Homi

Homi is more than just a cross-platform mobile app; it's a digital haven for loving families aiming to fortify their bonds effortlessly. Serving as a hub for seamless family synchronization, Homi boasts an array of features. Users can create and manage multiple family profiles, each equipped with a shared calendar for coordinated events, Google Calendar integration, to-do lists, shopping lists, and an announcement board for sharing exciting news with multimedia elements.

Technologies Used

Harnessing the power of Dart and the Flutter framework, Homi showcases an elegant blend of technology. Leveraging the innovative FlutterFlow tool for development, the project embraced the Agile framework for efficient management. Project coordination and version control were streamlined through Trello and GitHub.

Role

In the dynamic landscape of our small, agile Homi team, my responsibilities spanned across UI/UX design, backend development, meticulous documentation, comprehensive testing, and impactful presentations. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of Homi, ensuring a cohesive and engaging brand presence.

Challenges Faced

Working within a small, agile team brought both challenges and excitement. Time constraints, inherent in scrum sprints, pushed us to deliver high-quality work efficiently. Learning Flutter from scratch at the project's inception posed a learning curve, but the team's dedication turned it into an advantage. Embracing the innovative FlutterFlow framework, though initially risky, proved to be a strategic decision, which paved the way for a successful project.

As of December 2023, Homi is nearing completion and will soon be available on both the App Store and Google Play.

Every challenge became an opportunity, and the shared enthusiasm for Homi's success made the journey truly memorable. I'm proud of what we've accomplished and excited to share this digital haven with families everywhere.
