Shipped a production Flutter web + mobile app — Outlai, AI expense tracker. AMA on the build
Hey r/Flutter — we just launched Outlai, built on Flutter for both web and mobile.
What it does: AI expense tracker where you type expenses in natural language and AI categorizes them.
Stack: Flutter (CanvasKit on web), Go/Fiber backend, PostgreSQL, Claude Haiku for categorization
Flutter wins:
- Single codebase across web + iOS + Android
- CanvasKit charts performance has been excellent
- Form handling for the AI Smart Add input was surprisingly clean
Flutter pain points we hit:
- CanvasKit bundle size on first load
- Accessibility/semantics for SEO took extra work
AMA on the Flutter side of the build — happy to share code structure, package choices, or deployment setup.
