Shipped a production Flutter web + mobile app — Outlai, AI expense tracker. AMA on the build

Discussion

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.
