Built a co-parenting app in 2 months

Built a co-parenting financial records app — I spent 20 years at Oracle building enterprise systems so the data integrity and security side came naturally, but Flutter was new territory.

Stack is Next.js + Flutter iOS sharing a Supabase backend. The core idea: instead of tracking expenses as isolated transactions (which is how most competitors do it), it maintains a true running ledger — both parents add entries from either side, they accumulate, and you settle the net. Separate ledgers for shared expenses and alimony/child support. Everything is immutable after the fact — no edits, no deletes, timestamped approvals and disputes. The goal is something that holds up if it ever ends up in front of a mediator or attorney. Each transaction has an embedded message thread for discussions. App also has calendar for custody & event scheduling, and message hub that surfaces all the messages from across the transactions.

Built it as a solo project — web app is live, iOS just submitted to the App Store. Supabase RLS doing the heavy lifting on multi-tenant data isolation, pg_cron handling recurring transactions, Edge Functions for email. PostHog for analytics — which has already been entertaining since I watched a competitor manually audit the whole app yesterday.

Happy to answer questions about the stack or the build if anyone's curious.

Flutter UI vs Typescript

I developed an app (fairledger.app) in both typescript (web) and flutter (mobile). I use claude to develop in parallel, same core code pushed to both platforms. Same UI, same screens, etc. tbh, the web version seems to be more visually appealing. Running typescript in mobile browser looks better than the flutter app (except for the 'in browser vs app' aspect). The app just seems 'flat' compared to the web version? I realize I do have a critical eye and lean into perfectionism sometime,

Are there some flutter elements feature I can leverage to give a little 'pop' to the mobile app?
