Came back here a bit, went to AppStore to get the app again for my iPad and I still get this garbage, why @bsky.app?

Theming #GoogleDesign #Material3 Chips in #FlutterDev is quite limited, I would even call it broken, as is theming of many other M3 components that have variant styles. Read more about these #Flutter issues here: 🙂💙

When can we add bookmarks that we can ignore? 😅💙

Everything is just shifted down one step below 1.0.0 and pub import resolution uses that as well. Kind of logically consistent, but not same as original Semver contract, where anything goes while below 1.0.0 dart.dev/tools/pub/ve...

Did a random test of the Themes Playground and WASM build with #FlutterDev 3.29. I noticed it performed much better than before, but that the improvement came via updates to the Chromium engine, as using an older version was still as poor as before.

And the number of #FlutterDev hot fixes per stable release
February 14, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Just the cycle time in months between #FlutterDev releases in one chart
February 14, 2025 at 3:26 PM
The other day I was wondering how long the intervals between #FlutterDev stable releases are and how many hot fixes there have been per stable release?

Hotfixes avg 4.6/release
Cycle avg 3.1 months

Source: docs.flutter.dev/release/arch...
Note: Uncertain about hot fix data before v1.17

Even more 1st party #FlutterDev packages to be discontinued.

Seems like maintenance mode on GoRouter was just the start of sizing down the package maintenance burden. Even more to come? 🤷‍♂️🙂💙

To be discontinued #FlutterDev 1st party package: flutter_markdown pub.dev/packages/flu... ouch, maybe?🤨 Hope you were not using it. Thoughts? 🤔💙

Noticed this a while ago at work and with FlexColorScheme and Themes Playground, #FlutterDev 3.27 broke color styling and theming of #Material buttons with icons, see issue here github.com/flutter/flut...

Why is @bsky.app still ridiculous on iPad?
January 30, 2025 at 9:12 PM
Interesting @flutter.dev WEB bug with the newer KeyboardListener APIs that replace RawKeyboardListener APIs, the KeyUpEvents do not come when multiple keys are pressed, this kills typical game control usage on Web. Webber
@jezell.bsky.social and Flame engine @spydon.dev, have you seen this?

Why do both Claude and Deepseek R1 believe there is a FlutterVersion class to show what ver a #FlutterDev app was built with? 😅 And why the freck is there not one? Still no other way of doing it than via an env var in a build script? This one is not good enough pub.dev/packages/dar...

I see @flutter.dev and opinionated #Material3 is getting a lot of pushback in #Flutter community, on X/Twitter at least. Understandably, but you can theme it to be less opinionated. Sure, not everything, it is still M3, but works well for most cases. Have you tried it? 😉💙 rydmike.com/flexcolorsch...

They are all lining up to kiss the proverbial ring and paying millions in support, for benefits. There are even dark humor posts on X about it, which at least gives some hope. x.com/Thunder_Owl/... pic of the post content added if you no longer have an X account. 🤷‍♂️🙂

Platform owner has his agenda, I don't share his views, but there are a lot of wonderful people there and generally the reach is much higher. Most devs don't care about US politics and leave it alone. Btw, should being inclusive not also include, including those with different views? 🤔 Oh well...🤷‍♂️🙂

Trending #FlutterDev topic over on the place where the real #Flutter action is, X/Twitter. With a fun video to boost it x.com/luke_pighett... You can read more about it here github.com/flutter/flut...

Flutter 3.24.5 web: Hey #Flutter web dev!
Flutter 3.27.1 web: Hey #FlutterDev, it is black Friday! Right?

Apparently it is until the existing cherry picked fix for issue github.com/flutter/flut... lands as a hot fix! 😅😱💙
January 13, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Let's hope it will get bug fixes. Last fix is soon 2 months ago (Nov 22), before that two features Nov, 13 and 18. All other commits after that are pure maintenance chore, no real fixes. Also, in issues some bug-issues may have been reclassified as "new feature requests" 🤷‍♂️🙂 x.com/RydMike/stat...

Christmas 🎄 tree take down time, had a very crooked tree this year! Sign of the times? 🤔😄
The small trunk, I saw into pieces and use them later as fire 🔥 wood in the sauna! 😅

Experimenting with adding the #Shadcn standard color schemes to #FlutterDev #FlexColorScheme plus a selectable premade config that configures Material-3 to be "Shadcn like" and inspired. Need to add some more props in FCS to get a bit closer for some widgets, where doable 🤷‍♂️🙂💙
