Google, as a company, is still using Flutter in its own applications. One recent example is YouTube Create, which is a video editor application for YouTube.

Google Trends shows Flutter at an all time high, but more flat since 2023.

Other technologies like React Native and Kotlin are slightly down.

My guess is that AI chatbots have slowed down everything on Google Trends

As an employee, I thought mission statements were cringey and stupid.

As a founder, I realized they are the most important part of a business.

My only goal in life: Live every moment of it intentionally.

Does anybody else find macOS 26 feels kinda childish?

- the corners are too round
- the buttons are way bigger
- usability not better

It feels like this design was made to be more dopamine-inducing than productive

It's wayyyyy easier to refactor a working product than to make a well architected product work.

We are adding a roadmap to our changelog so you can see what we are working on. What do you like better?

1️⃣ Kanban
2️⃣ Only the In Progress (less clutter)

Also surprise! We are working on a Dart course!

We added a changelog, and I think it's the nicest changelog I've ever seen.

What do you think?

Pretty crazy that we went from a computer filling a room to a thin little device.

And fundamentally, they both work the same way. Little transistors turning ON and OFF.

I'm calling this Sep-Dec season "The Great Lock In of Q4 2025".

If all goes well, history books will write about this period.

The first weekend of the Sep-Dec Lock In was an overhaul of the site to have a cohesive brand and professional look and feel.

Now the entire site follows the design style I call: "Modern Analog".

I couldn't be prouder. It feels like the site is becoming an extension of us.

In 1 generation, we went from my dad having to work night shift after school since he was 8, to me building a worldwide educational platform full-time

I worked my ass off to get here, but I owe my parents everything because they got us 0 to 1. I just kept it going

finally updated our logo to match the stroke of the text, ready for the MRR inflection point now

I feel like I've been lost in the sauce for the past year, and never got to fully appreciate what an absolute pleasure it is to be doing what I am doing on a daily basis.

I need to be humbled. If you are a UI designer, roast these docs

This phone is the perfect example of product-market fit

- I dont really like the people/company that made it
- It’s full of annoying bugs

And I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

What are your favorite docs sites?

Oh man, it's happening. Launching our next product in 24 hours!

It's our first not-directly-flutter-related product. It's related to backend dev, and it's a topic that's been the scariest in development for me.
