Starter Architecture Flutter Firebase

Abstract

1. Introduction

This is intended as a reference app based on my Riverpod Architecture.

All the data is persisted with Firestore and is kept in sync across multiple devices.

2. Objective

Time Tracking app with Flutter & Firebase

This project demonstrates how Dart, Firebase, Flutter can be applied to a real-world Mobile App Development problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• Simple onboarding page
• Full authentication flow (using email & password)
• Jobs: users can view, create, edit, and delete their own private jobs (each job has a name and hourly rate)
• Entries: for each job, user can view, create, edit, and delete the corresponding entries (an entry is a task with a start and end time, with an optional comment)
• A report page that shows a daily breakdown of all jobs, hours worked and pay, along with the totals.
