Cross-platform technologies such as Flutter or React Native are so bad if you want to develop something more complex than a to-do list. I finally gave up and started learning Swift. My camera app with real-time filters using a shader on Flutter takes up between 500 MB and 1 GB

Experimenting with ImageFilter.shader to implement progressive blur in flutter. Too bad it works only in impeller, because impeller on macOS renders fonts very strangely

I think it is also possible to make smooth and good animation on Flutter like on SwiftUI.

defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true

Now, you can move windows by holding ctrl+cmd and dragging any part of the window (not necessarily the window title)

Comma - a note-taking app that uses iCloud to sync files with markdown like Obsidian

This is still in the early stages of development and various bugs may occur

Here are some more beta invites, more soon. testflight.apple.com/join/kpuaDgfa

To achieve a more native iOS look in Flutter, swap regular border radius for squircle corners using figma_squircle or cupertino_rrect packages! 📱✨

There is some code snippets that will help you improve flutter inputs on ios. You can already use those native toolbars. It looks better, and you don't have the annoying insert permission popup.
