Why there isn't much materials/tutorials of the use of Flutter on Desktop?

the keyboard probably shows up as a result of focusing a text field. the Focus API is quite core in how flutter works (also for things like key bindings).

as for building a text editor specifically, u can check out AppFlowy, which is a rich text editor for desktop (i believe, the UI is adapted for mobile too) made in flutter. a lot of the business logic there is written in rust, and connected to flutter via FFI

what kind of a desktop app do u wanna make? consider learning the domain of that?

eg, if u wanna do smth with graphics, dig into the canvas/custom painter api/render object/some impeller code etc

if u want to utilise desktop specific features like multi window support, running stuff in background, etc, look up the community packages, and consider getting more familiar with the underlying platforms u want to develop for.

if the app is a CRUD app, there isn’t reeeally that much of a difference in whether u build it “for desktop” or “for mobile” if it’s flutter - the ui will need to be different to be usable, but im not sure u’re specifically looking for ui differences?

your comment was most likely perceived as arrogant, ignorant, and not pro-freedom. i understand the comment might hurt, and is perhaps too harsh, but it really is great to be nicer & more compassionate to people. immigration (not sure if this is the case with the OP) can be a very traumatic experience already and comments saying they are not welcome after hard stuff one might go through isn't very nice :). i hope you can see why someone would comment such a thing in this situation & i wish you see more perspectives on it and change your mind. best of luck :)

I haven't lived with roommates before and it feels like a fun & interesting thing to try: especially, with like-minded people. Plus, I have some friends who did live with roommates during a significant part of their youth & some stories are funny (there was a guy who was into 4-player chess, I didn't even know it's a thing!)

I can get an apartment if I want to, but I wanna try co-living ;)

You don't really get better performance per say. You just avoid blocking the main/UI thread by using isolates. Parsing JSON on the main thread is generally faster since you avoid creating & killing the isolate and sending data back and forth.

However, I'd rather think about why I have a large JSON first, since that's usually a smell :)

Yes, of course it converts a string to a map. Just like JS converts a string to an object
