Flutter Berlin – Winter Wonderland

About this Event

Hosted with warmth (and some snacks) at the **Enpal office** As the days get colder and lights get brighter, we're gathering our Flutter community for a cozy evening full of learning, inspiration, and winter cheer. Whether you're a seasoned Flutter developer or just curious about beautiful cross-platform apps — you're warmly invited to join us! **Schedule** **18:00 — Doors Open & Winter Welcome** Check in, grab a drink, and get into the festive spirit. **18:30 — Opening Remarks** A greeting from **Flutter Berlin** & **Enpal**, as we kick off the evening. **Talk 1 — The Power of Design Systems - From Figma to Flutter — Micheal Schwab** Design systems are a crucial part of the app development process, enabling teams to create well-structured, consistent, and maintainable applications. In this talk, we will define what a design system is and explore what it can do for you. We'll discuss common pitfalls and what to look out for while creating your own, before diving into a practical example of how to implement a consistent design system within a reusable component library for your Flutter application. Finally, we'll cover tooling and best practices to keep everything in sync and consistent. **Talk 2 — Building Translamore: Lessons Learned from a Side Project** **-** **Łukasz Wiśniewski** Mildly annoyed by the big green owl's limitations, I decided to build Translamore - an app that lets you turn whatever you're reading into your own language exercises. What started as a small "weekend project" quickly turned into a full-blown side quest. I'll kick things off with a quick demo of Translamore and then share some of the lessons from building it in my spare time: \- Project Management: staying organized when no one's watching\, figuring out what's worth your time\, keeping motivation alive\, and the few tools that saved my sanity \- LLMs & Prompt Engineering: what actually worked for me\, using unit tests to wrangle prompts\, a bit of templating magic\, and my “Prompt Resolver” contraption \- Server\-Side Dart: why you really shouldn't ship your LLM API keys\, how I structured packages and dependencies\, used sealed classes for the API\, and yes \- called Python from Dart in the least elegant way possible Expect some lessons, a few confessions, and probably one or two "don't do what I did" moments. **20:00 — Networking** Meet fellow Flutter devs, exchange ideas, collaborate, or simply chat over snacks. Feel free to bring your winter sweaters ✨ **22:00 — Doors Close** We say goodbye and step back into the crisp winter night ❄️
