Flutter accessibility experts: How i can stop the AppBar back button being the first focused and announced widget on a page? Seems like bad UX for accessibility users.

Anyone else having issues with Flutter 3.35 bundling assets from packages? It seems if a package is a dependency override, the assets no longer get bundled... github.com/flutter/flut...

I'm going to miss being able to force multi-line formatting using a trailing comma, but otherwise this release looks great!

Started using Cursor this week. Not liking VS Code but Cursor Composer can give some great results. Still need to dive into cursorrules and tweak my workflow. Really looking forward to @jetbrains.com Junie to get the same thing in Intellij!

Spent the morning rewriting a polling function that used Timer/Completer/Future into a much nicer version using Stream.periodic. It turns out Stream.periodic is essentially impossible to test via Flutter Widget tests 😭 Darts async features really need a lot of work.

My last day of holiday and I've finally started a new side project 🎉 Using Dart for the backend deployed via Cloud Run. Excited to see how it turns how with the whole stack in Dart.

A bit of holiday baking today

Anyone have app recommendations for teaching a 3 year old to read? Duolingo ABC is ok but looking for more options

Last day of work for year - so of course I now have the sudden urge to start a side project 🤣

Flutter devs - is there a nicer way to fill the bottom scroll offset of a CustomScrollView (which uses BouncingScrollPhysics)? I'm currently using a scrollController.offset to display a Container behind the scroll view sized to the height of the scroll. It works, but is there a better way?

👀 Flutter 3.27.0 👀

Is anyone using tart.run (macOS virtual machine) for CI on self hosted runners? I have some questions!

Are there any good AI UI design tools yet?

This is a neat little package for Flutter Riverpod users: pub.dev/packages/riv...

Can any Flutter/Dart experts enlightem me as to why jsonEncode escapes strings (e.g. \n becomes \\n). This doesn't seem standard for json encoding. Can it be disabled?

Struggling to get Flutter working as a Daydream service (screensaver) on Android TV. Anyone else tried and had success?

Flutter with xcode 16 simulator is super flakey. Running the app doesn't work half the time. Anyone else having issues?

Really like that your handle on bluesky can be a domain. Finally a use for josh.app 😄

Hello Bluesky 👋 Where's all the flutter devs at?
