Building large-scale apps with diverse features and large developer teams requires a modular approach. Vyuh is a framework that uses a CMS-driven methodology to create scalable Flutter apps, allowing dynamic updates without App Store/Play Store releases. Born from the need to manage complex, content-driven features efficiently, Vyuh integrates with Sanity.io to drive the entire app experience.
It balances the flexibility of no-code tools for business teams with the power of full-code IDEs for developers. Vyuh separates responsibilities, enabling business teams to create app journeys through high-level components defined in the CMS, while developers focus on the implementation details in Flutter. This approach ensures modular, transferable features, controlled navigation, and seamless third-party integrations, all supported by a strong design system.
To get into its deep dive, let see below is a sample conversation that happened between Tara (who is a client and wanted to have the News app to be developed and deployed quickly) and Vivek (who is a Project Manager at NonStop IO Technologies Pvt Ltd) who knows the capability and adaptability of Vyuh framework very well. Below is the screenshot of the home page of their News App.
Project Manager (Vivek): Hello Tara, our News App has been Developed and Published!
Client(Tara): (After installing the app) Ahh! Wow really??? in just a week? (After checking the smoothness of the app)…This news app is Good for me!!. Just a few changes need to be made.
Vivek: yeah, sure! can you tell me which changes?
Tara: Instead of opening this News/Category Page on a separate page, can we open it from a dialog that will be coming from the bottom??
Vivek: Umm.. Do you mean BottomSheet, yes we can open it.
Tara: But Vivek, it will again take a day to make this change and then publish and then review. How hectic the process is! Isn’t it?
Vivek: But Tara, We can do it instantly, you just have to refresh your app
Tara: (Surprisingly) What?? are you joking??
Vivek: No Tara. Let me share my screen.
Tara: Wow.. that’s great! I just wanted to see if we could open this BottomSheet as a full screen. Just a thought. Can we do that now??
Vivek: Yes Sure! let me change it to a Full Screen. Please reopen/refresh your app
Tara: Wow, we are shuffling news also, that is great! but Vivek I feel this BottomSheet to be opened into a full screen, could be better. Is it? What if we could open up 80% of the full-screen height? What say, now feels like we need to wait for it again for a day.
Vivek: Na Tara, the same thing we can do again and instantly. Just we have to set a Size here.
Tara: Wow am I dreaming?? That's awesome Vivek. I wanted to know which tool you are using and how you developed it. Like you, can I also make these navigation changes without touching the code?
Vivek: Yes Tara, Sure you can make these changes. Here we have used a production-grade and CMS driven framework, that is Vyuh Framework.
Tara: Oh I see!! Vivek, can you give me a brief introduction?
Vivek: Yes Sure Tara! Vyuh is a tool that helps you build apps quickly and easily using Flutter. It uses a content management system (CMS — Sanity) to control the app, so you can make changes and add new features without needing a big team or a lot of time. This makes it super flexible and fun to work with.

Tara: Wait, Vivek! Sorry for interrupting you, can you please tell me “Create and manage different types of content easily.” What does that mean?
Vivek: Sure! For example Tara, here you can see my shared screen, right? If you want the sequence of this news home screen to change, say if you want News Group to be on the top then News List, and then News Carousel then you can make those changes from here quickly.
Tara: Ohhh I see… that’s very cool..

Tara: Wow Vivek, that’s awesome!! I wanted to know more about it.
Vivek: Sure, Tara you can visit this Vyuh website and as you can see in this live demo, here on this site you will get all about its features, integrations, and pricing which is very worth paying. Is it?
Tara: Yeah! So grateful to be part of Vyuh and NonStop IO Technologies.
Vivek: So happy to work with you. Thank you!
Tara: Bye Vivek. Thank you!
So after seeing this live demo given by Vivek, you can imagine how customizable, comprehensive, and extensible this Vyuh framework is!

So let’s be ready for the surprises that are coming from Vyuh Framework. Stay tuned!
