I've enjoyed using Riverpod for my Dart/Flutter app framework but I have confused myself on some intricacies of lifecycles of Riverpod providers. I decided to do a detailed walk of the topic for myself and post it for my blog. #flutter #riverpod #DartLang #programming nequalsonelifestyle.com/2024/1…
How have I never heard of this before? Everything I see always uses the MediaQuery.of(context) method. Time to do some big find/replaces #flutter #programming

While my main dev stack, Flutter and Dart, is primarily made by Google shit like this is why I refuse to use their services. I have yet to survive the gauntlet of getting an app in the Play Store. I’m not sure I’ll bother trying ever again. #rant #google #flutter

This Full Stack Flutter conference has been a treasure trove for me and I'm only 2/3 the way through day one. I didn't realize Serverpod came out with a "mini" version so you can publish self-contained services only bundles easily. I didn't realize the Shorebird team basically had Flutter code push for live patching mobile apps in production. I also didn't realize there was a Dart-based static site generator called Static Shock. I've been considering moving off Hugo for my main blog and need to convert another site I have from Jekyll. I think I may dabble with these technologies as my procrastination projects :). #programming #DartLang #flutter
Thanks to the Full Stack Flutter conference I learned that the Compiler Explorer has a Dart support so one can see how their code compiles down to amd64 code. I wanted a tool like this for some time. #programming #DartLang #flutter
I just found out there is a free online Full Stack Flutter (and Dart) developer conference. Archived streams of 2024's conference it are available if you register for 2025's. I know what I'm going to be perusing the next couple weeks #flutter #DartLang #programming

So there is a Flutter conference in the USA next month, FlutterconUSA? That could be an interesting one to attend. It's piggybacking on droidcon #flutter

I spent the afternoon playing around with Codeberg, which runs on Forgejo. It's pretty snazzy. I could see it easily replacing Gitlab for the very pedestrian ways I use it (not a lot of Actions/external integration). Like others it is a bit light on Dart/Flutter features. If I like it enough I could see contributing to update that. I still want to play around with some simulated development workflows. #programming #codeberg #forgejo #DartLang #flutter
I want spell check on #flutter desktop, currently it only supports mobile. I got a Dart Native prototype working by porting the Typo library to Dart and creating a SpellCheckService that uses it. It's far from production grade but a great start. #programming #DartLang

As Kafkaesque as I found the Apple App Store submission/review process, the Google Play store is an order of magnitude worse. It is worse in every dimension, from the Rube Goldberg feel of the whole thing (starting with signing) and on through reviews. #rant #programming #google #android #flutter
One thing I've never been thrilled with with Flutter is the excess depth of code for doing styling and layout things. The Mix Flutter library looks like an interesting solution. I'm going to look into it! Anyone here try it? #flutter #programming

I'm finally at the making pretty pictures part of my Dart/Flutter implementation of the Ray Tracer Challenge. I even have live rendering updates albeit janky as hell. On to world building chapter... #DartLang #Flutter #RayTracerChallenge

I want to create a cross-platform mobile app with notifications and am looking at different options. I'm going to be the only developer, and i've developed on Android previously and am learning JavaScript at the moment. (Here are some notes about the project as a whole: link)
I'm developing on Ubuntu and have access to a Windows computer. MacOS is harder for me to get though. So cross-compiling (or similar) is a bonus, but not a requirement
I've been looking into PWAs during the last week, but from what i can understand it seems they cannot reliably send background notifications when running through Safari on iOS (see table here). We could require that the iOS user install chrome and install the PWA through there, but i think the user experience would be pretty bad then :(
What framework would you recommend that i use?
(Is Flutter a good fit? What about Tauri 2.0? Is there any way to extend PWAs to ensure notifications can be sent at any time?)

I've been in a bit of a developer rut. It's not lack of projects I want to do and can work on. It's more like analysis paralysis on some, death by a thousand cuts aversion on others. So I piss away time on social media. I decided to try to get some dev momentum by picking up something I first tried back in 2020 the last time I got dev writers block: The Ray Tracing Challenge. Back then it was Kotlin and I only got as far as basic ray projection before wrestling with the Cucumber test system and "real work" derailed me. This time I'm going to be trying it in Dart and Flutter. My progress, or lack thereof, will be in this repository with a corresponding plain text developer log. #programming #DartLang #flutter
Does anyone have experience with PWAs (Progressive Web Apps)?
I'm thinking of turning #KindMind into a PWA, so it can be used on the web and on iOS (right now the app is only available on Android)
KindMind on f-droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.sunyata.kindmind/
(A third option could be #flutter)
KindMind doesn't need network connectivity, or notifications. It only have to use local storage to save the relation between - and frequency of - feelings and needs
