Focus on writing code

Monarch is a tool for Flutter developers. It makes building front-ends a pleasant experience.

Hard-to-reach use cases are painful

Imagine making changes to the last step of the onboarding flow below.

Every time you make a change you have to navigate through the entire flow. That is so frustrating and tedious.

What if you didn't have to go through this pain?

With Monarch you can isolate each piece of the onboarding flow by writing stories:

...
Widget onboarding_2_relax() =>
IntroductionAnimationScreen(initial: 1, target: 2);
...
Widget onboarding_5_welcome() =>
IntroductionAnimationScreen(initial: 4, target: 5);

Monarch will then preview your stories. Now you can jump straight to the last stepβ€”or any step you like.

All your screens are just one click away. That's nice.


Data sources generate friction

Screens depend heavily on data sources which makes your job very difficult.

What if you didn't have to feel this friction anymore?

With Monarch you can isolate your screens from data sources. You can write stories that use mocks, stubs, or whatever you like.

Widget home_loaded() => CourseHomeScreen(appState: mockAppState);

Widget details_active() => CourseDetailsScreen(
course: Course(
imagePath: 'assets/design_course/team.png',
title: 'Flutter Programming',
lessonCount: 12,
money: 250,
rating: 4.8,
isActive: true,
categoryType: CategoryType.coding,
),
onBack: (p0) => null,
);

Widget details_inactive() => CourseDetailsScreen(
...
);

Then use Monarch to preview your changes.

All the friction is gone. That's liberating.


Testing edge cases is hard

Testing an edge case, like previewing the largest text on the smallest device, will always reveal bugs. However, running those tests is hard.

What if you could test edge cases easily?

With Monarch, you can easily test on any device and on any text scale factor.

That was easy.
