Wibulu - Mobile Application for Article Reading
“Involve me and I learn.”
Wibulu is a mobile application developed to enhance the experience of reading and interacting with articles. The app was built using FlutterFlow, allowing for rapid development and deployment, with Firebase as the back-end solution for real-time data management.
Features
- Article Reading: Provides a clean and engaging interface for reading articles.
- Real-Time Data Management: Utilizes Firebase to manage articles, user preferences, and interactions in real time.
- Custom Functionalities: I extended the capabilities of FlutterFlow beyond its default functionalities, integrating advanced features to meet user requirements.

Technologies Used
- FlutterFlow: Low-code platform for rapid mobile app development.
- Firebase: Real-time database management, user authentication, and cloud storage.
- Custom Flutter Code: Extended FlutterFlow functionalities for more advanced features.
Challenges Overcome
- Customizing FlutterFlow: One of the biggest challenges was pushing the limits of FlutterFlow. I had to dive deep into Flutter’s code to integrate some features not natively supported by the platform.
- Real-Time Data Management: Handling real-time interactions, especially when syncing user actions across multiple devices, required optimizing Firebase usage for scalability and performance.
Outcome
- User Engagement: Increased user interaction and retention through real-time notifications and personalized reading lists.
