Flutter Forward, the one-day event dedicated to Google's open-source mobile app development framework featured some exciting highlights, most notably, honourable mentions of the L+R-developed apps Alexander and Global Citizen.

The keynote speech by Tim Sneath, Flutter's Product Manager at Google, discussed the future of Flutter and its increasing popularity in the development community. Sneath talked about the release of Flutter 3.0, which includes new features such as support for foldable devices and a revamped hot-reload feature. He also emphasised the importance of Flutter's growing community and how it is driving the platform's development.

The internationally recognised Global Citizen app, developed by the team at L+R, was featured during the event, highlighting impactful apps using the Flutter framework. Global Citizen is an innovative platform that empowers users to take action on critical issues, from climate change to poverty, and engage with a worldwide community of change-makers. The app's inclusion in the Flutter Forward keynote is a testament to its cutting-edge technology, user-friendly design, and positive global impact. The Global Citizen app exemplifies how technology can be leveraged to make a positive difference. Its recognition in the Flutter Forward keynote is a significant milestone for the platform and its development team.

"As a Flutter engineer working on the Global Citizen mobile app, I've witnessed first hand the power of this technology in creating a seamless and impactful user experience. With Flutter's fast development cycles and flexible UI capabilities, we were able to bring Global Citizen's mission to life and inspire positive change on a global scale". Pedro Manfredi, engineer at L+R
