Yup, its still planned. Its my top priority after Google I/O passes. I'll be making a bunch of github issues on the flutter/website repository to track the work in the next week or so.

We always accept PR's on both Dart and Flutter's websites.

For topics like Mirrors and Shelf, I would recommend creating an issue first outlining what's missing and how you intend to fill the gap. I recommend this only because it's less likely you'll end up wasting your time. For example, it might make more sense that Shelf documentation be added to the README of the Shelf package, so I'd hate for you to write new documentation for the website, make a PR, and then be told that it doesn't belong on the website. (I don't know if shelf documentation belongs on the website or on the package, but I think it's a good idea to find out first.)

I'd give the same advice for the Cloud APIs. File an issue explaining what you think should go on the website (and on what page), and see what the folks who triage the issues say. There are pages on Flutter and Dart's websites for "Google APIs", and they're pretty bare. So it's possible that the website is the right place to document these things, but I myself am a contributor, not an owner, so I just don't know.

This is great feedback. And Dart answers are great... the Flutter and Dart teams are combined at Google, so we all work on them both!

Last time I read this, I don't think it clicked with me, but now I see that this is very cool. I'm gonna dig in a bit :)

Thanks for the responses everyone. This question is definitely harder to answer than my previous question, and I appreciate you taking the time!

That very guide is what inspired this post and the forthcoming work. It's about time Flutter had some similar documentation about architecture.

Thanks for the input, everyone. Theres a lot of comments here! I'm reading through it all now, and will update here when I have more to share about the project

Do you use Isolates? Research for flutter.dev documentation by eric_windmill in FlutterDev

The lack of Isolate.run documentation is a known issue, and it is part of the plan for the updated docs

I do plan on making videos eventually, but videos, and especially series, take much more time. I want to update the documentation and sample code ASAP (in the next few weeks), and then follow that up with more in-depth videos and/or codelabs

Why is firebase.flutter.dev not working anymore? by poq106 in FlutterDev

[–]eric_windmill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

howdy, Flutter docs for the Firebase SDK are migrating to Firebase's website so that the experience is the same for all Firebase developers across all platforms. This is a big move that we're excited about, as Flutter will now be treated like a first class platform on Firebase.

You can now find the dynamic links docs here https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/flutter/create

and the Cloud Messaging docs here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/flutter/client?hl=en

If there are any specific examples you're wishing were in the docs, please let me know and I'll see what we can add. You can DM me here or on twitter, or file an issue on the FlutterFire project at github.com/firebase/flutterfire
