News App created in Flutter using News API for fetching realtime data and Firebase as the backend and authenticator.
A Flutter news app from 2018 that pulls articles from the NewsAPI and uses Firebase for auth and saving bookmarks. Covers the basics: category browsing, source filtering, search, and article sharing. Built as a learning project and has the fingerprints of one.
Shows a clean separation of screens (each feature gets its own .dart file). Google Sign-In + Firebase integration is wired up correctly for the era. Good stepping stone for someone learning Flutter state management without a framework getting in the way. Setup instructions are unusually thorough for a 2018 side project.
Abandoned since October 2018 — Flutter has gone through three major versions since then and this almost certainly doesn't build without significant dependency surgery. NewsAPI's free tier now blocks browser requests and has changed its terms since this was written. There are no tests beyond the default widget_test.dart stub. No state management beyond globals (globalStore.dart is a red flag for anything beyond toy scale).
