Finally got time to watch Flutter Forward. I haven't been this excited about a tech event this much. And they delivered. What flutter is doing is genuinely mind blowing! 🤯👏🔥
Okay so one thing I hate about Flutter: It doesn't support dynamic code loading.
So when I started Philomena, my all in one social app, I planned to make it as extensible and as component based as I could.
I wanted to build an extension store inside of it and allow devs to build entire apps and extensions and publish to that store. So for example one dev could build an entire music player and publish to the store and any user can install that and then BAM Philomena can now stream your favorite songs.
But that turns out is relatively improbable to build with ease and efficiency. And so I went on building every app I needed.
Thing is you can do something like this
type: Row children: - type: Container color: red child: - type: Text 0: hello world
And WRITE a function that deserializes it and produce thise:
I'm now almost done migrating Scholarxiv (🥲) from Svelte 4 to 5 and my God I'm loving programming all over again. Svelte is just bae.
Quick Advice: If you're so tired of web programming try Svelte, if you're tired of API programming try HonoJS, if you're tired of mobile programming try Flutter, If you're tired of CLI apps try Go. All of these will make you love programming all over again.
When I won the best flutter app of the year, I instantly got access to Hungrimind, which's a $200 interactive, beginner to advanced flutter course.
I thought it would be just another course platform at first when I saw the videos and stuff but then Tadas gave me access to their newest version, boy was I wrong.
This is the absolute peak flutter experience. It's the most straightforward and most advanced flutter learning platform out there.
The reason is that there's a built in flutter renderer. So you can practice building the apps live while you're learning while the servers handle building and compiling it for you.
