Great explanation of the package. Will you also cover best practice how to use it? What I mean, after installation of a app, there is no values saved. How do you set default values etc.

Great analysis. I would like to see an analysis of how to work with a local database in SQLite.

Via the documentation: 'We highly encourage any new users of the plugin to use the newer [SharedPreferencesAsync] or [SharedPreferencesWithCache] APIs instead'

I like your content, please keep it up! Great teacher. Could you please cover Firebase Auth. Others have done it, sure, but could you cover CRUD for Anonymous User Startup with a login page? I feel like I cant find it in a complete video and is a good basic setup for a flutter app. Thanks
