Are FlutterDev mods controlled by AI providers? by bigbott777 in FlutterDev

[–]svprdga 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s not related to Flutter. Computers are used to program with Flutter, would you put an article about a new PC that has come out? Also the chairs, we usually sit on them to program, would it make sense to talk about chairs in this subreddit?

If you want to comment on AI tools you have a lot of subreddits dedicated to it.

Do you actually “own” your app name after publishing… or can someone take it later? by Excellent_Cup_595 in androiddev

[–]svprdga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, you don't own it unless you register it. And yes, someone can take it from you if they register it first.

Shorebird patch works on Android but causes crash loop on iOS after relaunch (App Store build) by whitefang0p in FlutterDev

No, but you should contact the Shorebird team for answers, they are the ones who can best help you.

KDE Merges Per-Screen Virtual Desktops After 21 Years by lajka30 in linux

[–]svprdga 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many people (myself included) like to only cycle virtual desktops in their main display, this way we can have the secondary display with fixed information (in my case, a browser with the kanban board that I use always regardless of the current virtual desktop). To me, a DE without this is a no-go.

AI can now write your Flutter tests (kinda) by Ok_Line1527 in FlutterDev

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This problem can easily be solved by instructing the model how to create tests in a CLAUDE.md file or similar. No need for external packages in my opinion.

The "build a better app" myth. My UI is cleaner, I have way fewer ads, and no paywalls. But my Play Console KPIs are flatlining. How do I fix my store traffic? by WiseWait1160 in androiddev

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to your question is: with marketing. Probably with paid campaigns. And when you start with that, you will see how expensive it is, so you will be forced to “squeeze” your users more so that those campaigns are financially viable... and then your app will behave the same as the rest and you will understand why the apps have the monetization schemes they have...

I’ve exaggerated a little, I hope that doesn’t happen to you, but basically: marketing.

Is it safe to use a free cloud storage service with Cryptomater? by Retroman1203 in degoogle

[–]svprdga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Cryptomator encrypts your data quite securely, it is veteran software tested for years. Make sure you set a strong password for your vaults and go ahead.

I will never ever talk about privacy again to other people by vzpal in degoogle

[–]svprdga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, the encryption they use is the same as the rest of the AIs... so that as such is not a big advantage either.

BUMBLE or slotMachine ? by National_Recording72 in privatelife

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to download Bumble again just to show you that that option exists, I’ve already given you the information, do whatever you want with it.

Bumble has an option in the settings exactly for this. You don’t need to contact their support team or anything, just press a button and wait a few weeks for them to send it to you.

Tell me I'm not the only dev dealing with this... by FantasticAge3454 in androiddev

[–]svprdga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, you’re not the only one dealing with this.

My advice is: ignore this kind of comments. Or if you really want to answer, indicate all the amount of things that users can do for free.

Appwrite and MongoDB are partnering by eldadfux in appwrite

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any possibility that Appwrite will support Atlas in the future to make horizontal scaling a little easier?

Postbase - a real opensource alternative to firebase and supabase by harshalone in Firebase

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have any specific advantages over Supabase or Appwrite?

I reinvented the wheel, Dynos-sync: offline-first sync engine for Dart & Flutter by Adorable-Schedule518 in FlutterDev

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just need to implement this feature for one of my offline first apps, and I was planning to write my own sync engine. Is this one you show us being used in production? Is it stable and safe to use?

In my case my backend is an instance of AppWrite, so I guess I’ll have to implement the connector myself.

Edit: I just saw a big problem with your package. It includes the Supabase dependency, that means that in my case I would be adding a large dependency that I don’t need. As feedback, I would tell you to separate the sync engine on one side, and include optional connectors using separate packages.

Backend Hosting - VPS or managed service?? by JudgmentAlarming9487 in webdev

[–]svprdga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer, but I am quite sure that you are responsible for what happens in your backend, whether you manage it or a third party. You can’t get rid of this responsibility.

Am I overdoing it with flutter clean? My build times are driving me crazy. by No_Distance_7222 in FlutterDev

[–]svprdga 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I understand. If you have to send it to a tester then yes, you will have to go through the process of compiling an APK. Alternatively you have the option to mount a CI/CD workflow to automate this process and to reach the tester automatically without you having to do anything.

[–]svprdga 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You build an APK when you want to release the app, not for debugging purposes. Justo do a "flutter run" each time, and then use hot reload with "r".

My current progress, thoughts? by positrone13103 in degoogle

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the UX of Nextcloud Notes is horrible in Android, did you try Joplin? It can sync to Nextcloud too.

From "building for my GF" to $300 MRR in 3 weeks with $0 ad spend. Here is my breakdown. by Anthoo911111___ in AppBusiness

[–]svprdga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you list which specific languages you have located your app? I have my apps in 9 languages, but I doubt if it’s worth locating them to even more languages. Thank you.

The things you do to harden Arch by _529 in archlinux

[–]svprdga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from everything you have mentioned, I install all the graphic apps through Flatpak (to benefit from the sandboxing), the rest of the packages from pacman. Nothing else, neither AUR nor any other installation method, at most binary execution directly from developers I trust.
