Flutter OctoberFest

After a long summer hiatus, we're thrilled to welcome you to the exciting "Flutter Octoberfest Theme" event, which will take place on October 19 at Media Markt Saturn, a leading destination for technology enthusiasts. Join us for an evening of knowledge sharing, networking, and celebration of all things Flutter!

Topics:
Jonas Uekötter
Quality throughout the Mobile Application Lifecycle
In this enlightening talk, Jonas Uekötter will guide us through the steps taken to ensure a bug-free experience for our customers throughout the mobile application lifecycle. These steps begin with thorough PR reviews and testing and culminate in continuous monitoring. Jonas will also shed light on why adopting a "shift left" mindset isn't enough for our scale, while a "shift right" mentality may not always be suitable for mobile apps.

Khalit Hartmann
Smart Push Notifications
Join Khalit Hartmann as he introduces the groundbreaking concept of "Smart Pushes." This strategy aims to elevate the effectiveness of push notifications by harnessing sensor data from mobile devices. By discerning user context, such as device motion, we've developed a real-time, on-device machine learning model. This model intelligently decides when to deliver push notifications, resulting in enhanced user engagement while preserving user privacy. Discover how Smart Pushes not only boost notification performance but also reduce user annoyance when notifications are less likely to be opened.

Supercharged Design System: Enhancing Widget Cataloging, Testing, and Collaboration with Designers
Creating beautiful UI has never been easier with Flutter. However, managing and organizing widgets effectively can pose challenges for developers, particularly when it comes to organizing them, testing them in all their different use cases, and maintaining design-code consistency. In this talk, we will see how we can use the open-source Flutter package Widgetbook to build our own design system/widget library and test our widgets across different devices, themes, and languages. We will connect our Figma designs directly to our Flutter widgets and set up a CI/CD integration with Widgetbook that simplifies the review process with designers. Thereby, we will learn how to keep design and code in sync.
