Reportedly, the Flutter team has associated with the Google News Initiative on a “toolkit.” This is intended to help news outlets instantly create their own dedicated mobile apps.
Subsequently, Google has stepped forward to uplift the growth and diversification of journalism through the Google News Initiative. With this program, Google associates directly with media outlets, at the same time provides general guidelines that help in publications built of a consistent standard.
This has been demonstrated at the Flutter Forward event, the Flutter News Toolkit was launched. This is in part with the latest project in a merger with the Google News Initiative. Concurrently, it parallelly considered the phones to be the primary source, therefore it is essential for publications to bring enhanced the mobile experience.
Essentially, a committed mobile app helps to keep readers engaged, alongside creating potential revenue. That’s exactly the place where Flutter comes into the role, being a cross-platform app development framework. It parallelly develops both Android and iOS with simple convenience. This toolkit includes a suite of templates, pre-made solutions, and other guidelines.
- User onboarding: re-engage your audience with push notifications permissions; acquire ad tracking permissions
- Account creation/login: authenticate through your platform and user social networks (such as Google login); create passwordless accounts
- Content feeds and content pages: display news articles, videos, pictures, ads, and newsletter sign-up prompts
- Monetization: easily add subscriptions and different ad formats
- Search: allow user searches for articles by keyword or click on popular searches
- Settings: allow user preferences for notifications, login, and ads tracking
It is worth noticing here, that these tools aren’t solely essential for news media apps. At the same, nothing prompts developers in order to take advantage of the Flutter News Toolkit for any kind of app. Notably, Google initially allowed the Flutter News Toolkit to a chunk of publications worldwide for early testing.
