Flutter project looking for Germany based developer(s) for applying to the Prototype Fund

Hi friends of flutter,

I am the principal of a primary school in Germany. During the covid crisis I started to learn flutter (and flask) and wrote an full stack app for our school to handle information that we need to do our work in a collaborative way. I open sourced it with an AGPL-3.0 license.

We are using a working prototype that has quite a few features implemented (and they are extremely useful), but there are still several problems with the code that need to be addressed by a developer who knows what he/she is doing until I feel comfortable encouraging other schools to use the app.

In Germany, there is a grant program called Prototype Fund that is starting a new call for applications:

I am looking for a developer that would be interested in applying with me for a funding of our project.

Conditions for applicants (from the website):

You are an individual developer or part of a team of up to four people*.
Your idea is a software project.
You are of legal age.
As an individual developer, you are resident in Germany, are self-employed (or take a leave from your job during the time) or freelancers and pay your taxes here.
For teams, your GbR is based in Germany, but the places of residence of individual team members can be outside the EU.

Deadline for applications is January 2nd 2025, the funding starts June 1st 2025 and ends Nov. 30th 2025.

If you might be interested, I’d love to hear from you via DM. I would then contact you and give you more context. Please excuse that I don’t post here the link to the repository - I don’t want to scare you :innocent:

Maybe you have a project yourself and want to apply on your own to the Prototype Fund - I’m happy you found the information useful then and wish you good luck!

Thanks for reading!

Thank you for your interest - unfortunately, only developers residing in Germany can apply for this grant.
Wish you luck!

Guten Abend!
Ich habe mich darauf interessiert und Ihr Projekt heruntergeladen. Ich wollte es ausprobieren. Ich glaube, ich benötige ein paar Dateien, um App aktiv zu benutzen. Falls Sie Zeit haben, möchte ich über App mit Ihnen reden. Ich habe wenige Zeit aber ich möchte beitragen.
LG
