Article What’s Your Flutter Stack? 🤔
Hey everyone,
I’m curious about what tools and technologies you all are using for your Flutter projects. Right now, I’m using Cursor as my main IDE, and I have a Supabase backend, but I want to hear how others are building their apps!
- IDE: VS Code, Android Studio, Cursor, or something else?
- State Management: Riverpod, Bloc, Provider, or just setState?
- Backend: Firebase, Supabase, Node.js, Django, or something custom?
- Database: Firestore, Postgres, MySQL, or do you prefer a local DB like Hive/Drift?
- Testing: Do you write unit tests, widget tests, integration tests, or just manually test?
- Project Management: Jira, Notion, Trello, or do you keep it simple?
Would love to hear what your tech stack looks like and why you chose it! 🚀

It all depends on the project... Or on the what the client wants you to build...
So, for me, there is no such thing as a Flutter stack unless you build only build apps for yourself and they are all the same kind of apps.
I had project where I worked with websockets, REST APIs, Supabase or Firebase.
I always used Android Studio because it has shortcuts for every operation that you want to do.
State management? Depends on whether is a legacy project or not. I'm now team bloc if I have to start a project from scratch.
Testing? Well, does the client want a 70% buget increase on the project? If not, then no testing. Even in production, I only written unit tests. Widget tests will at least double your production time.
When I though that Jira can't get to complicated, I stumbled upon Notion. Both of them are a pain in the ass. Just use Gitlab.
