Welcome Flutter 2.0 – Continuing Transition Beyond Mobile

Flutter 2.0 is here, folks, and we are excited to unveil what this updated open-source UI development kit has in store for us. The power of Flutter can be realized with the fact that over 150,000 Flutter applications have been launched on Google Play Store in just the past two years. The upgraded version highlights the flexibility and portability of Flutter as a complete UI toolkit and its potential to build beautiful apps for any platform of your choice – the mobile, web, desktop, and the emerging form factors such as foldable.

The framework that once started with support for just Android and iOS apps has now extended its support to web apps, MacOS, Windows, Linux, and embedded devices, unleashing your apps to run on a wide variety of different platforms. With the release, Flutter continued to progress in critical foundational areas such as performance enhancement, stability, support for the latest UI trends & widgets, and increasing accessibility.

Mobile engineers at TechAhead pay attention to some of the core enhancements of the framework highlighting its new potential in the mobile app development industry.

Flutter Web

The production-quality support for the web has been one of the major announcements in Flutter 2.0. Flutter’s web support has changed from beta to stable release focusing primarily on the performance and improvements in the rendering fidelity. The web platform has now evolved to encompass richer platform APIs that power sophisticated apps with 2D and 3D graphics and flexible layout.

Flutter for Desktop Moves Forward

Google introduced a whole bunch of changes in Flutter 2.0 as compared to Flutter 1.0, and one of the key changes include moving Flutter for Desktop’s status to Stable, which has been in the Alpha stage so far.

Flutter for Desktop also got proper support for keyboard shortcuts making it feel more like a native app on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Flutter for Mobile: Introduces Foldable Displays

One of the most interesting things about mobile development is that phones come in many different shapes and sizes. Youngsters are now bitten by one of the latest trends, which is – Foldable phones as it enhances productivity when you are working from your home office or when you are on the go. Foldable phones give you the power to run your apps on two screens and utilize various tool screen design patterns – Extended Canvas, List-Detail, Two Page, Dual View, and Companion Pane.

Flutter has already been feature-complete for mobile apps except for one thing – Foldables. But thanks to the contributions made by Microsoft, Flutter 2.0 is now capable of supporting foldable displays. The idea behind this was to help developers take advantage of foldable and dual-screen devices regardless of the platform or app that they are building on.

Flutter Web Features

Performance

Performance has been the most significant thing the Flutter developers have made a ton of progress in. Flutter for the web can display your application in a browser in two ways –

By rendering using HTML, CSS, and Canvas – makes it faster to download and load.

By rendering using CanvasKit – heavy but gives better performance when there’s a lot on screen.

Web-specific features & widgets

Flutter 2.0 has added support for several web-specific features and widgets such as web-app deep linking, custom URL strategies, proper PWA (progressive web app) support, hyperlink widgets, text auto-fill, etc., to help you use the best of the web.

Support for laptop/desktop form factors

To help users feel right about the Flutter web experiences irrespective of whether they are using a mobile phone or a laptop and regardless of what the shape and size of your browser window is. Flutter 2.0 came with an interactive scrollbar, keyboard shortcuts and increased the default content density in desktop modes.

In addition to this, Flutter 2.0 can also be easily embedded in TVs, cars, smart home appliances facilitating the most portable and pervasive experience for the modern world.

These were some of the big features which stole the limelight. Furthermore, the world’s leading automaker – Toyota, is also leveraging Flutter to bring a best-in-market digital experience to vehicles by developing infotainment systems powered by the framework. Toyota has opted for Flutter due to its high performance, fast iteration, and smartphone-tier touch mechanics. Having said that, Google wants to continue its work with industry leaders to bring Flutter to vehicles, TVs, and other embedded devices.

With popular global brands leveraging the power of Flutter to drive their businesses, such as WeChat, Grab, Yandex Go, among others, it is certain that with the arrival of Flutter 2.0, it will become one of the most preferred app development frameworks among the businesses all across the globe.

How can TechAhead skyrocket your business growth with Flutter 2.0?

