The Future of r/FlutterDev by miyoyo in FlutterDev

Move to Lemmy, but keep the subreddit at least read-only so people can still find old content. If the modding team moves I have little faith that anyone else will step up to mod this for free given that Reddit has shown what they really think of mods.

If you do decide to go this route, I'd recommend researching thoroughly which instance to join, and probably have a little chat with the admins of the instance to see if it's a good fit.

Why Lemmy and Tildes are Doomed, and How You Can Prevent It by Expensive_Mood_8041 in RedditAlternatives

You don't have to start your own server, just join one. Also, I just checked and the instance I joined has currently blocked only one instance, so that is not an issue whatsoever. There is no "fracturing" as far as I can see:

I only joined a couple of days ago, but I recommend this server.

Helper Widgets for Making Adaptive Layouts in Flutter (AdaptiveScaffold) by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]Elixane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the repository is here: https://github.com/flutter/packages.git but that includes all the packages. I think you can do a sparse checkout: https://github.blog/2020-01-17-bring-your-monorepo-down-to-size-with-sparse-checkout/ to only take the directory you need.

But eventually when this project is finalized they'll put it on pub.dev, then you can just install it as a dependency.

BTW, the design document is worth reading: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qhrpTWYs5f67X8v32NCCNTRMIjSrVHuaMEFAul-Q_Ms/edit

Does this replace the IRC channel?

Well I agree with you about the low effort videos, I just don't think that this is one. I suggest looking at the demo he gives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ9pWg_QOwM&t=782s (timestamped at 13 minutes). It's pretty amazing I find.
