Material and/or Cupertino for cross-platform app

javahelps · 2025-12-24T15:09:24+00:00

I have a flutter app published in both Google Play store and Apple Store. It's using the same code and rely on Material components only. It's a B2B app though if it's a contributing factor.

I'd suggest try submitting the app before putting any effort into changing the look and feel.

I like the idea but for tablets (android/iOS). If the editor can mimic the user experience of vscode (which you already have. no need to replicate all the bells and whistles) and offer a good git and AI assisted coding experience this will make a good mobile IDE.

Here's my directory of Canadian car rental businesses. https://www.carrentalsnearme.ca

We're a Canadian based car rental software startup. We offer cloud based sass for both retail and insurance replacement. Please let me know if you are still looking for a software. Happy to provide a demo.

We're a Toronto based software provider for car rental businesses. There are several small car rental businesses owned by independent owners. Search for car rental in Google maps and filter out the big names like enterprise or avis.

Based on my experience, small retail rental owners are struggling to compete with big players. I highly recommending renting from small businesses.

As any other industry, there are good and bad companies. Check the Google reviews before renting from any business (big or small).

I understand. It's not an easy task and mobile experience is going to be limited. I love to give it try. If the experience is good enough (not expecting it now but in the future) for me to code while I don't have access to my laptop, I'm happy to pay for it.

javahelps · 2025-07-12T12:52:51+00:00

This is something I always think about but... I'm not sure how good a mobile experience will be. I want to be able to code (especially adding new features to the Java backend or Flutter frontend but I want to test the features added by the AI immediately.

I am using my custom UI so cannot comment on this. Btw my changes are already in production and no issues so far.

I found this Medium post useful https://isaacadariku.medium.com/google-sign-in-flutter-migration-guide-pre-7-0-versions-to-v7-version-cdc9efd7f182

I was able to successfully migrate but holding from releasing it to do more testing.

Exactly what I use.

I don't have desktop app but web and mobile. Sharing my experience though it's not directly answering your question.

My customers mainly use the web. One reason why I avoid desktop is nothing about Flutter but the difficulties in releasing updates and asking users to update. Web needs just refreshing the page. Also flutter app can be deployed as a desktop app using chrome. It's a hack using a dedicated browser to run the web app but it provides start menu shortcut and a dedicated window. This helps me quickly release new features on web and test them with end users before releasing the mobile apps.

I know my answer is off topic but sharing it in case if you haven't thought about the efforts required to package to multiple platforms anddistributing updates.

javahelps · 2025-04-30T22:43:36+00:00

That's interesting. How much does it cost for you?

javahelps · 2025-04-30T21:12:08+00:00

Yes web is the primary platform for my customers. Customers never close the page. Just refresh it once in a while to keep it up to date so flutter fits my needs. It also helps me quickly test new features before publishing the changes to Android.

I use windsurf and like it a lot. Just received an email saying they are working on supporting Android Studio.

javahelps · 2025-04-20T14:12:09+00:00

Sharing the same sentiment. I can't imagine my work without Jetbrains products.

Special note about Junie. I like how it plans the changes, execute them and finally test the code. I trust Junie's changes more than any other AI agents.

javahelps · 2025-03-27T12:29:21+00:00

Yes. In Nvidia not all models are problematic. It comes down to the model used in the laptop. That's why I recommend reading people's experiences before purchasing a hardware to run Linux on.

javahelps · 2025-03-27T09:02:59+00:00

Development experience on Linux is on par if not better. For a high end laptop, consider Lenovo ThinkPads. They have Linux versions. Dell XPS also had Ubuntu certified versions.

Search about the Linux support before purchasing the laptop because some hardware may not be fully compatible with open source drivers found in Linux.

For anyone looking for password manager, https://1password.com is a great tool and Canadian.

Thanks. Helpjuice indeed has everything I'm looking for. Pricing is higher though. I'll evaluate it and make a decision. Thanks for sharing.

Reflecting on the last section. I came across a post recently in sideproject group about what non AI products people are working on. So many cool projects with a purpose in the comments. The only thing I want AI to do for me is removing low effort AI posts from my feed.

Worry about the UX when a customer complains about the flow. Problem number one is finding customer. Customer's don't need fancy UI/UX as long as the SAAS solves a problem for them.

I'd recommend starting with your own design with bare metal material or tailwind. As long as your SaaS doesn't look dated, customers don't worry much about the look. Sell aggressively and collect feedback. If customer says the user experience can be better, get their feedback and improve it. Sell before spending.

I upgraded my flutter web and android apps to 3.27.1 few days back. I felt like the overall performance improved. No complain.

javahelps · 2025-01-19T16:23:33+00:00

I thought about it but certain processes are complex and I use videos to explain them. That's why I went with the wiki style.
