Workshop Details:

Welcome to Xmartchat, a dynamic messaging application developed with Flutter and powered by Supabase, designed specifically as a demonstration for our Supabase workshop. This app serves as an exemplar of the potential of serverless architecture, showcasing how serverless technologies, particularly Supabase, can revolutionize the way we build real-time communication applications.

Purpose

Xmartchat acts as a hands-on, interactive showcase during our workshop, highlighting the power and flexibility of serverless computing. Through this demo app, participants will:

• Learn Serverless Principles: Understand the fundamental concepts behind serverless architecture and its advantages in modern app development.
• Explore Supabase Features: Discover how Supabase simplifies database management, authentication, and real-time data synchronization.
• Experience Real-Time Communication: Interact with Xmartchat's real-time messaging capabilities to witness serverless technology in action.
• Inspire Innovation: Use Xmartchat as a foundation for experimenting with serverless concepts, encouraging innovative thinking and development.

Workshop requirements

To effectively engage with the Xmartchat demo app and our Supabase workshop, please ensure you have the following:

• Flutter Installation: Make sure you have Flutter installed on your system. If not, you can follow the official Flutter installation guide: Flutter Installation Guide
• Dart & Flutter Knowledge: Familiarity with Dart programming language and Flutter framework is essential. If you are new to Dart and Flutter, consider going through the official documentation and tutorials to strengthen your skills.
