Awsome video !

Here is an idea for the next video:

In the video, you will start with a simple search interface. You will select a specific category from the available options. After making your selection, the video will take you to another page.

On this new page, you will see multiple dropdown menus. Each dropdown menu will present a specific question related to the chosen category. Additionally, each question will have multiple specific answers for you to choose from.

As you select your answers from the dropdown menus, each answer will have a specific value assigned to it. These values are designed to represent the importance or relevance of your choices.

Once you have made selections for all the questions in the dropdown menus you press continue and will transition to a third page. On this page, you will find a quick recap or summary of the answers you provided in the previous step.

Finally, on the third page, you will have the option to post your resume or provide any additional information based on the answers you provided.

Than just post it all on a forth page.

Thanks!

Amazing video! I'm curious, what software do you use to record your screen that zooms in and out like that?

This is an awesome video, but I am a bit stuck on filtering an array of data - I can get through all your instructions until the point comes when I need to choose what piece of data I am looking for to compare my original array to. In your case you had the option for combined text or code expression, but for my case I want to use a widget state or app state and both would be strings. Flutterflow is only giving me the option to select lists of strings (single strings are non-selectable) and when I select the list of strings, it too tells me the variable is not valid. Any suggestions??

Hi, thanks for a tutorials. Could you build a cost estimator app? I checked all over the net and could not find anything like that.

Great video! I got stuck in the conditional filter with the search bar because I used lists instead of column and I dont have the option to conditional value in lists. Do you know how to do that in this case?

I have exactly the same template page as you. As of 02/06/2024, if I do like you (querying my list of documents from a firestore collection) on the first column, flutterflow tells me that it will generate dynamically the children. Does anybody have the same problem ?

hi Bro, what about image preparation? To show them in this consistent, beautiful way

[alikibao]

Great video Jos. Thanks. Does this work for millions of records as well? Do you have any suggestions on sorting?

[Creafusion]

Nice demo ! Very useful.
Did you ever tried with multiple languages? Cause I experience a weird bug that my filters works perfectly when they are in english as the terms are in english, but when they are translated (ex: in french) the filters don't work anymore, cause even dough the categoriez are translated, it keeps filtering on english and look into french so ofc .. it doesn't work ^^
Any idea to fix this ?
Keep the good work !

I'm trying to watch the video to learn how to use the checkbox, but I have to rock like I'm on a small boat in stormy weather. Why are there so many scrolling, zooming in and zooming out effects in the video? I can't keep watching anymore :(
