Testing Niches for Mobile Applications Using FlutterFlow

June 14, 2024

As discussed earlier in this article, before developing a product, it's essential to test your niches. For mobile applications, we've found that the tool FlutterFlow works exceptionally well.

Why FlutterFlow?

You might ask, why use FlutterFlow? It's quite simple. Our primary app development platform is Flutter, so getting accustomed to FlutterFlow was a breeze. Additionally, FlutterFlow allows you to export your project into native code, which is incredibly convenient for putting niche tests on a production line.

Getting Started

  1. Register and Create a New Project
    Begin by registering on FlutterFlow and creating a new, empty project.

  1. Set Up the Onboarding Page
    Use a template to create an Onboarding page and adapt it to your niche.

  1. Create a Paywall Page
    On a new page, set up a paywall similar to those of your competitors. Create a transition from the onboarding page to the paywall page.

The Interesting Part

  1. Create a Thank You Page
    This is where it gets interesting. Create a Thank You page that users will be directed to upon attempting to make a purchase. Since the actual product isn't developed yet, there's nothing to sell. However, simulating a sale can help you gauge the project's potential before investing significant time in development. We discussed this approach in detail here.
    This Thank You page is the final step in our flow. Its primary purpose is to track when users land on this page and send this data to Facebook. To do this, integrate a Facebook Pixel.
    Technically, you'll create an action that triggers when users land on this page. For writing custom actions, FlutterFlow has an internal AI that handles these tasks effectively.

Publishing Your Project

  1. Simple Option: Publish on a FlutterFlow Subdomain
    The easiest way to publish your project is by using a FlutterFlow subdomain. This requires minimal setup: go to settings, enable web, and hit publish.

  1. More Professional Option: Custom Domain
    For a more professional appearance, connect a custom domain through the project settings. This makes your advertising link more presentable.

  1. Cost-Effective Professional Option
    Export the project, compile it yourself, and upload it to GitHub Pages. Then, connect a custom domain to GitHub Pages.

By following these steps, you can efficiently test your mobile app niches using FlutterFlow, ensuring you invest in the right areas before fully developing your product.
