As 2024 draws to a close, we at Rebel App Studio want to take a moment to reflect. It’s been another great year for Rebels, as we’ve continued to create stunning Flutter apps and make meaningful contributions to the Flutter community – which we love dearly!
A year of growth
2024 was a year of success for both Rebels and Flutter. With an increasing number of big production apps built using Flutter—including several developed by our team—we’ve seen the framework thrive. Rebel App Studioby Codemate now boasts a team of 100 skilled professionals and strong operations in Europe and the US. As part of a larger company group with over 1,500 consultants, we have the expertise and resources to tackle any technical challenge or business goal.
Rebel App Studio by Codemate is, above all, about our awesome employees, and our top priority is to give them opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. One of the best ways to grow is by collaborating with a team of experts who inspire and challenge you. This commitment is reflected in some key achievements from 2024:
🚀 Our eNPS remains consistently excellent, scoring above 50.
👩💻 The average coding experience across our team is now 15+ years.
🏆 The median employee tenure has reached an impressive 6.8 years.
Unlocking new platforms
This year, we are continuing to unlock Flutter’s full potential, exploring new possibilities with projects targeting emerging screens. As early adopters, we were among the first in the world to create a production Flutter app – Hookle’s iOS and Android apps launched in 2017 while Flutter was still in beta. In 2021, we broke new ground again with the Moi Web app, one of the first Flutter for Web applications. Now, in 2024, we are thrilled to announce that we are developing multiple Flutter apps for TV platforms, including Android TV, Tizen and webOS.
Building solutions that make a difference
This year, our team was privileged to work on impactful projects that solve real-world problems.
Here are some highlights:
📰 Media Group Keskisuomalainen: Driving digital transformation for Finland’s largest media group
📱 Moi Mobile: Elevating a bold mobile operator contender to the next level
🌮 Taco Bell Finland: Creating a user-centric app to boost customer engagement
These collaborations showcase our ability to create innovative, tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients and their users.
Sharing knowledge, building community
This year, our Rebels took centre stage on the global Flutter scene. In July, we joined Fluttercon Europe, sharing our expertise and connecting with the vibrant Flutter community. Not stopping there, we had the honour of participating in the first-ever Fluttercon USA in September.
For the second consecutive year, we partnered with Flutter & Friends to host engaging livestreams, further cementing our place in the Flutter ecosystem. These collaborations allowed us to share insights, learn from others, and contribute to the ever-growing Flutter ecosystem.
Building for everyone: Accessibility and localisation highlights of 2024
Empowering the Flutter community with practical, developer-friendly solutions is at the core of what we do. In fall 2024, we launched Rebellion, a tool designed to simplify localisation in Flutter apps. With Rebellion, developers can easily check localisation files for errors, making it easier to create apps that resonate with users worldwide.
Accessibility also saw major strides. We updated our Accessibility Tools, by adding a set of tools for manual accessibility testing. Now font size, dark/light theme, text direction, bold text flag, and visual density can be changed directly from the app to ensure that your app handles changes correctly. This aligns with our focus on the upcoming European Accessibility Act, which will bring accessibility requirements to new heights in 2025.
Psst 🤫 Our senior developer Alexander shared insights on accessibility tools during Fluttercon Europe—check out his talk here.
Looking forward
To date, we have released over 80 Flutter applications, solidifying our expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional cross-platform solutions.
As we prepare for 2025, we’re excited to continue innovating, collaborating, and growing within the Flutter community. Thank you to our clients, partners, and team members for making 2024 unforgettable. Here’s to an even brighter future!
