My health hasn't been great since arriving in Thailand. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel better, but I know I won't fully recover until I'm back home. After a quick trip to Koh Tao, we're now enjoying our time on Koh Phangan. We still think this is the best place to be. 🌴

I arrived in Bangkok yesterday, so I must have chosen the right day. There are lots of nice people, but there is hardly any breathable air. I will be happy when I travel on to Koh Samui soon. I hope I can find the necessary inspiration to do some coding there.

I'm currently busy coding with the help of Claude, Gemini, and MS Copilot. I've been pleasantly surprised by Copilot's performance - it's been providing complete code suggestions without me having to ask for them. Its suggestions are even more creative than Claude's! Loving it! 😄

I initially thought I would prefer using FlutterFlow, but now I enjoy using Flutter in Android Studio alongside Gemini AI. It's a great combination, and the best part is that I'm really starting to learn how to code!😊

I use AI for that. Claude sonnet is really good in creating mermaid code. Give him your documentation and he will create the diagrams for you.

Good morning everyone! Finished up the app logic for the MVP version. Now onto designing the frontend. I love dark mode UI, so I'll be playing around with some color palettes and building a simple design system. Let's see what I can come up with! #buildinpublic #Android #FlutterDev #uiux #uidesign

Good morning 🦋 and #buildinpublic community! Hope you have a fantastic Monday to kick off the week! Ready to fuel up now! 🚀 Are there any coffee lovers among you?

After beginning with simple hand sketches for my app's logic flow chart, I've now moved on to creating more detailed drawings in Figma.

I'd love to hear about your approach for creating mobile apps. Can't wait to hear from you! 😊

I've watched countless Figma tutorials and now I'm diving into sketching out the initial LoFi wireframes for my app's pages. ChatGPT, my trusty colleague, is by my side as always. 🚀

Just stumbled upon goblin.tools that breaks down tasks into smaller subtasks. It's really helpful!😊

Alright, ready for the next round!

After a couple of prompts and some brainstorming with Claude.ai, I've got my first draft of my app logic! Claude even gave me a beautiful mermaid.live diagram of it. 😊

Done!

I'm currently exploring Cursor for programming with Flutterflow and came across another AI coding assistant called Windsurf. It looks promising, so I'll definitely giving it a try! 😊

I really love good design and I'm looking to learn how to incorporate it into my work. I was thinking about checking out this book on the topic. What do you think? Any other recommendations for someone just starting out with programming apps using FlutterFlow?
