Submission for Appwrite Hackathon on DEV (2022) - The Expenses App.

#appwritehack, #appwrite, #flutter

Overview of My Submission

I have built a mobile app to record expenses using Appwrite and Flutter. Appwrite's features used include Database, Auth & Users, Storage and Realtime.
Since this is my first time using Appwrite and it's been years since I last built an app with Flutter, the tutorial on LogRocket has been very helpful in getting me started.
