Vipane is helping me discover a new way to think about my desktop workspace :-) Instead of a rigid, predefined layout, it's malleable - apps can work together elegantly around the way I work. 🧷 Pin · 🗂️ Dock · 🎈 Float · 🛰️ Satellite Maybe this is part of the new software era: the shape of an app is no longer entirely in the developer’s hands - it's in the user's. Compare two AI answers side by side. Use app features like browser tabs, with familiar keyboard shortcuts. The possibilities feel unlimited. Software should adapt to your train of thought - not make your thoughts adapt to its layout :-)

Hi folks :D Tabs and splits run out fast. An agent opens five files, you follow three definitions, and you're lost. Meet O.W.L. (Overview With Links) 🦉 Every pane in Lumide on one canvas, linked by where you came from. Coming soon 🦊 #FlutterDev

More codebases = more cost.
Agents can generate native apps on Day 1, but what happens when codebases diverge on Day 2,000? 🗓️ Verification speed is the real bottleneck of agentic development. Flutter's sub-200ms feedback loop changes the equation ↓ goo.gle/4zdPE3Q

My slides (not sure I can still call them that) are an interactive 3D world, so why not give them a teaser? Every scene in it is rendered with Flutter. "Inside Flutter's Text Pipeline" #FlutterKaigi 2026 Audio ON

Finally published it. easing_gradient for #Flutter is now available on pub.dev! 🚀 Elevate your gradients Just by appending `Easing` to the constructor. e.g. LinearGradient -> EasingLinearGradient. Link in the first comment! 👇👇👇
If this doesn't convince you to use easing gradients for your #Flutter apps then I don't know what will. This a #flutter package I am building...

Today is a big day for DN developers! 🚀 Keep an eye on @DartNativeX. We have a few exciting posts coming throughout the day about DartNative 1.4.0, faster JSON decoding, and faster hot reload!
🚨 Can hot reload be much faster than in Flutter? DartNative lets you apply live changes in as little as 60ms, up to 3.9x faster. 💨

TRUE LIQUID GLASS FOR FLUTTER IS RIGHT HERE! 😻
Over a year ago, I published one of the first true Liquid Glass packages for #Flutter. it had some memory problems, and the look was also not close enough to the real thing. Today I'm shipping the first prerelease of 1.0.0 and what will hopefully make it into cupertino_ui 🧵

Measure a UI framework with an actually competent mindset 😉 No misleading claims, no cherry-picking, and no rigging benchmarks just to "win" every aspect of app performance. You can say DartNative has very little memory overhead, while still matching or even beating native performance. And with a single codebase. RN can’t compete with DN. DN absolutely mogged them 🫪
🚨Benchmarks: DartNative vs Native vs React Native. 2 apps (chat and cards), one derived by the RN/Legend example to put the weakest contender in its best condition. github.com/DartNative/dartna… DN is on par with native (Swift/Kotlin) and even beat native on several measures.🧵👇

Latest build_runner 2.17 with a huge pile of bug fixes and something that I hope is very interesting for builder maintainers--a new way to output part files--experimental for now, please send feedback :) pub.dev/packages/build_runne… `package:build` got a major version bump to 5 so it won't be immediately available everywhere; almost all packages should be able to just update pubspec.yaml and release, so hopefully it won't take too long :) ... deps override `package:build` to 5 should work to try it.

I fixed something stupid I did in zentoast 0.2.2, and reduced rebuilds from 10k down to just 180. ​I also added a new motion API so you can customize the feel of your toasts, and removed the flutter/material dependency to make it truly headless! ​Zentoast 1.0 is available now! Headless, interruptible toasts for any Flutter UI. Try it out!