TechAhead, a leading flutter app development company, and Google’s certified development partner has successfully delivered 30+ flutter apps to its prestigious clientele, including global brands and innovative startups since the framework launched in 2017. With a dedicated team of 20+ in-house flutter developers and 11+ years of experience in developing robust, future-driven mobile apps, we transform your business idea into a future-proof mobile app in no time. Extract the most out of Flutter capabilities with TechAhead’s high-end Flutter app development solutions.

How technology can limit the spread of COVID-19

As the world is struggling to cope with COVID -19, governments worldwide are working on lockdowns to reduce and eventually eliminate the virus naturally. Interestingly, governments are now turning to technology more than ever, to find plausible solutions that can help limit the spread of COVID-19. The results, moreover, have been favoring, to say the very least. Several available and emerging technologies have made it possible to innovate and limit the spread of COVID-19.

We looked at various technology solutions from all over the world that are being used to control the outbreak – from deliveries to tracking, to remote working, to education, etc. According to WEF, 191 countries announced or implemented school or university closures as of mid-April, thereby impacting 1.57 billion students leading to universities and schools moving their courses and classes online with the use of technology. Technological solutions are proving to be critical in the way governments are handling the pandemic and thus it is important to understand the various solutions that are being implemented, and how.

Contact Tracing: Part of the multi-pronged approach to fight the COVID-19

Countries around the world are working on and rolling out contact tracing apps and techniques to limit the spread of the Coronavirus. The idea is to digitally identify people who potentially may be exposed to Coronavirus and thereby need to self-isolate. The Australian government was one of the first to launch such an app, named COVIDsafe. Similarly, The Singapore government launched the TraceTogether app in march, 2020. The app uses Bluetooth to trace interactions between users of the app. The data is stored on the individual’s phone, and in case of a positive corona patient, the respective authorities allow the data to alert all those who possibly have been exposed to the positive patient.

Contact tracing and/or location tracking has in particular been essential since it allows the authorities to know the whereabouts of a positive case and how many people have been close to that person.

Robots: Helping Medical staff stay safe

Since the breakout of the pandemic, a lot of companies are focusing on contact-less solutions, thereby bringing robots into the picture. The usage of these robots ranges from deliveries to interaction via screens. Doctors in USA are using a device called Vici, that is a telehealth device. The device allows the doctors to interact with the patients, via a screen. The screen is a tablet-sized and is fixed on wheels and can be used by doctors to speak to patients and perform basic diagnostic functions.

In Singapore, robots are delivering meals and medications. One of the isolation wards in China’s Wuhan was entirely manned by robots. Robots were responsible for taking temperatures, delivering food and medications. According to Reuters, a small robot called Little Peanut was delivering food to passengers on a flight from Singapore to Hangzhou, China who were being held under quarantine in a hotel.

Self-driven cars for deliveries and data collection

American self-driving car companies are taking their cars to the street to collect data and assist with contact-free grocery and medication deliveries without any human contact. They are also being used to clean and disinfect roads. It is also helping self-driving car companies to test actual performance and gather relevant data.

Blockchain: Coming to the rescue of banks

Blockchain in banking has been talked about for a while now; however, it is now being used more to avoid the risk of infection spread. Italy’s 32 banks had a full production of the largest deployments of blockchain. The application was built by Associazione Bancaria Italiana (ABI), the Italian Banking Association with an aim to promptly and proficiently reconcile differences in the separate ledgers for so-called Nostro and Vostro accounts that Italian banks hold for each other. Blockchain is providing simple solutions to digitize banking, thereby reducing contact.

Smart Imaging

Many countries have installed AI-powered thermal cameras, that have the ability to identify people’s temperatures in a crowd for a fever. This temperature detection enables a contactless yet rapid solution. We can also use facial-recognition technology to be able to identify all those without a mask.

Health apps/Tracking via QR codes

Governments around the world have developed a health rating system based on color-coding to be able to track everyone daily. The app assigns the following colors- green, red, or yellow and these are assigned basis travel and medical history of a person.

These color codes are accessible via an app and help in deciding whether a person should be quarantined or if he/she is allowed to be out in public spaces. To make this more effective, the authorities have installed various checkpoints at almost all public spaces, to be able to verify the color.

