Simple app to track you car fuel consumption.

fuel_consumption_tracker

Simple app to track average fuel consumption. Free, minimal, and open source. No bullshit features. Available on gPlay.

Main screen	New log/edit log	View logs	Settings

Ideas (a.k.a. todo)

• finnish translation
• prettify code
• export excel
  • save to gDrive
• history view should be chronological order (currently sorts by added)
• break history_list_view.dart to multiple files
• use Get theme changes instead of ThemeConsumer

TEST

• test what whappens if you don't log in order
• date format picker on smaller screens
• test on smaller screens
• test on tablets!

BUGS

• unit_tile doesn't rebuild when resetting everything
• consumption is sometimes negative when only one log, maybe prefs get messed up when editing logs?
• Minus consumption when you have 2 logs and delete logs (doesnt recalulcate if you later add new logs)

HIFI

• indigo to indigogradient?
• history screen transition
• titlebar bottom shadow
• change submit button text when editing log
• calendar view when tank'd

stuff

• prefs hive box
  • 'minOdo', 'maxOdo' are smallest and biggest odos recorded
  • 'imperialEnabled' is in prefs instead of settings, because it's more relevant there

things I've learned

• Using valuableListenableBuilder for everything is a mess (if the app grows), easier to just implement proper state management
• Hive is way easier and better than shared_preferences
• Always make helper class for shared_prefs etc. which automatically returns default values
• abstract class = can't make instance of that class
  • static method = called directly from class, not instance
• making quick n' dirty (frontend) prototype of the app really helps get the ball rolling
• popup menu (especially showMenu method) sucks and shouldn't be used
