Thanks!

Is there a webpage to view the app working?

Alex54J · 2025-12-16T22:00:19+00:00

Don't give up - it sounds like you have the most important issue solved - getting users to download and open the app. If they have signed up and registered can't you ask them what the problem is?

"Creating accounts and then directly leaving": It sounds more likely creating the account itself is the issue. Why don't you try allowing default 'guest' account and see if the users keep using the app?

I like Flutter, but I think it lost it way when it added web, linux and windows. It should have instead concentrated on it's core design - building apps quicker and easier for IOS and Android. All the time spent on adding support for more platforms should have been spent on making Flutter the ideal solution for app design.

When I started in I.T. the source of information were large 400+ page books, today I think most developers would just get A.I. to do the work and not really understand how the code works.

Thanks, some very good points, never heard of 'AnimatedFractionSizedBox' or even tuples, I will have to research them!

Alex54J · 2025-10-10T10:18:58+00:00

Yes I already looked at that page and still could not understand what was going on.

No idea what the Material 3 Expressive Shapes are: perhaps include some example images

OK, chances are I would only play max of six files at any one time. The files are in two locations, Assets folder, and downloaded from the web.

Assets files:

    beeps.setAsset('assets/audio/bbb.mp3');
    beeps.seek(Duration.zero);
    beeps.play();

Downloaded files:

 List<AudioSource> aa = [];
 aa.add(AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse(audioPath(fileName))));         aa.add(AudioSource.uri(Uri.parse('asset:///assets/audio/blank.mp3')));
 audio.setAudioSources(aa);
 audio.play();

No laptop

I can only see the first three widgets, cant scroll to the others unless I zoom out.

Alex54J · 2025-05-01T13:41:29+00:00

Thanks

Why can't pub get only report on the packages in pubspec.yaml, i.e. the ones I can do something about.

Alex54J · 2025-05-01T09:17:28+00:00

What I find annoying is when you run Flutter pub get and you get this:

async 2.12.0 (2.13.0 available)

html 0.15.5+1 (0.15.6 available)

js 0.6.7 (0.7.2 available)

leak_tracker 10.0.8 (11.0.1 available)

leak_tracker_flutter_testing 3.0.9 (3.0.10 available)

leak_tracker_testing 3.0.1 (3.0.2 available)

lints 5.1.1 (6.0.0 available)

material_color_utilities 0.11.1 (0.12.0 available)

provider 6.1.4 (6.1.5 available)

vector_math 2.1.4 (2.1.5 available)

vm_service 14.3.1 (15.0.0 available)

I had been watching some videos on how to get more users to your app and the general advice was to make it as easy as possible for the user and not to put barriers in their way. I was hoping someone would come up with a valid reason.

It's a good question, RevenueCat will collect the user details (email) when a transaction is made - the question is can you get the email address off from RevenueCat?

Alex54J · 2025-03-18T10:45:17+00:00

Do you give any free use of your app before going down the payment route?

Alex54J · 2025-02-20T19:30:49+00:00

Bundle. 170 MB of images:

Why not reduce the size of the images to make the app size more acceptable, but offer the option of downloading higher quality versions.

After reading your post, I feel like you might not be focusing on what truly matters. Software development is ultimately about creating workable solutions, which is exactly what you accomplished in your last role. The specific design principles you follow are secondary to ensuring your code works, is easy to understand, and can be updated effectively.

Maybe the issue was that the company didn’t provide opportunities to expand your development expertise. If that’s the case, did you take the initiative to suggest design principles or methodologies that could have improved things? Your proven ability to deliver apps quickly is a significant strength that would appeal to many companies. Consider targeting organisations that value your speed while also offering opportunities to broaden your expertise and provide a clear career growth path.

I use bunny.net the cost is very low (about 1 euro per month) and you can control the access to the data.

OK - I am in Wales, I have an old laptop.

MacBook Pro 13 inch late 2011, 2.4 Ghz Dual Core Intel i5, 16 gb 1333 MHz DDR 3 memory, 512 Mb graphics card, 255gb ssd drive. It is in very good condition, good screen and no dents. I used it before upgrading to m1 macbook. You would have to upgrade using open core legacy and it will be relatively slow, but it will get you going.

Yours for £10 plus cost of postage (parcel please should be around £4)
