FlutterFlow is a low-code builder for native apps, bringing design and development into one tool. With drag-and-drop functionality, you can build pixel-perfect UIs and easily connect your app to live data via Firebase or APIs. Plus, you can add advanced features like push notifications, payments, animations, and more. Whether you build your own custom widgets or write custom code, FlutterFlow makes it easy to bring your app ideas to life.

Please make the ability to open multiple screens and panels at once… for example, having Data Types and the Visual Editor both open at the same time.

I’m streaming an OpenAI response via BuildShip to a Markdown object in my UI, the text that I’m getting looks unstyled, is there a way to style this markdown? I tried with a custom widget but still no luck, I would appreciate any help

[thampire]

Please add an easy way to process webhooks, im dying out here using cloud functions lol

[tes-a]

why you dont make a template
login logout with google, smtp email, and rest api (cruds) so we will subscribe.
give us a template (not with firebase /supabase/ rest api from open api) real rest api (blog post with login logout, comments)

[ozanbilgili]

great video! but an other request, please add refresh to listview when new document add to Firebase. Ty❤

[alessandro.depoli]

Can you please share the "lastListofMessages" custom functions that you use at 10:26? Thank you

[AniBanerji]

All these videos are super helpful. Thank you FlutterFlow.

[daleoshea]

I'm currently doing it by combining build ship and flutter-flow. Will doing it directly with FF improve response time or not make much of a difference?

[flutterflowexpert]

Great video FF! Keep on the new features. From an API lover! <3 btw, why are you using the app state? Isn't it better in this case to use page state instead?

[sujaritnrc]

best. next if possible, pls tutorial for google map complete set such as near by, from your distance is 1 kilo, realtime tracking (for delivery).

[szmeszme]

Thank you flutterflow! But i have a problem, I am using OpenAI API for my app, and the challenge is that when I try to chat with my documents via the api call, the assistant on my app says "the files have not been uploaded" yet have uploaded the files in my OpenAI account and when I chat with the assistant there in OpenAI works just fine, can chat with my files. What could be the proble? A bug or what?

[adeterminedpolarbear]

can you even do this with firebase where it shows in the chat log in real time?

[clarkmakes]

Whew. Some of hese comments are.. ugh.. a lot. Desperation. Bitterness. Loneliness. If youre here with so much negative heat, srsly, get help. Don't burn up. Don't burn out.

[vishalkumar-yiuw]

what was the in the custom function that returns the last index of the list? can anybody helP>?

[mohammedamer]

I can't open the app from Safari on my iphone. I get the error 'problem repeatedly occured on "null" ', what does this mean?

[Pankomentator]

You started well FF, but honestly I'm starting to regret that I chose you 3 months ago:
1 Tutorials are superficial and do not explain the topic in depth, the result is that it is difficult to improve skills or find someone who really knows what and how.
2 The platform is not intuitive - gcfv, playing with lists - I often find a working option at random. I bet a lot of people do.
3. Today I noticed that the translations has been broken... great.
I won't go into detail, but it's hard to build a working MVP in FF. Especially if we think about a web application..

[francomuoio]

Merci FlutterFlow 🔥 J'ai fait un tuto en français sur ma chaîne :)

Please, a video on how to implement a video calling system similar to WhatsApp, there is no one anywhere and little information....
