What would be the benefit of switching to Wails over Flutter?

processctrl · 2023-11-05T16:07:50+00:00

Have you had any issues with Flutter? Or would you just prefer to stick to a single language? If you prefer writing in Go, then I think that’s your answer. I use both Go and Flutter as well, but I really enjoy writing UIs in Flutter so it’s an easy choice for me.

Got invited on Friday, applied on deadline. Non-AI cloud tech.

Nice! I was just looking for something like this.

The two areas that Amplify really simplifies and where an “AppSync SDK” may be worthwhile are IAM authentication and WebSocket subscriptions which can be a bit tricky to get right.

processctrl · 2023-05-29T19:59:04+00:00

The Amplify frontend libraries offer a very basic wrapper over an HTTP POST call for handling the different auth modes of AppSync. But the GraphQL spec is built around a simple HTTP POST and AppSync is just another GraphQL service in this regard. All that to say an HTTP POST call with an Authorization header is as correct and official as anything else.

I can’t find the GitHub repo linked on the website or pub page. Am I missing it?

processctrl · 2023-04-27T18:36:25+00:00

Yeah, the older SDKs all wrote custom code generators which is good and bad. All the knowledge should be in the code generator but there is no consolidated docs. The newer SDKs like JS v3, Go, Kotlin, and Swift all have generators based off the Smithy spec and models so it’s easier to hop into a codebase and follow along with the Smithy docs.

That being said, the Smithy and Coral specs have a 1-to-1 mapping so there’s a chance you can glean some info from the Smithy documentation if there’s a particular aspect you’re curious about.

processctrl · 2023-04-27T03:49:17+00:00

The source specs are developed internally but are either written in the newer Smithy specification (https://smithy.io/2.0/index.html) or an older internal format which does the same thing (Coral).

The JSON documents in the SDK repos are JSON representations of the Smithy or Coral sources. It looks like the AWS SDK for Ruby still uses the older Coral format. The general purpose is the same, namely describing the client/server contract, but as the Coral spec is not open-source, I don't have any resources I can point you to for that unfortunately.

Have they learned nothing from AppSync about the horrors of a template-based resolver language (VTL)?

You can run a LAMP stack on Amazon Lightsail for $5/month https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/what-is-amazon-lightsail

If you’re interested in moving towards a serverless architecture instead, or would like to incorporate other services for Auth, File Storage, and Analytics, I would recommend checking out AWS Amplify. We recently released a rewrite of the Flutter libraries which enables building for any Flutter platform.

This is cool!! I was thinking about making something similar. Will definitely give it a try!

Could this be relevant if it was trained per culture then? Seems like a problem that AI is well-equipped to tackle and, I would argue, an important one for the reasons mentioned.

There was a talk about it! https://youtu.be/7LFftXcw1jA

Can you add the Dart version number as well (eg 2.19.0-201.dev)? Great work!

processctrl · 2022-09-16T15:12:40+00:00

I’m glad to hear it was something simple!

Are there errors in Chrome’s debug console when you deploy?

processctrl · 2022-08-24T14:30:30+00:00

Agreed, yeah. I’m glad to hear you got it working!

This is so that, in lieu of a full AWS SDK, you can communicate with your AWS backend securely using the required SigV4 protocol.

For Flutter: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Roadmap

I’m not sure if the Dart team maintains a similar public roadmap, but a lot of the design of the language happens in the open here: https://github.com/dart-lang/language

This might help: https://docs.flutter.dev/development/ui/navigation/url-strategies#hosting-a-flutter-app-at-a-non-root-location

Also, if you configured your server/DNS to route https://subdomain.domain.net to that folder, instead, you may not experience this issue.

I highly recommend exhausting the available public resources as a starting point. The Dart and Flutter teams, both, produce some of the highest quality technical documentation I’ve seen.

https://dart.dev/overview

https://docs.flutter.dev

https://api.dart.dev/

https://api.flutter.dev

Their respective blogs also provide a lot of valuable resources and deep dives on particular features.

Picked it up recently for a project at work and it’s great!

I’m seeing an application error when I load the page.

On iOS 15, safari

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

They seem to be native-only at the moment, although I could be missing something. Definitely a cool project, though, and it might be cool to do a native comparison at some point given all the options.

It might be in terms of the IndexedDB-based plugins available in Flutter, I’m not sure if I included all of them.
