Flutterflow celebrates its First Anniversary and closes in on 60,000+ builders.

This may be the first time you're reading about Flutterflow or maybe the first time you're seeing it on your screen. But just on the 30th of October Flutterflow celebrated its first anniversary.

The low-code online visual builder allows anyone to build applications very fast using the Flutter and Firebase Stack.

During a call with the Insiders, one of the co-founders - Abel Menigistu stated that 'This tool which started with 500 signups after the first announcement, is celebrating over 60,000 builders and counting". Not only that, they have successfully made collaborations and added new features that will improve development and encourage more people to join the low-code community.

First of all, Introduction

Flutterflow, just like Webflow, is a powerful and efficient web-based design tool that gives you the power to design, build and ship excellent applications. You can achieve this by writing little or no code, as the case may be.

Flutterflow is a visual editor for Flutter. Made with love from California and backed by Y-Combinator. Alex Greaves and Abel Mengistu, ex google teammates, are the co-founders of the company.

With amazing support from the Flutter community, the team are excited to keep building this tool and if you have any suggestions, don't fail to reach out.
