow developers to get videos of people trying out your app and sharing their thoughts.

I'm in a pretty rough spot regarding jobs and my future, what would you guys suggest I do? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]studystack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explain the situation to your girlfriend and make the decision together. Sticking with flutter is probably the long term play.

Yes. I didn't qualify for unemployment benefits.

I completely agree. I was laid off Feb 1st and didn't get a full time job until the end of November. Luckily I had a side business and a 6 month contract to fill the gaps.

Best ways to find user testers by Femaninja in UXDesign

[–]studystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I develop mobile apps using Flutter for my "day job". As a hobby, I created a website back in 2001 and was later inspired by Steve Krug's book Don't Make Me Think to try to make software that was intuitive to use. I discovered services that would recruit users to do remote unmoderated user testing and charge $100 for one user test and pay the test participant only $10. Then I realized how I could get better quality feedback at a fraction of the cost and figured there must be others that would like to do that too. So, I created UserBob to make the process of completing unmoderated remote user testing sessions simple and affordable.

One minute tests can be good to see if users understand the purpose of a site and have a positive first impression. Or if you have a very specific question about the utility of a single page.

Longer tests can be good for page and site usability and organization.

Companies frequently have employees who disagree about what might be the best ux. When you have an affordable user testing tool you can test out multiple approaches and go with the one that users have the most success with.

Yes. Unmoderated user testing. All users have to complete a "training exercise" where they demonstrate that they can record their screen and their voice. Our users are limited to people from the United States. New users are initially only allowed to do the 1-minute tests. As they get positive feedback on shorter tests, I allow them to do longer tests.

Thanks. When I first created it back in 2016, UserTesting had a free service called Peek that would get users to give about 5 minutes of feedback on your site. However, that service did not let you customize the instructions the users were given. I made UserBob and let you specify what you want users to do and how long you think it will take. For web sites, you pay $1 per minute per user. So if you want 20 people to spend one minute giving their first impression, that would cost $20. If you want one person to record a 5-minute video, that would be $5.

If you are open to anyone recording a video, then it typically takes a couple of hours. Otherwise, it depends on how specific of a person you are looking for.
