Why Converter NOW

A few years ago I noticed that most of the unit converters on the digital stores were ugly, not immediately usable, with ads and tracking software. I thought it would be a good idea to develop Converter NOW in order to solve all these problems!

🚀 It is made to be easy, fast and usable: just start typing and immediately you have the real-time conversion with all the other units of measurement!

🖌️ It is customizable: the units can be reorganized according to your priorities and your use case

🔢 It integrates a calculator that let you do the calculations in every page

💰 Currency exchange rates updated daily

🎨 Choose your style: use the accent color of your device or your favorite one

⚫⚪ Choose your favourite theme: dark or white theme

📱🖥️ Multiplatform: available for Android, Web, Linux and Windows

💯 It is free, no ads, no data collection, no permissions (just Internet to update currency conversions). And first of all it is open source!

Build from source code

First you need to install flutter and all the tooling for your target platform (e.g. Android Studio for Android, etc.). Then you have to install two tools:

  • dart pub global activate melos (useful to easily manage the repository)
  • dart pub global activate vector_graphics_compiler (useful to compile the svg icons)

Then, run melos bootstrap in the root of the project in order to get all the dependencies, generate the translation files and optimize the svg icons. Then follow the instructions for the platform you want to target.

Android

On Android you should first disable the signing option in android/app/build.gradle (just comment that line). Then you can type flutter build apk --split-per-abi to compile the code. You can find the output in build/app/outputs/flutter-apk folder.

Linux

Type flutter build linux to build the Linux app. You can find the output in build/linux/x64/release/bundle.

Windows

Type flutter build windows to build the Windows app. You can find the output in build/windows/runner/Release.

Web

Type flutter build web to build the Web app. You can find the output in build/web.

Note: if you deploy it not on the base path, add --base-href=/path/ to the command above, change /path/ with your path.

iOS and MacOS

The app is not tested against iOS and MacOS, but you should be able to compile it even for these platforms. You first need to generate the platform specific code and then compile them.
