Day 1 started us playing around with the concept of an eCommerce application. But wait, don’t we need a top-notch production-quality design, auth access, navigation support to move from one screen to another, and a slew of other resources to get an eCommerce app to fruition? Actually, one such app needs a lot more:
Problem statement: An eCommerce application must feature detailed products and support categories, offer seamless login options, present live info, and even have strategies to negate app crashes. And building an app of that stature requires time and money.
Solution: Saloni Saraiya , developer at DhiWise, used the in-house Flutter builder , Webflow APIs (a CMS with responsive design elements), and Firebase authentication for data and logins to build a production-quality grocery application.
Here is how she managed that:

Day 2 was all about the challenges enterprises face— data/ record handling being the biggest of them all. Yet, creating something that would manage every office data set doesn’t come easy. Here is why:
Problem statement: Any office-specific app you plan to build would need a collaborative design, proper REST internal APIs to pull data from diverse departments, and obviously some logic-led navigations. That would also need a lot of time, with manual coding, API integrations, and other needs involved.
Solution: Prem Danej , a developer at DhiWise, managed to work around the problem by using DhiWise’s Flutter builder . He worked alongside the Airtable APIs (platform for handling relational databases) and deployed the DhiWise-Figma relationship to build an office inventory app in virtually no time.
Here is how Prem went about this use case:

As an enterprise, how do you monitor services within the organization, especially when one service depends on the other. That is the point when you look for a one-stop app for monitoring notifications, downtime, and more. Yet, building the same is harder than ideating.
Problem statement: Multiple dependencies would require access to multiple internal APIs. Nesting would be required as one service might depend on two other completely different services. Coding for all of that sounds time intensive.
Solution: What if there was a web app that could use the React builder , Slack webhook APIs for notifications and intimations, and service status APIs and work holistically to offer all the relevant information? One such tool was developed by Ashutosh Dave — a developer at DhiWise.
Here is what the entire process looked like!

A day before, we took care of a web app focusing on service status checks. But that just didn’t feel enough. We had to do something for the mobile apps, and what could be better than to put the DhiWise Flutter builder to work?
Problem statement: With standard coding practices, it would take a lot of time to connect different services. Plus, sending notifications internally would require another set of implementations.
Solution: However, Ashutosh Dave — a developer at DhiWise— had other ideas. He managed to pair Sslack webhook APIs alongside the diverse service status APIs to create a one-stop status-checking app with ease.
Here is how the process worked with the Flutter builder !

Sharing tweets over WhatsApp was always frustrating. A Twitter user would know that you got to share one tweet at once— making the process painstakingly slow. But there is more to solving this issue than building a multi-tweet sharing app.
Problem statement: Any app you build would need an interactive UI/UX. Also, accessing Twitter using a standard application would again mean one-by-one tweet sharing. Creating a UI, finding the right APIs, coding, and more can be time intensive.
Solution: Rakesh Purohit — developer at DhiWise— made life easier for Twitter-WhatsApp users. He used the React Builder, Twitter’s tweet search APIs , and guideline -specific Figma-to-code strategies to build the right app in virtually no time.
Here is how Rakesh managed the nitty-gritty of this use case!
