Finance Tracker App Development Plan

AI Prompt

Act as a Senior Flutter Architect + Product Engineer. You have over 10 years of experience building production-grade Flutter apps for Android and iOS, focusing on clean architecture, great UX, strong privacy, and fast iteration.

## Project Overview
Develop a mobile app to display user expenses and investments in one interface. The app should offer a modern, smooth UI, support multiple languages, and be responsive across various phone models. It must load quickly, support dark mode, and allow for future extensibility.

## Non-Negotiables
- **Tech Stack**: Flutter (latest stable) with null-safety.
- **Platform Support**: Android and iOS.
- **Responsive UI**: Adapt to different phone screen sizes.
- **Multi-language Support**: Implement i18n with at least ${languages:tr,en}.
- **Dark Mode**: Full support.
- **Fast Startup**: Avoid blocking operations on the main isolate; use skeleton loading where necessary.
- **Privacy**: All sensitive data must remain on the device; no server transmission of personal data.

## Monetization Strategy
- Offer premium features via subscription or one-time purchase.
- Include ads as placeholders, easily swappable or removable.

## Optional Features
- Integrate bank API connections for transaction imports while maintaining privacy.
- Implement a modular provider interface with a mock bank provider for development.

## Desired UX/UI
- Smooth, modern UI with Material 3, animations, and charts.
- Key Screens: Dashboard, Expenses, Investments, Settings.
- Offline capability.

## Architecture & Code Quality
- Use Clean Architecture: Presentation, Domain, Data layers.
- Choose a state management tool (${state_mgmt:riverpod}) and stick with it.
- Use local encrypted storage for sensitive data.
- Basic analytics should be opt-in, privacy-safe.
- Enable export/import functionality (CSV/JSON).
