The idea

People love to take and share pictures of their social life, specially in weddings. The idea of the app is to make it simpler for the guests to get all the pictures the other guests are taking. So no one needs to ask anybody to send the pictures over.

Tecnologies

Flutter

The app is being developed using Flutter framework, Flutter makes it Easier and quicker to develop cross-platform native apps.

Flutter Modular

This is my go to library for project structure and dependency injection. Flutter Modular gives us a structure that allows us to manage dependency injection and routes in just one file per module, so we can organize our files with that in mind.

MobX

for state management

API

For the database I decided to use GraphQL and Hasura; Hasura GraphQL Engine is an extremely lightweight, high performance product that gives me instant realtime GraphQL APIs on a Postgres database.

Authentication with Firebase

Hasura doesn’t have authentication implemented (yet) but it allow us to access the api using JWT. So I use Firebase for authentication. When the user is created I set a custom claim to the new user via Cloud Functions to set a signature that Hasura will understand.

Whe the user is logged in I get the token generated by firebase and send it with the requests to Hasura.

User journey

Hasura doesn’t have authentication implemented (yet) but it allow us to access the api using JWT. So I use Firebase for authentication. When the user is created I set a custom claim to the new user via Cloud Functions to set a signature that Hasura will understand.

Whe the user is logged in I get the token generated by firebase and send it with the requests to Hasura.

For the guests

The guest download the app and register to it. The app will ask the guest to provide a 6 number code for the wedding. On the home screen the user will be able to view all the pictures the other guests are posting and will be able to download them. They can also see the list of all guests.

For the brooms [todo]

The marrying people download the app, register and create the wedding. The app will generate a wedding passcode and attach it to the wedding ID.

The passcode will be needed for the guests to access the wedding. So the brooms need to provide the code to all guests. They can do it manually or by giving the app the email address of the guests, so the app send it to everybody.

For photographers

I have this idea that the booms could hire a junior photographer to be at the weeding using a high end smartphone and taking nice pictures of the wedding and the guests and publishing them to Wedday, so the guests could just enjoy the party and grab their pictures later from the app.
