no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads? Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀

Folks rightly talk and think a lot about what our impulse to be polite to LLMs says about us as human beings. I never thank my laundry machine, yet being overly terse with Gemini or ChatGPT still feels undeniably *wrong*.

✈️🧭 Get ready to chart your course for the future of app development! Next week, we’re launching #FlutterFlightPlans, a content series with updates on Flutter, developer tools, and fantastic apps. Join us for takeoff at 11am PT on November 12.

Going live in 20 minutes 🎥👨

TIL that you can place a type between `required` and `this.varName`: dart.dev/tools/linter...

Listen to my friend!

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Check out the new #FlutterDev extension for Gemini CLI and throw the repo a star to help other Flutter devs find it :)

It's a good day at the office when you have to send your co-worker this message: > sorry for deleting some of your code then asking you where it went Apologies to @codefu.mcdole.org

Dart confession: when I need to add value equality to a simple class but don't yet have pkg:equatable in the project, I grab the necessary boilerplate from pkg:equatable's README (once I have two or three classes with value equality, I add equatable)

I've never been more offended by a headline. "No foul play suspected" ???? What in the actual fuck are they talking about? People do not hang themselves from trees. I hate Trump's America so fucking much. www.mississippifreepress.org/delta-state-...

Dart Frog adding support for Workspaces is a dream come true! 🫡 to @felangel.bsky.social for his continued service to the Dart and Flutter communities github.com/dart-frog-de...

A culture of assassination will completely rot us from the inside out. If we'd gotten the guns off the streets years ago, Charlie Kirk would still be alive.

Due to clerical errors, I won't be able to stream #ObservableFlutter this morning. We should be back on September 18th!

I don't understand the hesitation around acknowledging this. Trump is self-evidently the dumbest person to ever live. There has never been a more broken, insecure, infantile adult. Ever.

After years of using Consolas in my editors, I have recently switched to Fira Code and I am IN LOVE 😍

This joke was topical a month ago, but I officially submit that we refer to accidentally, publicly outing yourself as "Coldplaying yourself"

Stay a while and listen #ObservableFlutter #VideoGameReferences #Diablo

Look what I spotted in Barbados #SocaBrunchtkm

This is a good time to restate the ancient truth that Donald Trump’s accusations are always, every time, without fail, a confession

The America First geniuses managed to send hairdressers and soccer players into a gulag and *import* a triple murderer into the US. Nice work. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

That South Park episode was one of the best things I’ve ever seen

This sentence could come in handy if the Flutter team is ever stranded somewhere and @redbrogdon.dev is parceling out the last of the gruel

I'm interested in a sleep tracker for one specific feature above all else: gentle wake-ups if I drift back into deep sleep near my wake up time. It also can't track my sleep via sound, because I sleep with white noise every night. Anyone have recommendations?

@rodydavis.com introduced me to shadcn and Flutter's implementations, and I've really been enjoying how simple they make constructing functional UIs. If you've not looked at shadcn as a base widget library, now is the time!

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

Keep it secret, keep it safe

Chat with your documentation? 🤔 I'll be showcasing Serverpod's new vector database support at the #FlutterGlobalSummit. Learn how to do retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and how to stream data from your @dart.dev server.

This is what I absolutely love about open source and the community - in less than 24 hours someone shared a first crack at a liquid glass shader on Github: www.shadertoy.com/view/WftXD2 👏 Ran this with Impeller + BackdropFilter, and the results were so fun to experiment with. 🎊

The new Apple’26 designs from #WWDC are so exciting to finally take in. ✨ Similar to Material 3 Expressive, we’re taking a pause on implementing design updates in #Flutter to ensure the next evolution of our Cupertino library is robust and thoughtful. Read more: github.com/flutter/flut...

Does anyone else feel like their purpose on this earth sure seems to be to wake up and listen to ads for Ground News?

I love me some AOC

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

"It's a Yes or No Question"

Talking about Dart Code Metrics tomorrow on #ObservableFlutter

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

I had a lot of fun on today's stream. I almost didn't go live because I didn't have a topic, but then decided to take ideas from chat and roll with whatever we came up with. In the end, it was the most fun I've had on Observable<Flutter> in months. Thanks to everyone who tuned in! #FlutterDev

Get started with @firebase.com Studio 🚀❤️‍🔥 Let me know if you have any questions or feature requests! #FirebaseStudio www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVAu...

In 30 minutes, @labenz.dev will be joining HumpDay Q&A to talk about the latest Flutter release, 3.32 💙

It's Friday, check out what we've been.. feathering 🪶 our nest with this week in #Flutter..

Today's random spam text: > Just found out I read one motivational quote and now I believe I’m unstoppable. 🤦‍♀️ The game is to bait you to reply so they can talk to you, butter you up, and ask for money. Never respond, no matter how strong the urge to say "wtf????"

So therefore the court finds that she does not pose danger to community or present risk of flight. THE COURT ORDERS THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE OZTURK FROM CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY. "Ms. Ozturk is free to return to her home in Massachusetts."

#FlutterDev PSA - I thought I was seeing a rendering bug, or maybe even Impeller bug, because an early frame on iOS took almost 300ms. I tried it in a release build and, voila - no jank. The lesson? Do NOT stress about jank until you see it in profile or release mode.

Dive into our new #DecodingFlutter mini-series, "How Flutter Works", where @labenz.dev talks through the high level architecture of Flutter itself.

The little engines that... maybe could? This and more at the top of the hour 🎉
