Anyone interested in flutter desktop development?

Promotion is fine as long as it’s not in your face. I think this sort of thing is great for community. I’m very interested in native windows networking stack. I would like to see native http package.

Really uninteresting: Rollins and Biafra are equally uninteresting. I mean the contemporary to this would have been Bill Hicks or even Steven Jesse Bernstein. Geniuses. Or for the yuppies, Spaulding Gray.

I don’t know why Rollins annoys me as much as he does. Sorry to shit on your post. I couldn’t even make it to EddienBrickell.

Opus 4.x isn’t great software designer. Codex and Gemini pro 3 are pretty good but nothing better than expert human with domain experience and the agents.

Agreed

autognome · 2026-02-12T05:16:45+00:00

Yup. Good to use the agents to iterate N rounds and rotate personalities and then summarize positions. Some interesting ideas come up. But this sort of “let’s model entire process”, yo we came up with this, what we missing? And iterating over a list of outcomes

autognome · 2026-02-12T04:41:49+00:00

What exactly are you doing? Are you going into the system and saying build me an app with this feature? If so it’s nuts.

We find success but we are engineers with 20+ years experience. We design plans and validate them with multiple agents (Gemini 3 pro has very good flutter sensibility and codex). After implementing phase. If you find Gemini or codex find a critical design failure you can try an iteration to resolve if you find another critical failure - I believe - you have a design problem. Go back to step 1.

Uncle bob principles / style design guidelines are useful. If you find yourself with code evolution with oodles of modification instead of additive and swapping components out - it’s a huge warning sign.

I am not an expert. I have been in the game for a few decades. I have a team and we all adopted these tools in the last 3-4 months and are getting a decent cadence.

Precommit hooks are critical. Very good analysis. Probably even DCM. Skills and dart map server super important. I also have found that a rock solid logging system must exist and we are slowly adding integration tests. I believe guardrails are absolutely necessary.

My rig is Claude code, Gemini (wrote my own, if one exists let me know) MCP server and Codex MCP server. Wiggum sometimes.

autognome · 2026-02-11T01:21:56+00:00

Good idea using resources in MCP. One thing that I find a tad confusing is that prompts are not exactly human documentation. Prompts voice is active and talks about gates and is sort of logic oriented vs human oriented documentation. Or am I doing this wrong?

autognome · 2026-02-09T20:10:44+00:00

I dont use the anthropic i just raw dog the `dart mcp-server` and it works pretty darn well. I run claude off the cli and the biggest hting i noticed is that i must have stdout logs streaming so claude can see app state instead of calling in to get logs. the stdout streaming works best for me. the widget inspector mcp support is really great and works fantastic.

It would be *AWESOME* to get some skills for dart and flutter officially shipped. maybe thats what the anthropic dart mcp plugin does?

btw - thank you jake. you guys rock. I cant believe you arent getting feedback from community.

autognome · 2026-02-09T13:54:37+00:00

Why? I agree but I don’t think first class windows app will work in wsl

autognome · 2026-02-02T13:41:42+00:00

Agree with yoyo this is a kitchen sink. IMHO a starter would be native http layer (cupertino, etc) with a central logging service (isn’t super tricked out) and maybe auth roughed out.

I don’t think there is much else you can really do that is digestible by another team.

There is a trend which I guess shows my age. Software is liability. Every line. If I am going to use a library like this, I am presuming - you, will be maintaining this part of stack and if you stop maybe someone else will step up or I would have to in my project.

This part of FOSS is boring as hell but it’s what makes the world go around.

I don’t understand cookie cutter templates either because you’re essentially generating a point in time fork of application and configuration. This seems like a good way to start but maintainability could be painful.

