3 Screen Challenge
In mobile app development, it’s easy to fall into the trap of creating complex navigation flows with numerous screens. The “3 Screen Challenge” encourages developers to build a complete, functional Flutter app with just three screens, focusing on essential features and efficient user flows.
The Challenge
Create a fully functional Flutter application using exactly three screens. This challenge tests your ability to design efficient user experiences and organize functionality in a minimal interface structure.
Requirements
- Your app must have exactly 3 screens/pages
- Each screen must serve a distinct and necessary purpose
- Navigation between screens must be intuitive and purposeful
- The app must be complete and functional (not a prototype)
- You must handle all necessary state management within these three screens
- The app should follow Flutter’s material design guidelines
Scoring Criteria
Submissions will be evaluated based on:
- Screen Utilization: How effectively each screen is used to deliver functionality
- Navigation Flow: How intuitive and efficient the navigation between screens is
- User Experience: How well the app functions with the three-screen limitation
- Design Quality: Visual appeal and adherence to design principles
- Code Architecture: How well the code is organized and structured
Tips and Suggestions
- Use bottom sheets, dialogs, and modals to extend functionality without additional screens
- Consider implementing tabs or sectioned layouts within screens
- Focus on core features that provide the most value
- Use state management effectively to update content without screen changes
- Think about using nested navigation within a single screen
- Consider responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes
Resources
Remember, constraints breed creativity. The goal is to demonstrate that powerful and useful applications can be built with a minimal number of screens. Focus on making each screen as efficient and purposeful as possible. Good luck!
