Web

You can reach the PWA here.

Build from source code

First you need to install flutter and all the tooling for your target platform (e.g. Android Studio for Android, etc.). Then you have to install two tools:

• dart pub global activate melos (useful to easily manage the repository)
• dart pub global activate vector_graphics_compiler (useful to compile the svg icons)

Then, run melos bootstrap in the root of the project in order to get all the dependencies, generate the translation files and optimize the svg icons. Then follow the instructions for the platform you want to target.

Android

On Android you should first disable the signing option in android/app/build.gradle Then you can type flutter build apk --split-per-abi to compile the code. You can find the output in build/app/outputs/flutter-apk folder.

Linux

Type flutter build linux to build the Linux app. You can find the output in build/linux/x64/release/bundle.

Windows

Type flutter build windows to build the Windows app. You can find the output in build/windows/runner/Release.

Web

Type flutter build web to build the Web app. You can find the output in build/web.

Note: if you deploy it not on the base path, add --base-href=/path/ to the command above, change /path/ with your path.

iOS and MacOS

The app is not tested against iOS and MacOS, but you should be able to compile it even for these platforms. You first need to generate the platform specific code and then compile them.
