Geekle is organizing the second [Flutter Global Summit](https://geekle.us/flutter) after they delivered the first one in July this year. As usual, they have a **free junior track** and a senior track with "deep tech content". Did you attend the first event? How was it? I would love to know your opinion.

Remember that you can always find [**free meetups** about Flutter](https://www.meetup.com/pro/flutter/#events) in your area. I was at [one of them](https://flutternl.org/#/) in the Netherlands yesterday and I met new Flutter developers who **helped me** with a **problem** I was having in one of my apps.

### 🔗 [Glassmorphism in Flutter](https://medium.com/@felipe_santos75/glassmorphism-in-flutter-56e9dc040c54)

I did not know that **glassmorphism** was one of the trends of 2021. I was still stuck with **[neumorphism](https://ishouldgotosleep.com/this-week-in-flutter-4/#custom-neumorphic-shapes-in-flutter)**. Look how easy it is to implement in this article by [Felipe Santos](https://github.com/FelipeSantos75).

### 🔗 [Art with Dart 🎯](https://medium.com/geekculture/art-with-dart-d35c98611acc)

If you do not have your own **plushy Dash**, you can create a digital version by following this funny tutorial by [Yash Paneliya](https://github.com/yashpaneliya). And if you want a more **minimalistic** one, Vandad Nahavandipoor also [created his own Dash](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6845367055923908608/) from scratch.

### 🔗 [Flutter and AdMob: A blog around monetizing your Flutter app with AdMob](https://dhruvnakum.xyz/flutter-and-admob-a-blog-around-monetizing-your-flutter-app-with-admob)

There are different ways to **monetize** with your Flutter app. You can make users pay to download it, you can have in-app purchase plans, you can let users subscribe using recurring payments to use all the features, or you can **show ads** to your users. In this article, [](https://hashnode.com/@Dhruv-Nakum)[Dhruv Nakum](https://github.com/red-star25) teaches you how to integrate [AdMob](https://admob.google.com/home/) into your app.

### 🔗 [Best practices for laying out your Flutter app](https://blog.logrocket.com/best-practices-laying-out-flutter-app/)

[Majid Hajian](https://github.com/mhadaily) shares some interesting tips you should consider when **building widgets**. Some of them will make your app performing better, some others are must-known facts.

### 🔗 [How to build a Chat Messaging UI in Flutter](https://codewithandrea.com/articles/chat-messaging-ui-flutter/)

Many apps include a chat feature. [Andrea Bizzotto](https://github.com/bizz84/) attempted to re-create the typical **chat bubbles** as simply as possible. And [kind of failed](https://twitter.com/biz84/status/1437409386423521282?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1437409386423521282%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcodewithandrea.com%2Farticles%2Fchat-messaging-ui-flutter%2F) 😅. But then he **tried again** and this article came out. Do not give up easily, and, like for Andrea, the solution will arrive, sooner or later.

### 🔗 [Getting to know Flutter: Easy notifications with MBMessages](https://dev.to/theotherdevs/getting-to-know-flutter-easy-notifications-with-mbmessages-5gjm)

MBurger is a platform that helps you **publishing meaningful content** to your users. As a developer, you integrate it with your app, and then, as a marketer, you just push content to the app for your users to see. In this article, you'll learn from [TheOtherDev/s](https://twitter.com/TheotherdevS) how to easily send **push notifications** to your users in Flutter with MBurger.

### 🔗 [Creating a Flutter onboarding screen](https://blog.logrocket.com/creating-flutter-onboarding-screen/)

If the user experience of your app is not trivial, you might need to add an **onboarding screen** to be shown when the user launches the app for the first time. This is exactly the content of this tutorial by [](https://blog.logrocket.com/author/lewiscianci/)[Lewis Cianci](https://lewiscianci.com.au).

### 🔗 [Explore Autocomplete Widget In Flutter](https://medium.com/flutterdevs/explore-autocomplete-widget-in-flutter-70d3478bacc4)

In this article, [Shaiq Khan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaiq-khan-6254a8111/) implements **autocomplete search** in a sample app. I did not know it was that simple.
