Hey, folks! The Flutter team is doing a livestream next week, which will include a Q&A. Anything you'd like to ask the engineering, DevRel, and product leads?

Questions about the roadmap, new features, the craziest place they've seen someone get Flutter running, all of these are valid topics. 😀

I know people are probably sick of vibe coding content at this point, but I do think it's cool to see a Google VP building stuff on YT! www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1KA...

Want your website footer to look as cool as the official dart.dev website? ✨

Add the new "Built with Jaspr" badge with only 1 line of code. Available as "JasprBadge.light()" and ".dark()" in the latest Jaspr release!

Jaspr + Riverpod = 💙

jaspr_riverpod is not updated to use Riverpod 3, giving you access to all the latest features.

Also, syncing providers is now even easier. Think "fullstack providers" that you compute on the server (e.g. load from db) and read on the client after pageload.

📣 I published a new Jaspr pre-release with big improvements!

Writing Jaspr components is now even easier and more Flutter-like, the framework core is further optimized and more performant, and I added a 'jaspr migrate' command that automatically migrate all breaking changes. 👇

Today I learned a neat #Dart trick for running multiple async operations in parallel.

I used to rely on 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁(), but that meant:
• Casting results manually (𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘈, 𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘉 … 😩)
• The logic depended on the order of operations (easy to break, especially with LLMs 😅).

I was impressed by this, and then I saw that they'd embedded a running version of the app into the article, and I immediately started showing it to everyone nearby. 🤩

I've been experimenting with Gemini CLI and figuring out which tasks I can legit offload to it. My latest attempt is an automated report each weekday that summarizes PR merges in a list of Dart/Flutter repos. Not perfect, but it's helping me keep up with what's up. :)

Think Dart annotations stop at @override and @deprecated? 🤔

@foxanna.bsky.social will show how custom annotations can document code, trigger analyzer warnings, and even power code generators — boosting developer experience and maintainability.
