Dota 2 App using Flutter, Firebase and Google Cloud

This is a pet project that born with the idea of having a nice subject to go through some Live Coding sessions. We are getting data from DotaBuff website to have more info about the heroes and latest matches.

That info is going to be used on the Flutter app to build different features, some of them are :

Show which heroes are good/bad against a given hero.
Show a rank of best heroes
Build both match teams and get recommendations while heroes are being picked.

Also we are going to build a Voice integration that will allow to access some of those same features from the app.

The live codings session happens in Portuguese (PT-BR) and you can follow on my Youtube/Twitch channels.
