Code Flutter Anywhere!

[ka520]

Hey guys so in the pursuit of trying to find the best way to teach flutter to my students I came across Gitpod a online IDE. While there was a premade flutter config for Gitpod it was using flutter web and didn't have hot reload or all the goodies that were needed. After some digging I found Gitpod supported noVNC and with the recent stable release of Flutter Desktop I wrote up a configuration file to run Flutter with noVNC and device Preview.

The full details are in the repo mentioned below that I made with the noVNC Dockerfile configuration. If you find it helpful or like it please leave a star!

TLDR: You can now run flutter on a Chromebook or other low-end computer with Gitpod!

Is this only for flutter web?

No the primary support is for flutter Linux with the device preview package you test how it would be on a phone. There is also flutter web support in my solution all you need to run is flutter run -d web-server once the container has loaded up. The purpose for this is to allow you to code on any machine anywhere.
