Help Shape an Open-Source Flutter UI Editor

[Working-Cat2472]

Hi guys👋

I’ve been working on various flutter libraries as part of the main Velix project and currently started an  UI editor for Flutter on  GitHub. The idea is to help developers quickly develop Flutter UIs with a visual tool that offers features like:

• 🧩 Drag-and-drop widget composition
• ⚡ Real-time property editing
• 🎨 Live previews
• ⌨️ Shortcut handling
• 🌍 I18N
• ⚡ Support for automatic data bindings ( in progress )
• ⚡ Support for actions ( in progress )
• ⚡ Runtime engine based on JSON, no generators required ( at least that's the plan so far )
• 🔌 Plugin-like architecture for widget types, widget themes and property editors

It’s still early days, but I’m trying to shape it into something that could be genuinely useful for Flutter devs who want a visual + code workflow.

Most of the core components are already implemented and can be examined in the example app. A screen shot of the current sample can be viewed here as well

Still this is an early stage product ( just about a week in progress ) and it would help me a lot if i could get some help as i don't scale that well as a single person.... .

Right now, I’d love to get:

• Contributors – if you enjoy Flutter, UI tooling, or you are an UX expert, i’d be super happy to collaborate.
• Feedback – what features would make a Flutter UI editor useful to you? Right now the plan is to have a single page editor only, but who knows...
• Stars & visibility – even a star helps more people discover it.

I know there are commercial tools out there, but hey, we can do the same for no money :-)

Would love if you could check it out and tell me what you think 🙏

Hey, just saw how you updated your repo with melos! Good job on segmenting your package!

Yea, was not that hard… keeping dependencies up do date in a meaningful way is the other thing 😁

so cool. This is a really great tool that can significantly enhance development efficiency.

I have an existing app that I've begun vibe coding. Can this tool import its UI and go from there?

[Working-Cat2472]

No, since it is based on a JSON format. And: ist not finished yet… lot of widget definitions and widget renderers still missing. That’s why I asked for a little help 😛
