I would like to know more about this because I never understood how the connection between the two could be made.

@miguelmartins17 good question. The Flutter App will make HTTP Requests to the Phoenix REST API. That's why I created #6 to test how easy/difficult it is to make a REST API request. 👍 Once we have got the REST Requests working we will need to implement WebSockets for "real time" interactions. Phoenix's "superpower" is making WebSockets easy. See: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/networking/web-sockets

Now I understand how it's gonna work. Thank you! 👍
