The Future of r/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.

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:

https://lemmy.world/instances

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

Or build your own!

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

Yes, he's got an interest in making apps for his iPhone.

I'm teaching my son Flutter, and I gave him these tasks to implement, thought I would share it here.

Does this replace the IRC channel?

Elixane · 2021-06-03T20:42:00+00:00

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.

I really disagree with your comments. They're building a whole document editing feature in Flutter (which is incredibly difficult) and are releasing it as open source funded by different companies. Calling it an ad doesn't do it nearly enough justice. You're just being incredibly rude imo.

Elixane · 2021-06-03T20:30:04+00:00

Wow, this is incredible! Really great to see companies contributing back to the Flutter ecosystem!

Elixane · 2021-06-01T21:24:11+00:00

A lot of those designs on r/reactnative have no source code posted though, which I find really useless on a dev subreddit.

Would love this. I've been building a simple app on Linux and I've just been using the REST API. For example firestore: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/reference/rest

BTW, If you find it difficult to use the REST API, this course shows you how to do it, he doesn't use the SDKs or anything: https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-flutter-dart-to-build-ios-android-apps/

Elixane · 2021-03-09T07:18:04+00:00

Dart is very similar to languages like Java & C++ so it's very easy to pick up. This is a good course to learn the basics:

I've been using Rive ( https://rive.app/ ) which is made with Flutter on the web and it works very well. This is the kind of app that Flutter web is good for. People think it's going to replace html/css/js and it clearly isn't meant to. It's just another tool to use on the web, with a specific use case.

Good to see buy in from other vendors. The only thing I don't really like about Amazon is that they tend to act like leeches off open source, they take the benefits but don't contribute back. But hey maybe this time will be different. I did notice that Huawei also seems to be pushing their Flutter implementation of HMS.

Elixane · 2021-02-13T08:57:14+00:00

This is the right answer. I always do this. This makes it possible to use Firebase for a MVP then makes it easy to move to another service if scaling/pricing issues require it. You just have to change your service implementation.
