I built my first mobile app! It allows you to identify cars with AI, keep track of the ones you've seen, and learn about them! I've wanted to build a mobile app for as long as I can remember, so when gen-AI got as popular as it is now, I took that as my cue to start building with it. This was my side project as I was in school full time and also working a part-time job. I learned how to use Flutter and got to building my first mobile app, Car Hunter. Car Hunter is able to identify a vehicle's make, model, year (range), as well as various specifications from just a picture using AI. It then allows you to store all of the cars you've seen in a collection, which you can then compare with friends. This app is quite simple in theory, so I thought it would be a good project to start with. It took me 4 weeks to build and I released it back in May, but the initial state of the app was very poor. The UI was difficult to navigate, it was plagued with bugs, the AI model was only accurate about 70% of the time, and it ran poorly. Recently, I decided to revamp the app. I spent the past week rewriting huge portions of the app (which I initially wrote almost entirely in a single 1600 line file as I didn't know any better). Car Hunter now has a completely redesigned UI, a model that is over 90% accurate, runs quite a bit faster, and has had every bug I could find patched. I would greatly appreciate any feedback I could receive on it and would be very thankful if anyone here wanted to give it a try. If you are interested in downloading, the links are below.

I'm a second-year college student who had never written a line of code for a mobile app only 6 months ago. After developing this app, I was able to land multiple contract jobs in app development that have been both invaluable for the learning experience and for the progress I've made with my skills (and code organization). If you are thinking about building a mobile app, go for it! Modern gen-AI can teach you so much of what you need to know and you can learn the rest along the way. It's always a good time to start learning!