Chatbots

Health Companies and hospitals are providing chatbots that interact with the patients inside the hospital. The chatbots are rolled out particularly for emergency rooms, that enable patients to enroll in ER and thereby have constant updates about their care via the chatbot. The chatbot sends all kinds of updates, such as arrival time of doctor, test, or a lab result, etc. This provides an ease to both the hospital staff and the patients, as it ensures timely updates.

Drones

Another very interesting technology that has come into the public eye is drones. While drones have been gaining popularity for quite some time now, their usage has increased during the pandemic, especially in severely affected areas. Drones have been used around the world, in multiple countries to enable deliveries of medical equipment, drugs, food, etc. This eliminates any human contact, thereby containing the infection in that limited area and not spreading it. Drones have also been used in agriculture, to be spray disinfectants, etc on crops.

Guide to User Preference between Mobile Website and Mobile Application

Mobile traffic is globally surpassing the desktop-based traffic to the web in the world. It's no longer a case of asking whether mobile marketing is important, we know it is!

So when it comes to planning for a broad marketing outreach via mobile presence for your business or organization one of the considerations that will strike your mind is whether you want to develop a mobile website or create a mobile application for users to download or perhaps you want to go for both.

Mobile websites and mobile applications can look quite similar at first glimpse. Though deciding which would be more suitable for your business or organization is an important part of the decision and the conclusion which would be suitable depends upon a number of factors, including target audiences, available budget, required features, and intended purpose.

Mobile website and mobile application both are accessed on handheld devices like iPhones, tablets, iPads, Android phones, etc. So before evaluating which one would be better let’s get deeper into the understanding of the difference between a Mobile Website and a Mobile Application.

Mobile Website

A mobile website is similar to any website which is a browser-based HTML page that are linked together to be accessed over the internet. Like any website, mobile websites can display text content, data, images, and video. A mobile website generally accesses mobile-specific features such as click-to-call (to dial a phone number) or location-based mapping.

Mobile Application

Mobile apps are actual applications that are downloaded and installed by users on their mobile devices. A user needs to visit operating system-specific portals or stores such as Apple’s app store, Google Play Store etc. in order to download the application. The App may fetch the content form the internet as a website does, or it may even download the content so it can be available for accessing even when the internet connection is not available.

The Difference Chart between Mobile Website and Mobile Application is as follows:

Advantages of a Mobile Website over Mobile Application If the goals of your organization or business are primarily related to public communication or marketing to acquire clients then a mobile website is possibly the best practical step that would make sense for your mobile outreach strategy. This decision can be explained with a straightforward reason a mobile website has a number of advantages like its being broadly accessible and compatible on all devices and is even cost-effective.

Instant Availability -- A mobile website is instantly available for access to the users across all ranges of devices via browsers. On the other hand, apps are required to be downloaded and installed from the app marketplace before the content or application can be engaged which can be a significant barrier between initial action or conversion.

Compatibility -- A mobile website has a reach across users carrying different types of mobile devices, whereas apps require a separate version to be developed for each type of device. Mobile website URLs are easily integrated within other mobile technologies such as SMS, QR Codes, and NFC (near field communication).

Upgradability -- A mobile website is actually more dynamic than an app in terms of pure flexibility to update content. If you want to change the design or content of an app u need to push updates to your users to download it in order to update their app whereas in the case of a mobile website you simply need to publish the updated version and the changes are immediately visible over the browser.

Findability -- Mobile websites being mobile accessible versions of desktop websites have the same features as normal websites and so mobile websites pages can easily be found in search results. Most importantly, visitors to the regular website can be automatically sent to your mobile site when they are on a handheld (using device detection). In contrast, the visibility of apps is largely restricted to manufacturer app stores.

Shareability -- Mobile websites URLs are easily rotated to users via links on message, e-mail, social media, blog, or even in print. An app can’t be made to reach to users in a similar and such an easier fashion.

Reach -- A mobile website accessibility across all platforms makes it easier to be shared among users as well as search engines.

