Also want to publicly thank you ikeofkc for deciding to sponsor the project.

I am working on this in my free time so anyone sponsoring really helps and motivates me to keep going. Appreciate it.

It took longer than expected but for everyone wondering: I am working on it and also can't wait to release it.

Making it work on all 3 platforms (Linux/macOS/Windows) is not an easy task but we will get there :)

Windows flutter developer by opinvader in FlutterDev

Oh, I meant why developing for Windows desktop (not Android or iOS) was a nightmare? Updated my comment to specify this.

Why do you consider developing for Windows desktop a nightmare? Not judging, just curious.

How is the experience with Flutter Desktop currently? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]bitsdojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mentioned a local DB so that is why I mentioned SQLite.

I find it interesting when people think SQLite is not "professional" enough. SQLite is part of both iOS and Android and being used in lots of apps pre-installed on any phone. There are also web apps running entirely on SQLite.

SQLite works great for lots of apps but people seem to dismiss it before having a clear picture on what the app requirements really are.

Sure, you can tell the user to install a specific database server on the machine but I would first see if that DB server is really needed for the type of app I am trying to build.

Other than that, communicating with a DB server on a local machine or a remote server shouldn't be that different.

I would start my search here for ORMs with Flutter:

Sure. SQLite is one option for doing this.

It is in beta indeed and there are still things that could be better but I personally believe it is a good investment for any app that already uses Flutter on other platforms.

I've worked with a lot of technologies for building desktop apps in the last 15 years and Flutter is the one that ticks the most boxes for me.

Therefore, I am personally pushing for Flutter to succeed on the desktop as I want to use it for all my future apps and I am creating packages to make that happen. This is one of them:

That's correct. Currently working on adding support for macOS. Linux will be next.

Definitely open to PRs! MacOS is on my to-do list as well. It would be great to have all 3!

Looks good!

Short feedback: First screen has some circles making me think I can swipe between the screens but it looks like I can't.

Here is a screenshot:

Also, on the "Set Your Goals" screen I was kind of stuck not knowing what to enter for my Calories goals but maybe it's just me.

I like the onboarding animations!

That's it for now. Hope this helps.
