The PhotoService class serves as the backbone of the application, handling all photo-related operations with robust error handling and performance optimization.
class PhotoService {
// Constants
static const String _trashedPhotosKey = 'trashed_photos';
// Core Methods
Future<List<AssetEntity>> getAllPhotos() async { ... }
Future<double> getPhotoSize(AssetEntity photo) async { ... }
Future<void> moveToTrash(AssetEntity photo) async { ... }
Future<bool> permanentlyDeletePhoto(AssetEntity photo) async { ... }
}- Async Operations: All methods are asynchronous for non-blocking UI
- Error Handling: Comprehensive try-catch blocks with logging
- Data Persistence: Uses SharedPreferences for trash management
- Memory Optimization: Efficient photo loading and caching

A highly optimized custom widget that handles gesture recognition and visual feedback with 60fps performance.
void _handlePanUpdate(DragUpdateDetails details) {
// Calculate swipe velocity and direction
final velocity = details.delta.dx;
final threshold = MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.3;

}SwipeClean follows a minimalist, gesture-first design philosophy that prioritizes:
- Immediate Feedback: Every interaction provides instant visual and haptic response
- Cognitive Ease: Reduce mental load through intuitive gestures
- Visual Hierarchy: Clear information architecture with purposeful typography
- Accessibility: Support for screen readers and assistive technologies

Photo Loading Flow
Scenario: User loads photos successfully Given the app is launched When permissions are granted Then photos should load within 2 seconds And progress indicator should be visible
-
Swipe Gesture Recognition
Scenario: User swipes to delete photo Given a photo is displayed When user swipes left beyond threshold Then photo should move to trash And statistics should update
-
Batch Operations
Scenario: User processes multiple photos Given multiple photos are loaded When user swipes through all photos Then completion dialog should appear And statistics should be accurate
- Local-First: All photo processing happens on-device
- No Cloud Upload: Photos never leave the user's device
- Minimal Permissions: Request only necessary permissions
- Transparent Operations: Clear communication about what data is accessed
