PS - Not given any Github repo since no one will be able to run the app because it is secured with SHA1 key and SHA256 key (both keys are used and one of them is mandatory to use in Firebase) which is unique for every system.
Inspiration
I love traveling and always looked at photos of different journeys, shared it on social media but couldn't reach the travel enthusiasts who would understand the pics. So, always wanted to make a specific app for travel lovers where they can just share and check traveling related photos.
What it does
Unlike most of the social media platforms where one can post any image, the app specifically focuses on the travel pics of a person. User can change their name and thus, it is impossible for anyone to look for the real person. It doesn't have any messaging feature which saves the users time and any unwanted questions. So, the user can post whatever they think without any second thought.
How I built it
I build it with love using Flutter, Firebase, and a lot of hard work!
Challenges I ran into
I ran into numerous challenges from uploading pics to handling timeline and making users followers and following. I had very less knowledge of Firebase, so, it was a challenge in itself to connect everything (posts, followers, following, likes, and comments for a post) for a single user.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I have worked day and night to make this app. I encountered various moments when things were not going as planned. I was almost about to give up but the never giving up attitude helped me in finally making this dream app of mine into reality which I am most proud of.
What I learned
I have learned various concepts of Flutter and especially of Firebase while making this app.
What's next for TravelGram
I'll try to add more features and will make it more user friendly for users who will use it. Apart from this maybe Travelgram will help me win this hackathon which will give me immense confidence and encouragement to build it to a new level 😆
