How to Make a Portfolio App with Flutter

Skill Bars

class Skill {
  final String name;
  final double level; // 0.0 – 1.0
  final Color color;

  Skill({required this.name, required this.level, this.color = Colors.blue});
}

class SkillBarWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  final List skills;
  const SkillBarWidget({super.key, required this.skills});
  @override State createState() => _SkillBarWidgetState();
}

class _SkillBarWidgetState extends State
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late AnimationController _ctrl;
  late List> _anims;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _ctrl = AnimationController(
      vsync: this,
      duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1500),
    );
    _anims = widget.skills.map((s) =>
      Tween(begin: 0, end: s.level).animate(
        CurvedAnimation(parent: _ctrl, curve: Curves.easeOutCubic),
      ),
    ).toList();
    _ctrl.forward();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AnimatedBuilder(
      animation: _ctrl,
      builder: (ctx, _) => Column(
        children: List.generate(widget.skills.length, (i) {
          final s = widget.skills[i];
          return Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 6),
            child: Column(
              crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
              children: [
                Row(
                  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                  children: [
                    Text(s.name, style: const TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.w600)),
                    Text('\${(s.level * 100).toStringAsFixed(0)}%'),
                  ],
                ),
                const SizedBox(height: 4),
                ClipRRect(
                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(4),
                  child: LinearProgressIndicator(
                    value: _anims[i].value,
                    minHeight: 8,
                    backgroundColor: Colors.grey.shade200,
                    valueColor: AlwaysStoppedAnimation(s.color),
                  ),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          );
        }),
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _ctrl.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }
}

UI & UX Suggestions

Use a clean white, blue primary, accent colour per project category colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