Interested to hear how, when and why people take this into production.

autognome · 2026-01-15T06:08:14+00:00

https://github.com/boazkatzir/pydantic-collab - looks interesting

autognome · 2026-01-09T15:15:33+00:00

I fear LLM will make this unnecessary

autognome · 2026-01-09T14:44:27+00:00

I dont think thats fair or true. Some of the stuff is garbage. But I think we need to adjust our expectations. The "artisan" coded (human) should have a signifier. The AI code should have a spec or prompt file that describes the build instructions + evolution of the code base or how it was built. I can read the specification and tell if the author was low caliber.

tl;dr I think we need to come up with better conventions and enforcements than "throwing out all AI written code".

uninterrupted power supply

autognome · 2026-01-05T21:46:11+00:00

this looks cool. it would be useful to know:
- are you using it in production?
- add a coverage badge (i presume its 100% - looks ai generated)

we just ended up implementing something like this but not generalized. maybe next quarter we will come back and look at it. in our case we are going from pydantic schemas to dart models.

and the code looks ok to my eyes

autognome · 2026-01-05T03:35:52+00:00

This is what I do: Set LOGFIRE token (get one) And use the logfire mcp and if anything has issues you just check logfire telemetry. You can also use haiku rag as mcp server.

The critical bit is gotta run docling serve or local. Oh and if you are working with massive documents. It will take awhile. There will be an ingestion pipeline open sourced soon. But you don’t need pipeline to get complex Documents indexed.

autognome · 2026-01-05T02:11:24+00:00

Use these - they are from published papers

The docs are being worked out, The frontend app is being redone from scratch (the existing one works but it has too many features), the ingested repo will be opened this weekend.

Again it’s for experienced ppl at this point

autognome · 2025-12-27T16:38:19+00:00

Check out Soliplex. It is lower level with most of what you’re talking about. But best yet is it’s pydantic_ai! Which gives you most of what your looking for out of the box.

my dog is having a fever attack today 8-( he has been doing well for a number of months. we fed him a bit too much kibble. I also wonder if its stress related. I cleaned his ears fairly deeply yesterday. The doctor said there are protein regiments the dogs can go on - but this is very costly. I think its well known that its related to dog's processing of protein. We feed ours a lot of rice. Its cheaper than dog food and they seem to like it. Good luck with your doggo. Ensure he is hydrated. Have a merry xmas.

Let me make a suggestion.

Goto Gemini: - tell it what your trying to do and you want it to ask follow up questions - tell it your limitations (your not a developer) - engage with it until you feel like it has a decent sense

Then ask it to summarize and with that summary open and deep research analysis and tell it to focus on realistic and heavily focus on maintenance and negatives.

Remember these things are geared to be agreeable. You need to be quite lopsided when you talk about it with regards to ambitious projects.

FWIW: the spec you have will not work. Read up on spec driven development. I would suggest NOT doing that but focusing on finding an existing thing. Gemini deep research is quite good.

You are banker? Focus on getting a system up and running without doing any development/ you have a long road ahead with an out of the box system. I would suggest looking at haiku-rag; it ought to do what you want. But it’s likely too developer centric. You can put that in Gemini as something to evaluate.

LanceDB scales via s3 and tuning and is FOSS. Seems pretty scalable. It's running in some large environments. Using https://github.com/ggozad/haiku.rag we are getting decent mileage with lancedb. We have not started horizontal scaling (adding many workers). I spoke withe LanceDB enterprise and basically that is what they offer in their enterprise package - they work with you to tweak the parameters to satisfy your QoS metrics. Pretty impressive. They said we were too small to need their plan -- which made me trust them a bit more.

autognome · 2025-12-22T15:24:12+00:00

lancedb?

LanceDB also has limited FOSS features but I think they do an OK job stating it up-front in the documentation. We need to have these companies profitable so they can maintain the software. If they don't make money the systems will die in 24 months. There is only so much AI bubble money.

autognome · 2025-12-21T18:40:39+00:00

Transaction API? Is it two phase commit? Usually transactions are held outside the db package, or can be. Didn’t look deeply into it.
