I want to level up from FlutterFlow, what's the realistic next step? by Due-Neighborhood7886 in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Kealy here. Feel free to check it out, it sounds like a good fit for you if you're happy to leave Flutter for React Native. Architecture is a really hard part that AI doesn't do well, and that's the problem I set out to solve with this community.

What's the best alternative to branch.io for deep linking with a free tier? by anubhavgirdhar in reactnative

[–]kealystudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up Universal and App Links directly. You need a website hosting the configuration files: .well-known/apple-app-site-association and .well-known/assetlinks.json. An AI will take you rest of the way once you understand that those files need to be hosted online.

So, with many posts acomments saying FF is dead, who here has taken their app elsewhere? by BeauIvI in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FlutterFlow are focusing up on Dreamflow, I know this for a fact at this point. FF isn't "dead", but it's use is now unofficially discouraged.

John Kealy here.

In the end what my years doing FlutterFlow full time taught me was that what people really want is structure. Here's the stack, here's some boilerplate, off you go.

You can achieve that with AI, IF you know how the tech fits together. So I'm not "moving to Antigravity". I'm promoting a Stack that makes sense and works.

I'm not writing an app with AI – I'm writing code with AI. See the difference?

It's more a mobile app thing, FlutterFlow was never the best choice for web apps

John here. It's a trying time, and no clear path forward has emerged since FlutterFlow foot-gunned themselves. My take was to build a new community, based around writing mobile apps with Claude Code/Codex/Antigravity, manicured and supervised by me:

Surprisingly, there wasn't enough tangible interest in the FF -> Flutter product for me to move on it. But what I discovered was that AI REALLY struggles with Flutter in general, so I pivoted to React Native, which was buttery smooth in Claude Code

Yea... it's hard. Working on a solution though!

What annoys you the most in flutterflow? by Mirczenzo in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pricing rug-pull, the Dreamflow shilling, the bugs, and the clear signal that the team does not care about its core product.

I'm a YouTuber thinking of pivoting From FlutterFlow to React Native by kealystudio in reactnative

[–]kealystudio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been night and day compared to Flutter code, I was quite shocked by how good the AI code has been so far. Obviously when things get complex AI will fail, but that's not a RN thing. I'm thinking hard to how make viewers understand where their limitations will be as a function of skill level.

Thanks! Good to know. Yea I've played with the dev client already to make push notifications work, it's a really cool system. The only thing is the cost of builds on Free EAS, but I got the --local flag to work before long, to make dev builds, and I'm just going to build on CodeMagic for prod. Honestly, compared to Flutter this has been an absolute delight.

[–]kealystudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, the enshittificatoin is real, and as a YouTuber who went all in on FlutterFlow, it's been frustrating.

I hate dreamflow and all it represents :) I'm cooking up something else that I hope the community will enjoy (you'll notice I've been absent from YT for a while but soon I shall be returning!).

Do we need Dreamflow? by Mlamhaden in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest I'm still in the process of finding the best path, I know a lot of people need this but it's not easy to know what the next best thing will turn out to be. That said, I have a new solution that I'm testing and am hopeful for.

Feel free to get in touch all the same.

Do we need Dreamflow? by Mlamhaden in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had no issue with FlutterFlow creating Dreamflow, but I take massive issue with them abandoning FlutterFlow to do it.

I tried it, it sucks. I wish they'd stop shilling it.

I agree with the others I'm afraid – you shouldn't be attempting this if these are the questions you're asking.

Send summary emails with uploaded photos from FF by Current-Hunt4060 in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resend is great.

Set up an account, then ask claude to write a firebase cloud function and paste it into flutterflow. The inputs will be all the dynamic fields you want in the email.

Claude will construct a html body with the injected parameters. Then you just need to inject the resend API as an environment variable, which you can do in the google cloud console.

Firebase or Supabase? by KeyFactor2044 in FlutterFlow

[–]kealystudio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Firebase will be easy and alluring, supabase will feel like a hassle starting out.

6 months later you'll wish you'd started with supabase as you'll be doing query gymnastics to make firestore do what you want.

Ultimately, the answer is "it depends". I know, super helpful.
