Messagely is a simple Flutter project, aiming to teach me good programming practices in Flutter and Dart. It has no goal otherwise learning Flutter. It is neither production-ready, nor will never be. Of course, it has not to be closed-source. You’re free to enjoy the work, use it to learn, play with it, build stronger bases, etc. Just remember to say thanks, I love receiving sweet words!
As it is a simple Flutter project, you can get started easily. Below are some resources to get you started into Flutter development.
You obviously need to install Flutter. It consists in one folder you can unzip anywhere and just point your path to the bin
folder. You’re good to continue.
Run flutter doctor
. It is an amazing tool which’ll help you install everything needed. Remember to install XCode and Android Studio. You also have some dependencies you need to get with Homebrew. Don’t be afraid, everything works smoothly.
Clone the repo:
git clone git@github.com:ghivert/messagely.git
Once you’re done, launch your text editor, and run flutter run
in your terminal (or do your stuffs if you’re using Code or Android Studio).
You’ll maybe have to configure an emulator. You can create one easily using Simulator
in macOS or Android Studio.
Enjoy!

For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation, which offers tutorials, samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.
One final point about naming. The application is named Messagely, a contraction of Message and the -ly suffix. Because at Wolfox, we strongly believe every word finishing with -ly is way more beautiful and cute than it’s normal version.
We’re looking for Flutter developers at Wolfox, to work on private and clients projects. Don’t hesitate to mail me if you want more information. We’re mainly focused on web and application projects, but we’re real geeks, and love trying and using awesome languages and frameworks, like PureScript, ClojureScript, Haskell, Scala, Flutter, Elm, Functional JS and all the things cool kids love!
Everthing is MIT licensed! Use it at your will! But think to say thanks, or let a star! 😉
Want to contribute in any way (and, well, I don’t know what you could do, but who knows)? Feel free to submit issues or pull requests!
