DistantQueue - website (link)
This is the project of a website to introduce potential users to the DistantQueue service. It was developed with Flutter, but only for web purpose.
DistantQueue is a service that allows its users to "skip the line" in any kind of business. It is made up of two apps: DistantQueue - Customer that you can use to book the "jump-the-line" tickets that allow you to avoid queues, and DistantQueue - Owner that you can use to manage your business registered to DistantQueue. The apps are available on both Google Play and the App Store.
| DistantQueue - Customer |  |

|---|---|---|
| DistantQueue - Owner | |

The website structure is very simple and contains only 4 routes. The first one is the home route (lib/routes/home_route.dart), which briefly explains what the product is meant to do and why users should choose it, and redirects the two categories of potential users to the appropriate route: either the "For Businesses" route or the "For Customers" route.
In the "For Businesses" route (lib/routes/for_businesses.dart) I explain to the business owners how they should use DistantQueue in their business. In the "For Customers" route (lib/routes/for_customers.dart) I explain the customers how to skip the line in the businesses that use DistantQueue.
Moreover, there is a "Contacts" route (lib/routes/contacts_route.dart), that users can use to contact me if they have any question.
All the routes are built upon a base route (lib/commons/base_route.dart). It consists of the base structure of a route in this project, with a navigation bar on top, a footer at the bottom and the content of the route in between. The base route structure evolves in a more complex structure used for the "For Customers" and "For Businesses" routes, that takes the name of IllustratedBaseRoute and resides in lib/commons/users_base_route.dart. It re-uses the base structure of the base route, but adds a header and a sub-header at the top, and a series of described illustrations below.
The whole DistantQueue service is built upon Flutter, but, while the Customer and Owner apps use the stable version of the framework, the website uses a beta version with web support. For this reason, you could experience some problems while visiting the website. I am committed to update this project to the stable version as soon as it is available. I decided to use Flutter web anyway to start exploring and to get confidence with this new platform, that will surely expand in the near future.
The main purpose of this website, as I stated at the beginning of this README, is to introduce potential users to the DistantQueue service. However, I decided to make it open source and to publish it on GitHub to provide the community with a nice Flutter Web real-life experiment, that anyone can play with. This is not a playground meant only for development purposes, but a website that was developed for real reasons and will have a real feedback, and that anyone can use to get in touch with a new platform. As any other GitHub project, anyone can contribute to this project, providing any kind of help or suggestions.
