Launch Day 3 - Private Community

We’ve been considering opening up a community for the Flutter course since the beginning. However, having hosted a community before, we remember it quickly becoming a general Flutter support group. There’s nothing wrong with that, but doing support for Flutter bugs just wasn’t fun for us.

This is where the hesitation came from.

But honestly, that’s a very solvable problem.

We have to set the expectations up front that the scope of the Discord Community is limited to the content covered in the course. (We will be happy to help and even jump into a call about anything early on, but I want to set expectations as the membership grows. And then we can exceed them from time to time.)

So now your purchase comes with access to a Discord Community.

Our Core Value

The Northstar for the Best Flutter Course is to guide you through an experience that teaches you how to build production-ready apps with confidence.

That is the outcome we aim for: to help people build production-ready apps with confidence.

With this community, we can expand on that value. Building applications with others makes you much more likely to build production-ready apps confidently. Connecting with people can greatly boost your chances of creating good products.

Hungrimind would not be where it is today if we worked on it ourselves.

A community can help with:

• Getting past hurdles
• Pointing you in the right direction
• Maybe even finding a cofounder

What better place to find someone to build Flutter apps than a group of people learning how to make production-ready apps?

Feedback

The feedback button might seem like such a small part of the course, but it might be our most underrated feature. If there is anything, and we really mean anything that could be better or improved, we want to know about it. We built this course to be constantly improved.

The intention of the original version of the feedback was to keep the entire experience in the browser. It was a good goal, and we hope to return to it someday, but we don’t think we should spend time building out a polished in-browser experience when Discord exists and does this well.

Because of this, the previous feedback had some major downsides.

• We can’t have a back-and-forth with the person who submitted the feedback, so we couldn’t get any clarification or ask any questions.
• There wasn’t a way to submit images or videos
• There was no history (like a forum)

We decided to use a different service like Discord to collect feedback. And if we collect feedback there, we might as well create a community of builders.

That’s just what we did. Now, everybody who has purchased or will purchase the Best Flutter Course can see a button in their dashboard to join the Discord community.
