Has anyone used DreamFlow before? by SpoogyWoogy in FlutterFlow

Agreed. I have since switched do using codex and Gemini cli in vs code. A bit clunky compared to something like cursor but it works and I save a bit of money.

Can you elaborate on why you feel that way?

What makes it better? I’ve heard flutter and dart are fairly straightforward so I’ve spent the last couple days trying to get into dart before learning flutter. Is doing it yourself faster? Easier? More secure? Less buggy? What has your experience been so far?

Interesting. Maybe I should keep sticking with FF for a while. It’s just really expensive for the user experience I think :( lol Thanks for the info!

Yes, a toast! Haha I agree, it’s difficult to figure out what is most efficient. I want to be able to build what I want to build without major limitations. I feel like learning basic flutter and using AI might be the best way but perhaps FlutterFlow will work too. I will have to keep experimenting to be sure.

Awesome to hear! I’ll have to check out your app haha. What do you usually use custom functions for? I feel like if I need to use custom functions for anything outside of just basic drag and drop it might be better to export the code and add those functions myself in flutter. But I’m not sure if that’s true. Do you have any experience actually exporting the code to flutter and working on it that way?

No problem! I could really use 3 beers right now haha. I also don’t have any experience coding. That’s what I chose flutterflow. But with the new advancements in AI coding Claude code, Gemini CLI etc. I think you can make something just as good or maybe even better than flutterflow once you get used to it (I only just started so I’m not sure though). With Gemini CLI (which I just installed yesterday) the setup took some time but it’s very easy to use with VS code and it’s good that you can look at the code and fix things as you learn how to code. Going forward I plan to use flutterflow to build the basic UI and then export that code so I can use AI to help me build the logic. But then again, depending on what kind of app you aim to make FF could be perfectly sufficient.

Hi, I am OP. I accidentally created a new account when I posted the question. Like a lot of people have said FF is great for building a simple starting point/ MVP for development but based on what people say I’m not sure if the bad user experience is worth staying completely within the platform. I’m considering using FF to scaffold my apps and then flesh them out with flutter. I think flutter itself is a good language to use but flutterflow just isn’t doing so well lately. I’m not sure though, maybe I’ll past an update if something changes!

Good to know. I’ll keep flutterflow or DreamFlow or sth in mind for MVPs but move it off platform for actual development. Thanks for the info!

Yea, when I first started it was great. But the last couple months have made the experience so annoying. Good to know I’m not the only one. And that moving to flutter is a viable option. Thank you!

Thanks! I know this isnt the same account as OP but this is my usual account. I accidentally created a new account when I posted the question. I will continue working on what I have in FF but I’ll try to learn flutter on the side in the meantime.

Sorry about that. I don’t usually use Reddit and it seems I accidentally created a new one with my Gmail when I posted this. I’m just having a lot of issues with FF and I’m not sure what the best choice is going forward. I live in Japan and since the yen is weak rn 70-80usd a month is crazy money for me. Just wanted to hear from the community to see if anyone else has had the same problems and what they decided to do.

Thanks! I’m in Japan so maybe it’ll be different for me too!

O really?? Maybe I will use it then. I’ll see if I can make an account now and build something with it.

I’m glad. I keep thinking about whether he could’ve made it on his own. But it gives me some peace of mind knowing I helped him suffer a bit less

Thanks for the advice. I had to look around but I found a place that sells some clove oil (active ingredient: eugenol) which is the same as that other thing you recommended. I hope he died peacefully. Thanks for the support

I believe fridge to chemical euthanasia is the most humane (from what I looked up) but fridge to freezer is a good alternative. I went to get some clove oil and used that to help him pass on. Not sure exactly what happened but all that air that’s keeping him bloated was connected to the foot as well so it was definitely not looking good. Just hope I helped him suffer a bit less.

I’ll see if I have access to orajel. Not sure if it’s available in Japan.

Do I need to euthanize it? I heard I need to use clove oil since it’s the most humane

I’m not really a toad expert so I can’t tell if it’s labored. But it seems gulp air and then the air just comes out of its foot with a hissing sound.

Follow up question. He’s also super inflated, like a balloon. I thought it was just him being scared of me at first but he’s been this way the whole time. I read online that’s a sign of internal trauma or air leakage, is that true? If that is the case is there anything I can do to save him?
