hi

Checking back to see if anyone started posting here yet. Seems a bit more dead every time I come back.

Flutter is trending today. All the AI startups need cross platform tooling.

shadcn-ui #99 update Released the v0.17.3 - FIX: `ShadTable` protect `onExit` from setting value after dispose (thanks to @jezell.bsky.social)

Still pretty quiet on the blue app.

shadcn-ui #96 update Released the v0.16.3 - FEAT: Add `ShadInputOTP` and `ShadInputOTPFormField` components. - BREAKING CHANGE: The `ShadBorder` no longer has default values, if you want to see the border rendered provide a color and a width greater than 0.

The #flutter tree is merged and open again. Thank you to all that helped out! github.com/flutter/flut...

Hmm... what's this: github.com/loic-sharma/... Maybe it's that thing everyone is talking about? 🤣

GG

A sign of the times

Love seeing a flurry of monorepo related commits coming through the flutter notifications.

Flutter Space time x.com/i/spaces/1Ow...

Flutter AI SDK sucks. Do better. If anyone thinks this is gonna make people use Flutter for AI, they are smoking something. Next.JS vs Flutter samples: Official Javascript Chatbot Sample (NextJS): minimal-chatbot.vercel.app Official Flutter Chatbot Sample: flutter-ai-toolkit-examp-60bad.web.app

Lies. Flutter crashes on Ultrawide high resolution displays. It also doesn't support VisionOS or AndroidXR. I wish this were true, but it's so far from the truth that it's embarrassing.

Engine is now part of the #Flutter monorepo groups.google.com/g/flutter-an... #FlutterDev

This is the best thing to happen to Flutter this year.

How to use late final to write less code.

here we go again (I will now do this every 2 months on ~16th): reply to this tweet to AMA about @dart.dev or complain about anything @dart.dev related. I will do my best to reply.

I keep saying the shift from "per app" to "per human" pricing is coming soon. OpenAI has now confirmed it:

2 years into Flutter, I know where all the dead bodies are. Really impressive how fast you can build when you know how to avoid them.

Meanwhile Google should know better since they spend millions of dollars on Flutter.

Another release from OpenAI with no mobile story. OpenAI needs to discover Flutter.

OpenAI's o1-pro model reviews the Flutter Widget Preview proposal: Why this approach is problematic gist.github.com/jezell/8a56f... The review starts: "Over-Complex Architecture..." Read on for some of the reasons this approach is lame.

Seems like agent fever is building. 2025 is gonna be a massive year for AI agents.

Happy 5th day of OpenAI

A day which shall live in infamy. Thank you to @munificent.bsky.social and all who did the hard work to get here!

Been working on extracting a lot of the lessons we've learned building agents into a framework / platform that solves a lot of practical challenges around building agents that can interact with multiple users (or agents) over multimodal channels (more than just voice + text). MVP incoming...

o1-pro test, asked to fix a random bug from flutter repo: github.com/flutter/flut... Its response: gist.github.com/jezell/58449...

O1-pro test prompt: "Give me instructions to change flutter to use Skia Graphite". Honestly impressive that it can even make this much sense of the query: gist.github.com/jezell/ea519...

Asked o1 pro to make a Flutter Widget that can parse a sample json blob I gave it and then render slides. This is what it came up with after asking it to refine the sample to use a data class instead of the json map directly: gist.github.com/jezell/a40a8...

⚠️ Flutter's HTML renderer is going away, so make sure you are using the default, higher-fidelity CanvasKit renderer. You can also try the new Skia-Wasm (Skwasm) renderer using the --wasm flag! Details here: github.com/flutter/flut...

Flutter + AI Space kicking off: x.com/i/spaces/1Ow...

For whatever reason I wrote a long response to the "Google needs to invest more in Flutter" Reddit post tonight 🤷 TL;DR I'm very grateful for what Google has done & is doing and think the rest of us outside Google could (and will!) do more. www.reddit.com/r/FlutterDev...

JS <-> Python <-> Dart CRDTs. Let's go! Some polish, then maybe add .NET.

Python vs Dart for CRDT sync. Fairly similar.

First passing tests for CRTD -> Dart -> Python -> Dart flow. Looks like this is gonna work.

Getting requests to add .NET to the list of supported clients for agent docs solution... why not. Model makes it easy to support new ones.

agent docs prototype has end to end CRDT flow working in python over websocket protocol. probably have dart and js protocol working by end of day. thanksgiving break was a success.

Did you know that you can track referrer information for your Flutter app, if it was launched via deeplink from a browser? It can be done with pub.dev/packages/ref...

There aren't enough characters supported by this app to do a proper rant. Gonna have to keep the good stuff on X till this app grows up a bit.

I am here :)

Working on a cross platform CRTD powered stack for agents. Prototyping Dart / JS / Python this weekend.

It has been almost a decade and I still don’t use a single PWA on any of my desktops where there is no lack of browser choice. But I have dozens of Electron apps on heavy rotation. I wish each of those was a PWA app, but it’s running into the harsh reality that it ain’t easy, good or desired.

The push for Flutter/Dart packages to support Swift Package Manager landed on pub.dev recently. 💙 Swift (pun intended 😱) upgrades are appreciated, as it'll make the Firebase SDK releases process much simpler. 🔥

So the switching is real....

This thing has come a long way since I last tried it. Surprised how many people have accounts now.
