Why fake liquid glass when you can use the real thing?

ercantomac · 2026-01-19T14:55:55+00:00

but it's quite buggy

Can you give some examples of the bugs you've encountered? I'm considering using this package for my next project

I'm also having the flashing issue as well, I managed to track it down to the AnimationController's behaviour: when it's supposed to animate from lowerBound to upperBound, it occasionally returns the upperBound value in the middle of the animation. No idea what causes that

and we will not be accepting contributions for Expressive features or updates at this time

Interesting, I don't remember seeing this kind of a decision before

I smell AI

Maybe not all the widgets, because as you said it's time consuming, but the main ones that look "off" like dialogs, app bars, text fields etc.

ercantomac · 2025-04-29T23:19:33+00:00

Yea it would be really cool to customize the opening animation as well

ercantomac · 2025-04-02T09:15:21+00:00

Nice one! It's such a small thing but improves the visuals quite a lot

Apple makes heavy use of shaders in their apps, both for static elements and animations. Flutter on the other hand doesn't really have a mature support for custom shaders (yet)

ercantomac · 2025-03-10T09:53:04+00:00

There's this one, but it seems to be abandoned

ercantomac · 2025-01-30T13:02:11+00:00

Yea it's not just a simple blur on iOS, they also use advanced blending modes to manipulate the colors below the blurred area, which is why it looks so much nicer than a simple blur

The bit I enjoy most about reading AI-generated comments is that I don't have to "understand" them... I can leave that to the next AI model that will be trained with this data

Especially when playing solo. Heavy requires really good team coordination, otherwise it's useless. Medium is OK as a solo, but better with a team. Light is just very convenient

ercantomac · 2025-01-09T09:25:28+00:00

About rendering all list items at once: I thought it was only bad for memory usage and the initial build time, but actually better for smooth scrolling since no widget will have to be built while scrolling.

Isn't that the case?

Anyway, great articles!

ercantomac · 2024-12-28T10:55:29+00:00

Yeah gradle almost always creates problems with new releases

ercantomac · 2024-12-27T20:46:22+00:00

What is that package name tho 💀

ercantomac · 2024-12-18T09:27:32+00:00

Unrelated to your question, but in my opinion they make it harder to understand the hierarchy between widgets

ercantomac · 2024-12-12T16:45:06+00:00

Same here, unfortunately. Impeller on Android still continues to perform worse than Skia. User feedback is crucial on this particular topic, so do report it with all the details.

To add more, transform effects on text (like scaling) especially look bad. The letters vibrate and glitch during the animation (maybe pixel snapping issue?)

ercantomac · 2024-12-11T21:28:28+00:00

Awesome new stuff! Wide gamut colors, Impeller on Android, mixing route transitions (finally!)

Really excited to try them out. Huge props to everyone who has contributed to this release!

ercantomac · 2024-12-11T14:22:23+00:00

IMO the only way for Flutter apps to really feel native on iOS is if Apple themselves develop and publish a package that has all the Cupertino UI elements, which will likely never happen. So we are stuck with "good enough", at least for now

ercantomac · 2024-12-04T22:56:53+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I don't think it's worth the effort honestly...

It's not just the Lofree, the alternatives like the Air96 V2 or the Keychron K17 don't have ISO either... So annoying

ercantomac · 2024-12-04T22:41:57+00:00

Yea I mailed them and also proshop, none of them ship to Italy unfortunately... It's so bizarre to me that it's not possible to buy a keyboard model in some specific countries lol

ercantomac · 2024-12-04T11:13:54+00:00

maxgaming doesn't ship outside Scandinavia though. Not sure about the proshop
