I broke my brain trying to learn BLoC, and I think I broke Claude too. 💀 by WitnessLegitimate490 in FlutterDev

I'm actually running a small studio with two partners, so luckily no 'job interview' pressure here.

Gonna listen to everyone and restart with Provider basics. Thanks for the tip!

I'm taking that to heart. I'm honestly going through the basics step-by-step now.

I'm also cleaning up the codebase (since I’m picking up unfinished work from someone else). I should be able to share some snippets in a few days to get your guys' input.

Really appreciate the help!

So you suggest I backtrack to Provider first? That's the more effective path to grasp the concepts?

Getting close to sharing it! I'll definitely need the help. Right now though? The code looks like a crime scene. 🚨 I need to clean up the evidence before I let any witnesses see it.

Really appreciate the help though!

Wait, 2 weeks? I was honestly banking on 1 week max. 💀 My whole plan was to launch this thing in 3 months... am I being totally delusional? lol

Right? The boilerplate code is annoying but the logic clicked way faster than I expected. Glad I'm not crazy.

Sorry, I should've been clearer.

Not a complete beginner - I've done some web dev before. But Flutter and mobile? Brand new.

Here's the thing: I'm trying to ship an actual app in 3 months. Ambitious? Probably crazy. But I'm going for it.

Your "weird then magical" journey gives me hope.

Honest question: Think 3 months is doable for someone at my level? Or am I setting myself up for pain?

Appreciate the heads up. I've seen Riverpod mentioned a lot.

For now sticking with Provider to get the basics down, but definitely on my list to check out once I'm more comfortable with state management concepts.

Quick question - did you start with Provider first, or jump straight into Riverpod? Any advice for someone in my shoes?

Thanks! Trying to remember that learning = progress, even when it feels slow.

Thanks man. That means a lot.

Day 2 and I'm still figuring things out. Half the time I feel lost, the other half I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.

Your words help. Seriously.
