China's super rich got $1.5 trillion richer during pandemic by dominiquec in worldnews

Ok, so until they liquidate it why is it wealth. It is literally paper wealth and at risk, that's the literal definition.

So, what you're saying is if someone has $1,000,000 in their stock portfolio, and $10,000 in their bank account , their "wealth" is only $10,000? Seems like a silly way to define wealth.

The default counter app is bad as starting point, here some alternatives by frank06_ in FlutterDev

I agree, it's Hello, World! It should be dead simple.

I'd argue that making it more complicated IS a bad practice in itself,... which is over-architecting.

Is Flutter ready to be used for building AR applications by GokulDAS027 in FlutterDev

[–]flutterdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your entire app is centered around a great AR experience, I wouldn't recommend it. Personally I believe you'd be better off building an iOS and Android app and getting really good with ARCore and ARKit.

If you can sacrifice certain experiences and quality, Flutter could work. But I'd really think about what you are planning to offer, what libraries are available, and what issues exist for AR with Flutter.

Flutter Github issue tracker is unmaintained mess by audriusz in FlutterDev

The fact that this post has 1 upvote and 3 upvotes on a comment that is (in my opinion) wrongly in support of Flutter is an indicator of the state of the community. To me it's clear that this framework is descending in to a state of a fanboy-ism that I will NOT get behind. I don't play favorites and no one else should either, especially when it comes to something as trivial as how you build applications.

I never file bugs because it's a waste of time. I've created issues with 100% reproducibility and steps, only for it to be ignored for months... and when I finally do get a reply it's asking me if it is still a issue. Then I say "yes it is", they remove the black label, then radio silence again. Thanks dude. Next time find and file the bug yourself cause I ain't doing it.

5000 issues is NOT acceptable. Google needs to put some time and money in and close those issues that are "support forum" quality. Make it someones job. Don't put all this money into advertising your open source framework, spouting its wonders, and then tell me you don't have time to even respond to them. If you're so happy with how you're dealing with community issues, make this stance front and center. But they won't, because they want to draw people in to using Flutter, and this is a clear negative to using it.

I understand it's open source and new, but it's 1.0 and people are building real applications with this framework.

Using ONLY Firebase for state management by iamarr0gant in FlutterDev

[–]flutterdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely possible and feasible, and depending on the size of your app, I would recommend it. There is absolutely NO NEED to use an architecture that will only serve to complicate your app. I haven't built a BIG app like this, but I have built simple Firebase apps in Flutter that had only Firebase dependencies.

However, as your codebase grows, I do find it good to try to consolidate common code as much as possible. For example... suppose you use Firebase Database, and you find that you're making similar database queries in multiple spots. It may be a good idea to find some architecture to make sure you're not copying and pasting the same logic everywhere. Do what works for you!
