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!
