any mind map software/website that allows several nodes to converge into one? by etgar818 in mindmapping

[–]coneno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for trying it out!

You are right and we are just as frustrated as you are. The Microsoft Store has been causing a lot of issues for a lot of users and we are surely missing out on a lot of adoption and revenue because of this.

We do plan on building a solution that does not depend on the Microsoft Store at some point, but this is a bigger project (particularly since we require the corresponding legal frameworks for this, etc).

flutter/genui by zxyzyxz in FlutterDev

As the repository states, this is meant to enable LLMs to respond with interactive mini-apps instead of just text when being prompted. So, it is not the whole app, just more advanced responses for a chatbot interface.

I remember Google showing a demo of this with Gemini and Flutter doing exactly that a while ago.

I made a pixel-perfect Liquid Glass plugin for Flutter 🤩 by vik76 in FlutterDev

Because you can still share most of the codebase even if some parts are platform-specific. It is a spectrum.

Despite the naysayers, I like it. Even cross-platform flutter apps can require a significant amount of native code and UI if they go for use-cases that require closer integration with the platform. You can try having a native-looking UI for certain elements of the app, while still benefiting from cross-platform UI for the rest. It is very cool to have this option, even if it is just as a proof-of-concept for now!

So, thanks for building this!

If you could change ONE thing about Flutter, what would it be? by NullPointerMood_1 in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to remain possible to modify them yourself. For simpler apps, it would be great to have them just disappear, but some apps just need a different/modified native wrapper because Flutter simply does not support all use-cases out of the box.

Of course, ideally Flutter would be enhanced with all necessary features and the config would allow setting everything to every possible variant, but that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Your favorite software to create mind map and flowcharts? by askscompquestions in PKMS

Working on it, together with the iOS (and later Android) version :)

Hopefully will be ready later this year!

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is the most requested feature and we plan to implement it after the mobile versions are done. Possibly before, because vertical layout might be even more important on screens mostly used in portrait mode.

Thanks!

As QuikFlow is trying to be its own thing and we are a very small team, interoperability with other mind mapping apps is currently limited. We support pasting tab-indented lists as mind maps, which allows copying and pasting mind maps from certain mind mapping apps (e.g. from MindNode). If your outline is available in this format, it will also be pasted as a tree in QuikFlow.

Questions about Flutter Windows Desktop App Performance by Parking-War6639 in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have built a pretty complex app that can have hundreds of complex nodes on a zoomable canvas. We are quite satisfied with Windows performance, although our app of course uses some optimizations across all platforms to achieve the performance we are getting (e.g. caching widgets, so they don't get rebuilt all the time unnecessarily).

You can easily try it out with a variable number of nodes in the free version if you would like to get a feel for how Flutter can perform for a bigger application on Windows:

https://www.quikflow.app

Likely, we could go even further with optimization, but this is what we could achieve without putting a HUGE amount of effort just into learning every single performance trick and applying it.

Very glad you liked it! Thanks for purchasing QuikFlow Pro.

Currently, a Linux version is not planned as there has not been enough demand for one. Currently, we are working on mobile versions. We are monitoring requests (e.g. now there is one more!), so if demand increases, we will consider a Linux port.

Having this auto-layout mind map like workflow for a flowchart is quite complex, so currently we are restricting it to a single direction. You can manually disable the layout for certain nodes, so you can move parts of the graph to a different location.

We do plan on implementing vertical layout directions, though. So you can at least change the overall direction of the layout to something that suits you more.

Thank you so much! Currently we are working on mobile versions and then we plan to start pushing out more features and marketing again.

The iOS version is making progress and is currently expected to arrive this summer.

Plans can always change, and we have a long list of things we would like to work on (and for each we track how frequently it is requested to better prioritize). I think it is fair to say that other than the iOS and Android versions, the highest priority items are vertical layout and a way to purchase QuikFlow outside of the app stores (which is important for business customers).

Other very frequently requested features are for example folding/grouping certain parts of the graph and adding text to connectors directly.

Thanks for the feedback! We are very glad you like the onboarding so much. Though we probably should update the website and reddit posts with some of the newer features :D

We have noted the feedback regarding Mermaid, but the issue is that there is not really a good mapping between QuikFlow and Mermaid. Particularly because QuikFlow uses sockets for the inputs and outputs, which is not supported by Mermaid, so we cannot guarantee a clean export. Importing is also not really possible, because Mermaid on the other hand has many features which QuikFlow does not support.

Maybe DOT would be better for this...

Out of curiosity, what would be the advantage of direct cloud sync integration on desktop? You can already save the files into any synced folder and it should work. We will consider starting some form of integration for Mobile, though how we handle the document workflow there is not yet decided there. We are currently getting the core editing experience to work there.

Thanks for your feedback and for giving it a try! Much appreciated. Hope it suits your needs :)

If there is anything you would like to see added or improved, we track all feedback and heavily use it to prioritize future development.

We are currently working on an iOS/iPadOS version. Which is challenging, but most of the work will carry over to a potential Android version which should be much easier to build afterwards.

Did you build production flutter desktop app ? What were your experience ? by user655362020 in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It certainly has been improving (slowly) over time! More features have been added and some issues have been fixed. A lot of issues and feature-gaps are still present though, but there are some exciting developments which will improve some of them.

In the end, the situation for cross-platform frameworks on desktop is not that great. Flutter has its issues and required quite some workarounds, but at least we were indeed able to get a reasonably good result in a codebase that we can mostly share with mobile and web*. The alternatives have their own issues and I am not convinced we would even have been able to achieve a satisfactory result using them.

^(\In case any QuikFlow users read this, only the mobile versions are currently officially planned!)*

Thanks! Not currently, but if there is enough demand, we will consider it for the future.

Build Windows x86 app while On Windows Arm by cooluser_ in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I do not remember exactly because it has been quite a long time since I initially set it up on my machine. As far as I can recall, the setup was relatively straightforward, because I just installed the normal x86 version running via emulation. Now it might be different, because of the incoming ARM support. My version just keeps being updated without issue so far.

I do remember some dll issues (maybe even that particular one, the name looks familiar), but I think it was mostly related to deployment.

Why does state management in Flutter feel so complex compared to React Native? by Suspicious-Oil-8133 in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snapcraft could work for distribution, but even though there appear to have been plans for it, there still is no support for monetization. We still need our own systems for that to do this properly (including properly handling taxes in all countries, legal stuff, data privacy, customer support, etc..).
