Flutter and the Google News Initiative have co-sponsored the development of a news application template. The goal of this project is to help news publishers build mobile applications easily in order to make reliable information accessible to all.

This template aims to significantly reduce the development time for typical news applications by giving developers a head start on core components and features.

The Flutter News Toolkit:

  • Contains common news app UI workflows and core features built with Flutter and Firebase
  • Implements best practices for news apps based on Google News Initiative research
  • Allows publishers to monetize immediately with ads and subscription services

Common services such as authentication, notifications, analytics, and ads have been implemented using Firebase and Google Mobile Ads. Developers are free to substitute these services and can find publicly available packages on pub.dev.

If you're just getting started with Flutter, we recommend first developing familiarity with the framework by reviewing the onboarding guides, tutorials, and codelabs before using this template.