Time and Cost -- Development of a mobile website is considerably more time and cost-effective than the development of a mobile app, especially if you need to have a presence on different platforms whereas in the case of apps it requires the development of multiple apps.

Support and Sustainability -- The investment strategy in the case of application and mobile website vary a lot because an app needs a lot of investment consideration as compared to the mobile website. The application needs an initial launch along with proper support, development proper upgrades, testing, compatibility etc.

When Does an App Make Sense for reaching mobile users across mobile? Despite the many natural benefits of the mobile website, Mobile apps are still very popular, and there are a number of specific use scenarios where an app will be your best choice. Here are a few things if you need one of the following, an application for your business or organization does make sense:

Interactivity/Gaming -- If it’s an interactive game an app is almost always going to be users' best choice.

Regular Usage/Personalization -- If you are planning to target users so that they may download and use your application in a personalized way on a regular basis then a mobile application would serve to solve your purpose better than a mobile website. If the users you are targeting are going to use your application in a personalized way on regular basis then a mobile app is possibly the best way to approach it.

Complex Calculations/Reporting -- If your need is complex calculation or manipulation of data related to finance or investment etc. then an app will let you accomplish your task effectively.

Native Functionality/Processing required -- Mobile web browsers are getting increasingly good at accessing certain mobile-specific functions such as click-to-call, SMS, and GPS. However, if you need to access a user's camera or processing power an app will still do that much more effectively.

Offline Usage Required -- If you feel that the content needs to be accessed offline or may even perform various functionalities without the internet then a mobile app would serve your needs. A survey by ComScore Stating Overwhelming Response for Mobile Application vs Mobile Website  

In Conclusion

The “App vs Web” will remain a question of contemplation for organizations seeking to establish their mobile presence. If your organization’s goal is to deliver content that can be shared between users and can be easily found on search engines to have a broad mobile presence and is primarily marketing-driven then a mobile website is the most reasonable choice. On the other hand, if your goal is to create active engagement with users and to provide an application that works like a computer program and not just a mobile compatible website then a Mobile Application will be required to fulfill your requirements.

Stock Trading App Development: Ready Yourself for the Next Wave of Madness

The stock trading market has been affected by the technological revolution, much like every other industry, in the past few years. The use of e-trade applications is commonplace, with many mobiles and web-based technologies being used in regular practice by brokers and investors. There are a variety of applications being developed and used by entrepreneurs and brokerage companies to automate their trading machinery and make the process easier.

Top mobile app development companies such as TechAhead, have taken the plunge for Stock Trading App Development to allow smart entrepreneurs to operate on a trading platform that can be controlled and maneuvered as per their needs. But why digitize trading, and why now?

Why Digitize Trading & Why Now?

DIY investing platforms like Robinhood have seen a clear rise in demand in the past year alone. Other stock trading applications such as eToro, StockTwits, and NetDania are increasingly being used to obtain the best results and tracking information. However, not all existing apps can have the exact trading solutions needed for specific industries and investors. This creates a huge demand for novel stock trading app development, which is likely to be the next big thing soon!

The peaking app development interests can also be seen with the increase in the use of hybrid apps that offer more trading options and sophisticated features than the existing ones. Currently, over 80% of the stock market operations are automated, creating a user-base for stock trading apps from different age groups. Busy investors are on board to pay significant amounts to use stock trading apps for various benefits, thus, a mutual monetary benefit is also in store. Stock Trading App Development is, thus, likely to bring a new wave of madness, and now is the time to ride this wave before it gets over-surfed!

Trading Apps Market Overview

Since the rise of the Robinhood app in 2017, the user-base for stock trading apps has been growing by 4 million users every year. Unlike the yester-generation of investors, millennials are more open to the optimum use of technology in stock trading if they are educated on the same. With the help of easy-to-use mobile applications, different aspects of the stock market such as day trading, long-term investments, investments by professionals, etc., can be catered to on a case-specific basis.

Why invest in Stock Trading App Development?

