Flutter Buddies is a Discord community for developers who use the Flutter SDK by Google. We are a fun networking group creating open-source projects together, hosting online meetups, helping and motivating each other on their Flutter journey. Think of it like a study group on steroids for Flutter developers. We encourage getting to know and help everyone, no matter your background.
Here's a quick tour of what is available:
- 🔎 Channels dedicated to topics about Flutter and getting help with your code
- 🚀 Group projects to learn to work as a team
- 📅 Regular scheduled meetups to get together on voice chat to discuss a project, problems, suggestions, and more
- 📺 Scheduled live programming to work on projects and learn from others
- 💼 Get help finding a job or finding developers to hire
- 🥳 Live Flutter events and watch parties
Use our invite link and follow the instructions at #welcome to learn how to unlock all the server channels.
Worry not if you've never collaborated on a project before, we've got you covered. A lot of us came here as complete novices and are now regular contributors. We will help you learn anything you need along the way. You can find all of our projects here and discuss them at Discord.
So far we have already published some of our group projects. See their repository for more details.
