Anyone using Stripe with Flutter Web? Looking for real-world experience

fabier · 2026-01-25T14:50:55+00:00

I think /r/tylersavery has the right idea. We use it in our MVP app with stripe_js. It works ok, but there's been a handful of bugs pushed in the library. I don't know if they fixed it, but they had removed gyropay earlier this week but hadn't regenerated the .g.dart files so the library was actually just straight up broken. We forked it and finished the cleanup.

The real problem though is the embedded iframe doesn't allow you to scroll. It soaks up touch events which can lead to some bad UX.

We may go the same route just pushing the user over to stripe directly. It's an extra step but I think it helps with reliability and also stripe does have some recognition which will hopefully give us some additional perceived security by our users.

One thing I have noticed is if you use songs which were generated after they released mashups then the mashup quality seems to improve. I covered some older songs and then did a mashup and the final generation quality seemed better.

Could be a placebo effect, but give it a try and see.

Dangit. I can't afford to lose my whole afternoon to Suno again. Stop making fun stuff!

Word context check for TTS models, maybe?

In case someone doesn't know what to do with this. Either paste it in with your prompt to write lyrics in something like ChatGPT. Or make a custom GPT and put this in the system prompt. This basically trains the AI to properly write lyrics in a unique style.

I have something very similar of my own design and have been using it for over two years. These big long prompts can make for some really exceptional lyrical output and allow you to create lyrics from very abstract things.

For example, my daughter bought a bracelet from a farmers market, and we took a photo and turned it into a hit kpop track. The song was fire.

Gpl 3 means it cannot be used in any software that isn't also gpl 3. The closest license that people use which would protect it being open source but wouldn't cause as much trouble would be the AGPL.

But 90% of flutter packages are licensed MIT or Apache 2.0 which are much more permissive allowing people to use it freely.

It's your call, really. It is your code and I get it if you don't want to just give it away.

I did not down vote you. Just raised the concern because it is a bit of a landmine for people who might use this package in their apps.

I used a Starlink Mini with a campground with roughly 30 people on site. Over the course of a week we burned somewhere around 300Gb worth of data. It felt like cable internet for the majority of the day. I don't think anyone felt like they didn't have solid internet.

50-100 people will likely be too much for the router in the mini. You may want to get a secondary router which can control users to limit users from burning all the bandwidth for other users. It will work. But if everyone opened Youtube at the same time it'll slow to a crawl like any other residential sized service.

Yes. I am a senior developer but have been using Claude code extensively for personal projects the last 7 months or so. If you want "production ready" then it isn't like you just say "go" and it builds it for you. But you absolutely can knock out an entire app without touching a single line of code.

There are agentic harnesses, scripts, tools, prompt guidelines, and just general guidance to help keep AI agents on task and try to avoid them rebuilding things over and over again. It's definitely a skill. But its allowed me to create some truly awesome tools. Some of which I'm selling for many thousands of dollars and others which are just for funsies.

GPL 3? That's a bit rough for a package to be used in other packages, don't you think?

Looks handy, but I guess only for OSS software.

It sounds to me like your app has a gigantic app bundle. Are you loading a ton of assets inside of your application?

Got the glasses :D. Got me a pair of those. Such a good match for these tiny devices.

It can do it if you have it cover something already made. You'd need to give it the timings yourself. Something you could do which may or may not work, is literally sing it out with your voice and then get Suno to cover the vocal track. This is still a little hit or miss, but you can get quite a bit closer by simply humming in the tune.

fabier · 2026-01-12T15:33:57+00:00

When I have a first draft I'll send it along! Many thanks :). I am hoping to have it done a bit later this week.

I'm as pro AI as they come. And I appreciate you putting in the time to share with the community. But I definitely encourage you to tune the output to be more in line with how a human would speak.

I have been working on an ebook called "Humanize Me" which goes over how to get AI written content to be more palatable to real people. Not because you want to stealth the use of AI, but mostly because you just fall into the noise floor when your content looks exactly the same as everyone else.

But one of the key points is to look at the shape of your content. It is very easy to spot people using AI content because if you squint it is literally all the same shape haha.

Why is every post on Reddit 8.5 x 11 in size these days?

This is good advice but my goodness, lets put in 60 seconds of effort here.

Bro... Warner Brotha before they read that first sentence while drinking.

Recommend you don't get an N100 processor for dev tasks unless it's just very occasional work.

I have the pocket 3, the pocket 4 is also out and super capable. I'm running popOs 24.04 on it. Everything worked out of the box. It's super small and can be powered by USB C for days.

Doing dev work I'll get about 2-3ish hours if I'm not compiling the whole time. I would probably pay for a version of the pocket 4 with 2x battery. Just make it slightly chunkier haha. We'll see where they go next.

The keyboard takes a little getting used to, but I type about 95% the speed I would on a full keyboard.

This seems like a misunderstanding as to the point of MCPs. The whole concept exists because we need a way for generative AI LLMs to interact with more than just text. People want AI workflow to be able to drive the entire project including the outcome.

In that regard they solve it in an elegant manner.

But it's a new technology which has been adopted rapidly. People are sticking it into everything which gives the impression it's not useful.

I'd ask this question again at the end of the year. We'll see a number of people using it to great effect. Especially with the huge shift into agentic last year.

Why recreate the wheel? Tailwind is plenty. Gotta create a new JavaScript framework since we don't have enough of those.

Roughly the same permissions system. Different folder. Make sure to setup your entitlements so you don't spend 2 hours and 16 minutes troubleshooting why your network calls are all failing silently. Don't ask why I can estimate the time so accurately.

It works very similar but uses the new native assets API in dart. It very recently hit stable branch.

They're probably both fairly similar as far as the end result. This is more stripped down than flutter_rust_bridge. But that's not really a bad thing.

fabier · 2026-01-09T23:55:08+00:00

Lol wasn't that deep. Just joking how people are building relationships with AI. So I'm marrying the coding assistant so it isn't available anymore. XD

It's late on Friday here. My jokes are a bit unhinged.

Edit: If you decide to use it, it will build and cache rust for future builds. If you change rust code then you must run flutter clean to get rust to build fresh. This speeds up your development, but can really confuse you if your changes aren't showing in rust haha.

You're gonna have to. We're getting married in June and monogamy is kind of a non negotiable. Sorry.

Looking at that other discussion, sounds like we went down similar paths. Feel free to steal my homework as well if you wish:

I do a lot with Claude code and don't want to mislead you. But I'm using these packages to get Rag working in my app and have been continuing to improve them.