So, why should you invest in stock trading, and how exactly do such applications make money? Over 14.1 million users in the USA rely on online methods for stock trading, with the numbers constantly rising. Amongst these, there are many users that do not find a match of their required trading services as per interest or the solution they need. Finding the right solution for this potential customer base, thus, holds huge potential. Stock Trading App Development companies are consistently working to find solutions for this existing customer base. Your investment can provide this solution to resolve the following areas of common concern for a multitude of stock investors:

Mitigating Risk

The stock market functions prominently on advice and information suggested by brokerage companies to the investors. While some of these are highly relied upon, not all are as reliable as they seem. Users are moving towards rather relying on applications that offer a completely authentic and straightforward insight, thus, creating a huge potential and demand for stock trading app development.

Increase in Investors

With the current generation looking into more avenues to generate a passive income and startups on the rise in the market, there is an obvious increase in the number of investors who are now involved in stock trading. There are novice-level investors, professionals, or even part-time traders who have very specific interests, and there is a scope of niche application development to fulfill these requirements and solutions for a variety of stock traders.

Security and Performance

Having to invest your time in anything constantly is no longer desired by anyone. People much rather set-up their trading machinery and take a more automated approach to stock trading. Performance in the stock market has been a huge concern due to inadequate services of financial advisors and consequent unsatisfactory results. When taking advice, traders often end up sharing a lot of confidential and sensitive information that they would much rather have kept protected. This concern is largely eliminated with the development of stock trading applications that offer robust security and optimized performance at various user-levels.

Real-time alerts

Another major drawback of the trading domain is the lack of prompt updates on real-time changes in the market. These can be instrumental in accumulating great profits, or on the downside, leading to significant losses. Emerging trading apps have helped resolve this major concern with push notifications and alerts that can offer real-time updates on the rising and falling values of stocks to help people decide on their investments better.

Investment for Stock Trading App Development & What you can earn?

Arriving at the next pressing question - How much does it cost to develop a Stock Trading Application, and how exactly can you earn through it?

Well, there is no specific cost that can be estimated for the development of your application. It would really depend on what requirements you plan to meet, the basic functionality of the app, and the time period in which you plan to achieve all this.

Talking about the prospects to earn through your stock-based application, there are some straightforward avenues. The simplest way of earning through your application involves making premium accounts available to access trading features. You can also offer independent trading options at a certain fee or offer a combination of basic free services and additional commission-based ones that the user will gladly invest in. Some other novel avenues of earning through your app include offering cryptocurrencies and facilitating marginal trading. You can even earn interest from the user’s stocks and, cash similar to banking platforms.

Why Partner with TechAhead?

The Stock App market is awaiting a boom in the near future. The industry is expected to go completely digital, with over eighty percent of users already relying on technology for stock trading. With many more interests and user-cases to fulfill the app development market is need of investors can develop solutions to offer various trading options.

TechAhead, with its expertise in fintech application development, is looking to collaborate with novel ideas and investors looking to develop prospective trading solutions for their businesses.

Hotel digital transformation can help overcome the impact of COVID-19

Digital transformation is one of the most reliable ways to enhance customer experience and drive industry growth. And a service industry like hospitality needs to focus on ways to attract and retain more customers with their improved solutions.

COVID-19 has turned many industries upside down, and one of the most affected hospitality business. While many independent hotels got shut down, on the other hand, hotel chains suspended the inauguration of their upcoming hotel projects. But now, the world has started breathing with the current pandemic.

Travel is resuming, and the hotel industry is innovating to overcome losses. When the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) introduced the Stay safe guidelines, they suggested reducing direct contact with the use of new technologies.

Digital technology has played a prominent role for the benefit of hotels in past years, and the hotel industry has evolved evidently to offer unique experiences to its customers. While many hotels are leveraging digital transformation technology to welcome guests, several hotel chains are still in the early stage of adopting and implementing technology.

So let’s go ahead and see how hotel chains can implement digital transformation in the booking process, loyalty program management, room service, etc to help hotels innovate and reduce physical touchpoints with their guests without compromising on user experience.

Internet of Things (IoT)

The installed base of the current Internet of Things connected devices is forecast to reach 21.5 billion units by 2025. Hotels can adopt IoT in many ways:

Self Check-in: Letting customers self-check-in adds value to a great first impression. It reduces wait time and gives control to the customer. With the use of a mobile app, customers can have immediate access to the guest room. Mobile can also enable guests to have access to any vital information and allow them to request and update their requirements.

