So I can't REST?

Welcome to the world of flutter.

I am actually looking for some help. 🤷‍♂️

@ewpratten came back to devrant after months and your comment made my day.

Fucking friend? You make friends for that?

Last preview version came out last week. Next is stable release 1.0. So far, my experience has been great. I am even using it to rebuild an app from scratch and developing a client's app as well. So far, it is good. Minimal tooling, easy code and quick results.

Totally depends on the app. Ionic is good for certain use cases, and Flutter is good for others. Using native Android SDKs is also the only option for certain use cases. Share what your are building.

I wrote the code to find primes. I thought of ways to speed it up so I can find primes between large ranges of numbers. I was about 16 then and didn't know much about standard algorithms and internet was a luxury. I finally ended up with a pretty good algorithm and working code. Later, after a few years, I came to know that it has already been a popular algorithm, known to the world as Sieve of Eratosthenes.

@JoshBent I am a little torn on disclosing the advantages and disadvantages of choosing one stack over another. The tech stack was not disclosed in the job posting, I am free to make the decision.

Async Tasks?

@wowotek I use camtasia studio. The gif is normally around 3 MB but I am not sure about the framerate.

@wowotek I use screen capture software to record my laptop's screen, then I publish it as a gif, works everywhere else. I have tried posting the same file on Twitter, FB, Reddit and it works.

@wowotek yes Sir, it does. Strangely mine don't work. I have uploaded two or three in the recent past (as rants) and they just show up as static images.

@gitpush, I am enjoying this discussion. I know that adapters give you complete control, and we do that in Flutter also, since dart is also an OOPL. I guess you just have to try it once. Watch a video I have on YouTube that teaches how to get JSON data and populate a list asynchronously. I am thinking creating an AsyncTask in Android is required if I am right, but Flutter makes it so easy. I totally understand the power of Native but, but, but, Flutter is almost it. Almost. Who knows what the future holds but I am excited and loving it so far.

@nate I have done some native app development in Android with Java and to be honest, I could not like it much. There were many reasons for that. To name a few, I could not deal with the complexity native sdk comes with. Coding a simple list requires me to create an adapter and then use it. It is too much work for a beginner. Tooling is terrible. Build times are drastic and there is no way to see your code working in action unless you deploy it. Building user interfaces was something I used to avoid because of so many complex things.

Flutter solves all the above problems. I love building UIs the most. I do not worry about having two files (for view and code-behind) and No, it does complicate the app if we have all the code in one file. "Everything is a widget" formula makes building everything you want to build fun and a breeze. See my rants, mg GitHub and my YouTube and you will understand what I am talking about. And, [drumroll] , you can see your app working on Android and iOS.

@Jere totally depends on factors like the app you are building, the time you have, the liberty you want with the implementation and the amount of money you want to spend on development. Flutter is a great option but you need to understand that it is not Android SDK, it uses dart. But it gives you two apps, one for Android and iOS each.

Don't know why the gif is not working!

@ng1905 I posted about it when I first released login screen 1. Now it contains a lot more. Do check out.

@Orionss much much more.

@aritzh I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

@arwTheDev give it a try.

New Screen Added. https://github.com/samarthagarwal/...

@1989 Not a pro here, but Flutter is a true cross platform mobile app development framework by Google. It lets you build apps for Android and iOS (native apps) using dart as the programming language.

@elzdev haha, enjoy your vacation.

The same thing will happen when you get back to code!

@Floydian toh mogambo khush go gya.

Well, if you are looking for a person who waits for months for a game to launch, gets it when it launches, finishes in a week and then regrets finishing it because it is not all that interesting anymore but wants more, I am here.

Glad he knows everything about his future (:

@SaltStack this is not just the design. This is the actual working UI built in flutter. You can checkout the github repo with all the code. Hence the Flutter UI.
