Estimate your tasks in this scrum poker planning session
This project is meant to be a full open source product. Everything is (and will be) documented so everyone can participate and learn from it.
This product must be able to be used by anyone, so the more platforms where it runs, and the more accessible it is the better.
The frontend technology chosen to develop this project is: Flutter
The main reasons to choose Flutter as development frontend framework:
- Multiplatform framework. The very first dilemma that I faced as a single developer who
has to build an entire product by himself is how to invest properly my limited time.
The first idea that came to my mind is:
Write once run everywhere. - Huge community behind. The community is pretty big, lots of articles, lots of questions on stackoverflow. So in case of needing help I know where to look for it.
- Solid company behind. Google is actively developing Flutter in the most open-source way possible. Meanwhile, Google is well-known for abruptly abandoning some of their project (I still love Project Tango). However, Flutter is being really well-received by developer community, and it will be the main framework for building apps in Fuchsia.
Github Actions is the chosen solution for continuous integration / delivery because:
- Integrated in the repository
- Huge community developing really useful actions
- Free for open-source projects
- Linux, MacOs and Windows supported, so it fits the compilation needs of this project
The Continuous Integration system for this project will run on every push/merge to master and every push to a pull request. There are four things that will be checked:
- Unit tests
- End to end tests for Web
- End to end tests for Android
- End to end tests for iOS
If all those four checks are green you will be able to merge your branch to master.
