Multi window support with flutter desktop One of things that flutter currently missesโ€Šโ€”โ€Šmulti window support. Iโ€™ve developed few desktop apps with flutter and made one open sourceโ€ฆ

Didn't really want to sit much in front of computer, but I really wanted to share my knowledge about multi window support using flutter.

Wrote article explaining all aspects and also created example app to show it in action -

Welcome to LLM powered social networks

I had few like this on twitter, eventually banned, since they only do harm your views

Got multi window support to work on flutter/macos

2nd window is actually a NSPopover which acts as top bar menu dropdown

Multi window support in flutter was always its weak point, but with just little bit of digging into internals - its not that easy to achieve

People who use it - they ignore the fact that AI generated text visible right away and that hurts them more than helps

easy engagement and views

twitter was full of these bs products just few months ago, but ppl don't want to understand that they ruin their personal brand using AI responses

Some people say test coverage it overrated

Well, we have different opinion. Literally saves from lots of bugs and issues

Coming closer to updatify.io release and now trying to improve landing page. Here's the new design I'm thinking of

What do you generally think UI feel?

Surely I'll change texting and some icons.

Took weekends off from social networks. Don't feel much rested though, but I don't have much thoughts to post.

Feels like "being in stream" helps to generate post ideas

PS: I have using AI to create posts, so you'll never see it on my page

Spent 30 mins debugging why some styles works on dev but not on prod.

Well, turned out its how vile handle CSS compilation.

In my case had to add this postcss section to get it compiled during assets:precompile step

Continue my work on updatify.io and today added new section where users can configure their project and also get script to install it.

User gets redirected to this page right after creating new "Site"

Yeah, like 3 weeks ago he launched his app.

Many people(car enthusiasts) just wants to look at cars, prices, etc, I do that myself pretty often too

In case of auction - you probably want to bid even when you're not at home(computer)

Made this quick Cars&Bids mobile app prototype, just to find out Doug recently launched his own app.

Well, lesson learned, you gotta be faster showing off something. Had this app gathering dust since August

Fully operational, done with #flutter

Awesome Enumerable method found today.

Returns a hash containing the counts of equal elements

So what's the point of Hotwire Native?

How is it different from phonegap/cordova or any other web view based framework? All of them provided access to hardware APIs + some bridging mechanism to call native APIs(and components)

There are tools like flutter, react native, why making one more?

I regret adding Vue.js to one of my rails apps.

I started it few years ago when turbo wasnt popular and was lacking few features.

Today I would go with Rails + Turbo + Alpinejs.

This stack covers 95% of all possible frontend interaction cases

Few months later he came back with new idea and much bigger budget

26.11.2024 12:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, in this case, if client understands why you skip on some part of work that can really not just save money but also build trust

I had similar case, when client with small budget wanted to try the idea. I put together MVP in just few days(it was mobile app)

He tried and it didnt work. โฌ‡๏ธ
