BrewMaster - Coffee Shop Catalog App

When building this project, my goal was to practice mobile app development with Flutter. I designed it as a catalog app because listing coffee products and showing details effectively demonstrates core widget usage and UI modeling. The app includes features like a Splash Screen, real-time search, hero animations, and reading data from JSON.

Initially, setting up the basic Flutter UI components, ensuring responsive layouts, and implementing the favorite simulation (setState) were challenging. I had to iterate more than once to ensure GridView behaved correctly across different screens and that asynchronous JSON parsing worked without glitches. This process gave me solid experience in organizing a Flutter project and working with local assets.

Architecturally, I applied a simple MVC pattern:

• ▹ The models/ folder holds the data models.
• ▹ screens/ separates the UI pages.
• ▹ widgets/ contains reusable UI components.

This project helped me apply Flutter fundamentals effectively and develop fluid UI interactions.

Project Story and Challenges

The purpose of this project was to practice fundamental Flutter skills. Because I was relatively new to Flutter, making UI components interact correctly took time. Implementing asynchronous JSON parsing, managing state, and setting up a responsive grid layout required multiple iterations. Setting up hero animations for smooth page transitions required careful widget structuring. This process taught me architectural thinking, testing discipline, and real-world UI/UX application experience.
