Turning Chemistry Into Code: Building Alomole with Flutter + PubChem API

Hey everyone! I’m Alok, a chemistry student and indie developer from Assam, India. Over the past few months, I’ve been building Alomole, a mobile app that blends chemistry education with real-time data from the PubChem API. The app helps users: Search for compound info using name or molecular structure Balance chemical equations Explore organic reactions, and more (all offline-friendly!) Why I built it: I wanted to create something that bridges chemistry theory with practical tools. As someone who studies chemistry and codes in Flutter, this was a fun way to combine both worlds. How I built it: Flutter (for UI) Firebase (for storage and user data) GetX (state management) PubChem API (for compound data) JSON-based local chemical database mainly for periodic table Would love your input on: Ways to make chemistry more fun and accessible on mobile Thoughts on offline tools vs online data for education apps Any ideas for new features or improvements? Happy to share more technical insights or code snippets if anyone’s curious. Let’s nerd out on molecules and mobile dev!
