COVID-19 Tracker

A Flutter app that pulls live pandemic numbers and breaks them down by country.


Problem#

Early on I wanted a real dataset, a real API, and a real reason to care about loading and error states. A live statistics tracker is a compact way to practise all three at once.

Constraints#

  • One Flutter codebase targeting Android, iOS, web and desktop.
  • Handle the unglamorous states properly: loading, empty, error, and stale data.
  • Numbers that are readable at a glance, not a spreadsheet on a phone.

Build#

The app fetches COVID-19 statistics from a public API and presents global totals plus a per-country breakdown, with the network states handled explicitly rather than assumed away. It is an earlier project, and an honest one: a clean, focused build from the stretch where I was getting fluent in Flutter.

Result#

A small app that does one thing cleanly across platforms, and the groundwork for the more ambitious mobile work that came after it.
