Technical Advice Needed :: Flutter
so long story short, i'd like to create a quiz app using flutter. i'm struggling to put together a few technical specs, more specifically relating to backend services, best practices etc.
let's say the quiz app would consist of about ten subjects, each having about five hundred questions. i would need a service that stores the usual string, int, images, video.
i'd like to inevitably publish the app, so i'm looking to make it as sophisticated and cost effective as possible! i've been advised to use firebase/firestore and hive to access the data locally to avoid high read/write costs, but im still open to other suggestions.
i'm totally new to this and still trying to wrap my head around it. would greatly appreciate your help :)
Hi There,
There are a LOT of options open to you - starting from the super-easy (yet can be costly) NO-Code options (e.g. https://sheetsu.com/) and ranging all the way to custom backend services (With many options in between, e.g https://airtable.com/api).
I'd start with a no-code option to validate your idea and then if you're lucky, and you get a lot of traction, have a backup plan for scaling - the good news is the backend you want is VERY easy to build for an accomplished backend developer.
Cheers,
Jonathan

You want a backend system for your application right?
yes, exactly. any suggestions? as mentioned in my post, i've been suggested firebase as the backend and hive to access data locally and offline
