Built a Flutter app: voice-dictated notes with local-first storage

Wanted to share a recent side project — a notes app built with Flutter, focused on getting offline-first architecture and state management right.

Stack: 🔹 Hive — fast, local NoSQL storage (no backend, fully offline) 🔹 Riverpod — state management, with providers cleanly separating data, voice, and UI layers 🔹 speech_to_text — tap-to-dictate notes by voice, with continuous listening across pauses

A few things I focused on: → Keeping persistence reactive — the UI updates instantly on any add/edit/delete, no manual refresh logic → Designing the voice layer so partial speech results preview live, but only commit to the note once finalized — so words don’t get dropped or overwritten mid-dictation → Clean separation of concerns: repository handles storage, notifiers handle state, screens stay dumb and reactive

Code’s public on GitHub — feedback welcome 👇 https://github.com/sadhammine-a11y/voicetonotes
