Devlog #10 ->
Part 1 of 5
Please don’t hurt me, but I have to post multiple devlogs because I worked on so many things in all this time. It’s a lot of stuff to talk about and I don’t want to write it all into one because it will be super unorganized and hard for me to find in the future. In this first devlog, I am going to talk about how I got bookmarks to work.
The idea came from thinking ahead to the match notifier. If someone wants alerts for a match, they need a way to say “these are the teams I care about” without having to retype a team number every single time. So I added a bookmark system using shared_preferences (just storing a list of team numbers locally on the device/browser). You can now star a team from a few places in the app and it’ll save to your bookmarks list, which I’m planning to hook the notifier into so it can just loop through
your saved teams instead of asking you every time.
This one was honestly pretty painless compared to my usual chaos. The only annoying part was making sure the bookmarked list actually persisted correctly on web (learned my lesson from the MongoDB flutter-web thing, so I tested this one on both platforms before moving
on lol). Turns out shared_preferences just works with local storage under the hood on web, so no weird surprises this time.
Short devlog, I know, but wait till you see what devlog #11 turned into.
