## Project Overview Waygrid is a bit of a passion project of mine, originally started as a companion app to my travels, Waygrid quickly took on a life of it's own and expanded into an all-in-one (but still lightweight) travel app for planning trips. Made in **Flutter**, this is the first mobile app I've made with this google-curated tech, I have to say it's pretty easy to understand and performant - and the workflow has really allowed me to unleash my creativity whilst staying organised throughout. ## Features <ul class="cards"> <li class="card"> <div class="card-title">✈️ Trip manager</div> <div class="card-meta">Planning trips in a few swipes makes the platform super sleek.</div> </li> <li class="card"> <div class="card-title">📈 Budget Tracker</div> <div class="card-meta">Working out the complicated math of trips can suck, the Budget Tracker helps alleviate this.</div> </li> <li class="card"> <div class="card-title">📙 Packing Lists</div> <div class="card-meta">Never forget that much-needed raincoat again...</div> </li> </ul> ## Challenges & Solutions - New technology - Learning a new technology is always what you make it, despite never diving into app-development before; flutter made it easy and fun to create a solid workflow. - Saturated market - Trip apps have been done, but the bonus I had was building it for my specific purpose - solving *my* problems might just help someone else. - Discipline - Honestly, one of the biggest challenges for a hobby project is always finding the time to write some code, solve a problem or just get stuck in and **do something**. I dealt with that a lot building WayGrid, but perseverance brings results.
