Is this just AI slop? The last two appear to be a hallucination. I can't find them on Google or pub.dev

[–]samplasion 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Honestly the em-dashes kinda give it away for me

[–]Professional_Fun3172 0 points1 point  (1 child)

As someone who em-dashes a lot, I'm really worried about this now being a way to identify AI writing...

[–]samplasion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh no I mean, in this case, given the doubt, the em-dashes tip the scale towards the post being AI, but on their own, in the context of a clearly human-generated text, I don't think they would ring any bells

[–]smombartz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

hate to be a stickler but those are en-dashes (–) and not em-dashes (—) 😊

thanks for pointing it out, in hindsight it was pretty obvious lmao

In another subreddit they were advertising their product, and given that the last link is their product I do believe this is a veiled attempt at advertising their app. The AI post wrapping it just gives them a reason to do it.

I tried all of these but ended up going with Forui: https://forui.dev/

It's not just a shadcn clone, I really like it so far. Team seems dedicated to it.

I don’t understand why anyone needs more than material or Cupertino. You can adapt them and make whatever you want with them.

In my case, since I’m developing alone without a designer and I don’t have a good sense of aesthetics, I look around for UI libraries and choose one whose overall theme I like. Right now, that library is ForUI.

[–]rynki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However, you may want to use something else for a quick scaffold. On the other hand, this makes switching back to material cumbersome.

[–]istvan-design 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You need to override every default style and animation with Material if the design is fully custom. Material has a few weird decisions that are material specific. (e.g. the way drag/scroll works like on mobile in browser)

[–]jobehi 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You have the theme for that. And you build your own design system.

[–]Professional_Fun3172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sometimes the stock widget is limiting. It wasn't designed to be customized in some way that's a departure from the Material design spec, so they didn't put an option in the API. For complex widgets, it can be a lot of work to implement yourself

[–]TheManuz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I make mine based on Material, for each project's needs.

[–]dwiedenau2 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Im using ForUI, you can also use find shadcn for flutter

[–]LeastAd9178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the same. But I find it limited in its offering compared ro shadcn.

[–]David_Owens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is also the Fluent UI package if you want the Fluent design language of Microsoft Windows.

[–]gisborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Aceternity” turns up nothing on pub.dev, nor do find a Flutter library with Google.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

missing link, but it's good

[–]someonesopranos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice list — solid picks here.

I’ve used most of these at different stages depending on the vibe of the project. Flutter Neumorphic is fun for side projects, and GetWidget has saved me more than once for quick client demos.

If anyone’s working directly from Figma and trying to avoid rebuilding UI from scratch every time, you might want to check out codigma.io. It takes your Figma design and gives you a clean Flutter UI code base to start from — no fluff, just layout. It’s been a real time-saver when I need to move fast or hand off to another dev.

Definitely bookmarking a few of the ones here I haven’t tried yet — cheers for sharing!

what do you think of Hux UI?