Digital key card: Keyless Entry Systems can facilitate a seamless stay experience. Offering guests an electronic key card on mobile devices is one of the smartest ways of saving time and money and ensuring security. It also helps the hotel to collect data on room preferences and enhance the guest experience in the future.

Smart and personalized rooms: IoT enables the guests to manage room amenities on their mobile apps. Lighting preferences, thermostat settings, media sets, or even integrating voice recognition, everything can provide, strong control to guests. A mobile can act like a remote to also manage window shades, and the lock system offering home-like comfort and experience.

AR/VR

When mobile apps like Pokemon Go went viral, every industry tried leveraging the potential possibilities to step up customer engagement through AR and VR. A few years ago, Marriot enabled it’s guests to travel far from their hotel rooms using Marriott VR Postcards. You too can make travel more seamless for your guests.

Virtual Reality: It is the best discovery that allows guests to take a tour of the property without leaving their house. Brochures are now outdated. No traveler is up for carrying papers with them. Therefore, sharing a complete tour of hotel rooms and hotel services like spas and shopping arcade will build trust and comfort for travelers.

Augmented Reality: AR can further make guests experience things and places alive. With the use of a smartphone, a user can know his exact location, explore historical places, nearby restaurants, view hotel services, and so many things that are far beyond our imaginations. With the adoption of AR and VR, Airbnb recently took their customer experience to a whole new different level. Hotels can also advance it’s AR features by introducing an interactive map that provides guests with more useful information.

Mobile apps

Mobile is the most convenient way to communicate seamlessly with your guests. It offers a wide range of possibilities to improve the customer experience.

Booking: It is the quickest way for travelers to book hotels with a mobile app with just a tap.

Communication: With the use of a mobile app, guests can easily communicate with the staff. Moreover, the staff can respond to the guest’s requests and update them on any required information. Apps can also help to send in-app notifications and encourage guests to use hotel services.

Customer loyalty program: Mobile apps are an excellent way to reward guests for every service they use. It keeps them engaged and helps to boost a long term relationship.

Staff productivity: Hotel staff can get more organized by managing their tasks through a mobile app. Managers can stay informed about the staff capacity and their day’s job so they can smartly manage their responsibilities and advance productivity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

For the service industry, Artificial Intelligence (AI) development is perhaps one of the best ways to improve the customer experience.

Chatbots: Chatbots development, powered by AI, can respond to guest’s questions, saving up the staff’s time. Not just this. Hotel chatbots analyze the data received from different sources like guests’ shopping history, spa or salon usage, saved payment methods, food choices, and other actions taken by guests while interacting with a hotel app. And this data can further offer a personalized experience. From a simple task of booking to acting as a ‘digital concierge’ to guests while they are at the hotel, chatbots can make guests way too comfortable and satisfied.

Data and Analytics

Data: With digital transformations like IoT integrations, mobile applications, there is a constant flow of data. Data is crucial in the hotel business to retain guests. Many hotels collect and use customer data to determine their preferences, what they like, and what they don’t. The process of data collection can benefit hotels to come up with new features or ideas to attract more and more guests based on their behavior.

Analytics: Through analytics of the data, hotels can identify key factors that help in providing a high-quality customer experience. Analytics can also help identify the guests who are likely to return frequently and guests who are likely to spend more on upgrades and purchasing other amenities from the hotel. The hotel will be able to make smart decisions focussing and improvising their primary areas of business and continue to offer high value to its guests.

Final Words

Digital transformation is already here, and many hotels in the industry are now adopting it to upgrade their services. In the coming years, hotels that don’t adopt technology in their business might go outdated. Summarising the above points let us highlight some of the biggest advantages to hotels with the use of digital transformation.

Reduce wait time

Saves time and money

Make communication smoother and improve relationship building

Hotels get to know their customers

Improvement in business performance

A high rate of repeat customers

So, it’s time for you to make your hotel smart and lift your business post-COVID 19.
