Does anyone have a hotel recommendation for Fluttercon in Orlando? The convention center is huge, and it looks like you could stay at one of its "official" hotels and still have a twenty minute walk.

I did another video! The thing I learned this week was how to code a set of classes myself to make sure I fully understood them, and then have Gemini create a reusable skill (a set of markdown-formatted instructions and context) that Antigravity could use to auto-create similar stuff when needed.

Jaspr + Riverpod = ๐ jaspr_riverpod is not updated to use Riverpod 3, giving you access to all the latest features. Also, syncing providers is now even easier. Think "fullstack providers" that you compute on the server (e.g. load from db) and read on the client after pageload.
