Tried out flutter a few days ago, gotta say, this is the direction i wanted to see mobile development go, its strongly typed, compiled and crossplatform. Probably the first thing from google i actually like.

Also i finally could change my name yay

Writing a truly crossplatform terminal library is the biggest pain in the ass.

And you thought windows was bad. They have a proper API with droves of features, freely allocatable screenbuffers, scrolling on both axes, etc.
Fucking xterm vtxxx compatible piles of shit are the problem.
Controlling kinda works eventhough the feature set is pretty bad. The really fucked up thing is reading values back. They literally get put into the input buffer. So you have to read all the actual user input before that and then somehow parse out the returned control sequence. Of course the user input has to be consumed so I have to buffer it myself. Even better is when you get a response with non printable characters which the fucking terminal will interpret as another control sequence. So when you set a window title to a ansi control sequence it would get executed when queried. Fuck this shit but I'm not giving up. I will tame this ugly, bodged together dragon

The Struggle of Developing Crossplatform

BANano, a free library that transpiles B4X (a crossplatform development tool) source code to JavaScript.

It allows users who are not fluent in JavaScript to make PWA's and dynamic Websites using a VB-like language and the Abstract Designer native to the B4X tool.

Currently rewriting a python library because the author clearly doesnt understand what crossplatform means, and this language is fucking terrible.

Anyone here know of a crossplatform note taking app that is free and opensource. maybe even with the option to selvhost the synch server

man phonegap has done such a great work, world always needed a cross platforn thingy for mobile.

Have you guys worked in flutter(dart)?
How long will it survive?
In my company, i suggest them to do project in flutter. They are refusing. Why companies prefer native development (as the crossplatform saves time for andriod n ios seperate build)?

What you think of it?

Damn. 3days and not yet finished with this bug.

Problem: in js, we want to popup a dialog to user that he us living the page.

So we used onbeforeunload.

Works well with chrome, ie and firefox (atfirst).

Then i updated my firefox to latest version and onbeforeunload is not triggering.

And it also occurs in tablet. Argh! Damn challenges on cross platform/browser compatibilities.

Help! Please

Spotify, where are my Subscribed Podcasts? Why do mobile App, Web Player, native MacOS App, and native Linux app so diffrent in the UI and even in the wording used? Leaves me, your paying user, upset and confused.

Please help :) should i stick to ionic or switch to something else for crossplatform development? What do you use?
